Pickup in Mysore
Kovalam lies at the far tip of Kerala, so the cab arrives at five, whether at a bungalow in Gokulam, a palace side lodge, the junction station, the suburban stand or the Mandakalli airstrip. Mysore mallige, the jasmine named after the city, and Mysore betel leaves are small gifts Kerala hosts appreciate. The car runs south on NH766 and turns for the Chamarajanagar road. Tonight's stop, Thrissur, is some 335 km away. Kovalam is still about 635 km past Mysore by car.
Forest road
Hasanur, 110 km out, sits inside the Sathyamangalam sanctuary in Erode district, and the Kovalam car rolls through it without stopping. Elephants and tigers share this forest with NH948, and the Dhimbam ghat right after drops 27 bends to Bannari. Night traffic on that ghat has been restricted, which is why the cab left Mysore at five. No shops exist here, so breakfast waits for the plains. Kovalam is still about 525 km past Hasanur by car.
Late breakfast
Coimbatore, around 210 km from Mysore, gives the Kovalam car a late breakfast on the 28 km bypass between Neelambur and Madukkarai. Banana leaf plates of idli, dosa and paniyaram are standard here. The city's Siruvani water has a name for good taste, so refill. Walayar, Kerala's door, is half an hour west. Kovalam is still about 425 km past Coimbatore by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Coimbatore halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Coimbatore.
Tea in Palakkad
Palakkad, 265 km out, comes just past the Walayar check post where the car's papers are shown. Hyder Ali rebuilt the fort here in 1766, moat and all, right in the town centre. Paddy fields stretch on both sides, the reason Kerala calls this district its granary. Thrissur, tonight's halt, is about 70 km ahead. Kovalam is still about 370 km past Palakkad by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Palakkad halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Palakkad.
Overnight halt
Thrissur, 335 km from Mysore, is where the Kovalam cab stops for the night. The city wraps around the Vadakkumnathan temple on its hillock, and evening tea shops pour kattan chaya with parippu vada. Next morning the car starts early; about 300 km of coast road remain to Kovalam. Kovalam is still about 300 km past Thrissur by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Thrissur halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Thrissur.
Morning coffee
Kochi, about 410 km out, is a coffee stop on the second morning. The Chinese fishing nets of Fort Kochi are the city's symbol, though they sit on the islands west of the highway, so keep them for another day. NH66 now carries the car south. Kovalam is still about 225 km past Kochi by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Kochi halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Kochi. Kovalam lies 225 km on, so swap seats at Kochi.
Quick halt
Alleppey, 465 km along, is a quick stretch in the canal town. Fish curry soured with kudampuli is the Alappuzha taste, if you are hungry early. Kollam lies about 85 km further, via Kayamkulam. Coir mats are the town's buy. Kovalam is still about 170 km past Alleppey by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Alleppey halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Alleppey. Kovalam lies 170 km on, so swap seats at Alleppey.
Lunch in Kollam
Kollam, 550 km from Mysore, is lunch on the second day. Ashtamudi lake, shaped like a palm with many arms, opens out beside the town, and Thangasseri by the sea keeps remains of a Portuguese fort. Cashew nuts processed in Kollam are the buy. Thiruvananthapuram is about 71 km south east. Kovalam is still about 85 km past Kollam by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Kollam halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Kollam.
City tea halt
Thiruvananthapuram, 620 km out, is a short tea stop in Kerala's most populous city. Its international airport lies close to the centre, handy for flying home after the beach. Padmanabhapuram Palace, owned by Kerala though it stands in Tamil Nadu, is about 52 km on towards Nagercoil. Kovalam is only about 16 km by road. Kovalam is still about 15 km past Thiruvananthapuram by car. Kovalam by daylight needs the Thiruvananthapuram halt short. Kovalam snacks are easy to pick up at Thiruvananthapuram.
Beach drop
The cab drops you at your Kovalam hotel after about eleven and a half driving hours across two days. Kovalam sits about 12.6 km south east of the city centre, with the airport some 10 km and Thiruvananthapuram Central station about 16 km away. Many hotels here are Ayurvedic treatment resorts, so ask about therapy timings when you check in. Back to Mysore from Kovalam is again 635 km. Tell the driver your Kovalam checkout time.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Kovalam is about 635 km from Mysore one way, so about 1,270 km there and back. The cab goes via Chamarajanagar, Hasanur and the Dhimbam ghat to Coimbatore, then Palakkad, a night at Thrissur, Kochi, Alleppey, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. Plan on about 13.5 to 14 hours of driving over two days.
No. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Around 5:00 am, so the long drive ends before dark. Since a car is faster than a bus or van, a late riser is not a problem.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. ₹400 a night is the cab rate.
Six to Kovalam with bags: an Innova Crysta. On this trip it is ₹32,000 for 1,500 km at ₹20/km, plus ₹2,000 driver bata. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Kovalam one way cab quote with your date; you get the distance and fare as a written quote.
The coast gets heavy rain from June to September and again in October and November. NH66 stays open, but traffic through Kochi, Alleppey and Kollam slows a lot in downpours, and the beach is rough. December to March is the calm, dry season for a Kovalam trip.
Yes. Day one ends at Thrissur, and day two is mostly coastal highway with halts every hour or so. Keep a light breakfast before the Dhimbam bends on day one. Pack swimwear and sun cream in a hand bag so the children can head to the beach without unpacking.
