Meeting point
Friends travelling together board fastest from one spot, so choose a hall, the railway station or your house and be ready by 5:15 am. If some of the group come from north India, note that people in Mysore mostly speak Kannada, and outside the tourist spots few understand Hindi; the driver handles directions all the way to Tamil Nadu. We roll at 5:30 am towards Nanjangud, then turn for Chamarajanagar; Madurai splits the two day drive.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar, reached after 60 km, is breakfast. For twenty, the coordinator should order the moment the mini bus parks, and idli, vada and coffee for all take about thirty minutes. The town's Suvarnavathi dam is about 16 km away, a short outing for another weekend. Fill water bottles and use the restroom before leaving; the Hasanur forest and the ghat ahead have no stop. The driver fills diesel, then counts heads.
Tea
Tigers live in the forest behind you, 80 of them recorded in 2018, in a reserve where two mountain chains, the Western and Eastern Ghats, join. Nobody gets down until town. At Sathyamangalam, with 145 km done, the group has fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Buses run often from here to Erode and Coimbatore, so the road ahead is busy but good. Erode is about 70 km on.
Restroom halt
Erode, after 215 km, is a quarter hour halt for the restroom and tea. The city's market sells cotton cloth in bulk to traders from every state. The friends in the group who want a souvenir can look at Bhavani jamakkalam, woven rugs and blankets with a GI tag, made about 12 km away. Chennimalai hill temple is about 30 km off the road. Lunch is at Karur, roughly 65 km south.
Lunch
Lunch on day one is at Karur, after 280 km, where one highway hotel can feed all twenty at once in forty five minutes. Karur is a coach building and textile town. Ponnaniyar dam, up in the Kadavur hills by Pooncholai village, is a picnic spot the locals like, for another trip. Fill water bottles; the afternoon is warm on the plains. From Karur the mini bus heads south on NH44 towards Dindigul.
Tea
With 355 km covered, the mini bus stops for tea in Dindigul, away from the busy Kamarajar bus stand. Since 1605 a fort has crowned the rock above town, now cared for by the ASI; a small ticket gets you to the top, best on the return. Dindigul locks have a GI tag and make a useful gift. Madurai, the night stop, is about 65 km on. The group has fifteen minutes here.
Night halt
Night one is spent in Madurai, 420 km from home, all twenty in a single hotel with a yard for the mini bus. Shoppers can hunt for brass lamps, Tanjore paintings and the city's Sungudi cotton sarees in the evening. Anyone visiting the Meenakshi temple must deposit phones; darshan runs until about 10 pm. Next morning the mini bus turns off at Thirumangalam onto NH744 for Rajapalayam and the falls.
Tea
A tea and restroom halt at Rajapalayam opens day two, 505 km from Mysore. Look right and the hills are already in view. Rajapalayam is called Cotton City for its mills, and nearby Chatrapatti makes surgical cotton gauze. Mangoes from the town are sold by the road in season. Tenkasi is about 60 km on. Twenty people need about fifteen minutes here, and the coordinator can buy a basket of fruit for the last stretch.
Last town
At Tenkasi, 565 km out, the group has a last chance to shop for towels, slippers and snacks before Kutralam, only about 5 km ahead. Those continuing into Kerala later should know the Kollam highway, NH744, runs from Tenkasi through Shenkottai and Aryankavu to Thenmala. Fifteen minutes is enough for twenty people here. Rain is heaviest here in October and November, so pack umbrellas in those months. The falls are a few minutes away.
Group drop
Twenty friends step down at their Kutralam stay on the second morning, after about 13.5 to 14 hours of driving altogether. The mini bus remains with the group to ferry everyone from one falls to the next. For the trip home, the nearest airports are Tuticorin, Thiruvananthapuram and Madurai. Weekends here are busy, so reserve rooms early, and remind everyone to bring a towel and spare clothes. Each person needs a bag for wet clothes.
Taking 20 friends on a Mysore to Kutralam mini bus trip for the falls season? Kutralam (Courtallam) is a town of waterfalls at the foot of the Western Ghats, near Tenkasi.

By road, Kutralam lies about 570 km from Mysore; there and back is near 1,140 km. Day one takes the mini bus over the Dhimbam ghat and across the plains to Madurai for the night. Day two follows the Kollam road from Thirumangalam to Rajapalayam and Tenkasi, with the falls just beyond. Expect about 13.5 to 14 hours of driving altogether.
Not in the fare: tolls on the 570 km road to Kutralam, parking, permits and GST, with receipts.
Kutralam: up to 16 the 16 seater, about 20, the 20 seater, 22 to 25 the 22 or 25 seater. All sizes are on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
We quote Kutralam one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
A drive beyond 10 pm adds a night allowance for the driver, as per the quote. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes. Main, Five and Old falls are all reachable by road, a few km apart.
The Kundam festival at the Bannari Amman temple can. The temple stands at the foot of the Dhimbam ghat, right on our road, and the festival in the Tamil month of Panguni, March to April, brings lakhs of devotees. Traffic near Bannari crawls on those days. We check the date before your trip and plan to pass early in the morning.
Seniors take the front rows, where the ride is smoothest, and on day one we stop at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Erode, Karur and Dindigul, so nobody sits for more than about two hours. The night is in one hotel at Madurai. Day two is only about 150 km to the falls. At Kutralam, elders should bathe only where the water is gentle, with someone beside them.
