Mysore pickup
Families bound for Kovalam are collected at five from home, a palace area hotel, Mysore Junction, the suburban stand or Mandakalli airport. Kannada rules at the Mysore end, Tamil on the plains and Malayalam once you cross Walayar; our driver handles the chatter at every halt. Beach bags go behind the last row. The night stop, Thrissur, is about 335 km away. Kovalam lies roughly 635 km past Mysore for the family. Kovalam is 635 km off, so children stretch at Mysore.
Forest road
Hasanur, 110 km down the road, lies deep in the Sathyamangalam reserve, and the tempo traveller does not halt. Over 850 elephants roam this corridor, so the children watch through closed windows. The 27 hairpins of the Dhimbam ghat follow the village; anyone queasy should sit in front. Vehicles of 12 wheels or more are banned on the ghat, so traffic is light for a van. Kovalam lies roughly 525 km past Hasanur for the family.
Family breakfast
Coimbatore, 210 km from Mysore, is a late family breakfast on the bypass. Appam and paniyaram come on banana leaves in many eateries. Children can stretch in the hotel yard. Walayar and the Kerala border lie about 28 km west, then Palakkad. Fill bottles with Siruvani water, the city's pride. Kovalam lies roughly 425 km past Coimbatore for the family. Kovalam is 425 km off, so children stretch at Coimbatore. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Coimbatore.
Tea in Palakkad
Palakkad, 265 km out, follows the Walayar check post, where the van's permit and tax receipts are shown, now possible online too. Palakkadan Matta, the district's red rice, is sold in the shops; kondattam and murukku made from it are snacks children like. Thrissur is about 70 km on. Kovalam lies roughly 370 km past Palakkad for the family. Kovalam is 370 km off, so children stretch at Palakkad. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Palakkad.
Overnight halt
Thrissur, 335 km from Mysore, is the family's night stop. Breakfast next morning can be puttu or idiyappam with egg curry, the Kerala way. December to February is dry and pleasant here, while March to May is hot and humid. About 300 km remain to Kovalam on day two. Kovalam lies roughly 300 km past Thrissur for the family. Kovalam is 300 km off, so children stretch at Thrissur. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Thrissur.
Stretch and tea
Kochi, about 410 km out, is the family's first stretch of the second day. Ernakulam is the business centre of this port city, which also runs Kerala's only metro. The van then joins NH66 south. Cochin airport is about 7 km from Angamaly. Kovalam lies roughly 225 km past Kochi for the family. Kovalam is 225 km off, so children stretch at Kochi. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Kochi. Kovalam bound elders take shaded seats at Kochi.
Family tea break
Alleppey, at 465 km, is tea in the canal town. The Nehru Trophy snake boat race runs on Punnamada lake near here around Onam, with boats over 100 ft long. Kollam is about 85 km south. Kovalam lies roughly 170 km past Alleppey for the family. Kovalam is 170 km off, so children stretch at Alleppey. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Alleppey. Kovalam bound elders take shaded seats at Alleppey.
Family lunch
Kollam, 550 km from Mysore, is the family lunch. Vettu kekku, a crisp fried sweet, is a Kollam treat. Munroe Island lies about 25 km off our road, and Varkala about 30 km south, for another trip. Cashew nuts are the buy. Kovalam lies roughly 85 km past Kollam for the family. Kovalam is 85 km off, so children stretch at Kollam. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Kollam. Kovalam bound elders take shaded seats at Kollam.
City tea halt
Thiruvananthapuram, 620 km out, is the last tea stop before the beach. The Attukal Bhagavathy, Sreevaraham and Shreekanteswaram temples are among the city's shrines. Ponmudi hill station is about 53 km north east if the family extends the holiday. Kovalam is roughly 16 km by road. Kovalam lies roughly 15 km past Thiruvananthapuram for the family. Kovalam is 15 km off, so children stretch at Thiruvananthapuram. Kovalam bags stay packed; nothing comes off at Thiruvananthapuram.
Beach drop
The tempo traveller drops the family at the Kovalam hotel after about twelve and a half driving hours over two days. Kovalam is roughly 12.6 km from the city centre, and Vizhinjam harbour lies right next door. Hotel lanes near the sand can be narrow, so the van stops as close as it can and the driver helps with bags. From Kovalam the family returns the same 635 km. Share your Kovalam checkout time with the driver.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

About 635 km one way from Mysore, or about 1,270 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller takes the Chamarajanagar road, Hasanur and the Dhimbam ghat to Coimbatore, halts the night at Thrissur, then goes through Kochi, Alleppey, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. Driving time is about 13.5 to 14 hours over two days.
The lanes near Lighthouse Beach are narrow. Cars go close; the tempo traveller may stop on the main road and the hotel helps with bags.
No. Kovalam is out of state, so the Kerala permit is extra. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at the real cost.
Sure. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Kovalam: the 16 seater, with spare seats for luggage. It works out to ₹48,000 for 1,500 km at ₹32/km, plus ₹3,000 driver allowance. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. For the tempo traveller: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Near Alleppey, yes. The Nehru Trophy snake boat race is held on Punnamada lake near Alappuzha in the Onam season, and the town is packed that week. Day two passes on NH66, so we leave Thrissur earlier on race days to keep the beach arrival in daylight.
Yes, with the Thrissur night halt splitting the 635 km. The van stops every hour or so, and elders sit in the middle rows for the Dhimbam hairpins on day one. Day two is flat coastal highway. Kovalam's Ayurvedic resorts suit elders who want a gentle stay.
