Pickup in Mysore
Madurai is a ten hour day for a full coach, so boarding is at 4:30 am, at a ground or campus gate where the bus can turn. Big bags into the hold, names ticked off by the coordinator, and the doors close. A tip for groups that keep a Mysore sightseeing day at the end: the zoo and Karanji lake do not open on Tuesdays, so plan that day around it. Out of the city the coach follows NH766 to Nanjangud and then turns for Chamarajanagar.

Coach tea halt
Chamarajanagar is a 20 minute tea halt for the coach; breakfast waits until after the ghat. The town is the last district seat in Karnataka on this road, and BR Hills lies about 40 km from it by a forest road through K Gudi. A hotel with a yard on the highway suits the bus. Restrooms in turns, diesel, and a head count, then into the forest. A tea order sent ahead keeps the halt on time for a full coach.

Forest, bus keeps moving
The Dhimbam ghat is a long descent of 27 hairpins from the forest to Bannari, and the bus keeps moving all the way. The ghat bars vehicles with 12 or more wheels; a tourist bus is allowed, but a coach still takes each bend in low gear and often waits at the tight ones. Night traffic here has been banned in the past, which is one more reason for the dawn start.

Group breakfast halt
Out of the forest, the coach reaches Sathyamangalam for the group breakfast. Behind it lies a reserve where hundreds of elephants roam, and ahead lies flat Bhavani farmland. Choose a hotel with a yard large enough to turn a coach; ring the order through from Bannari, and plates for 40 to 50 come out together, so the halt stays near 40 minutes. The tank is filled at the same stop. Sathy is a bus junction, and the coach avoids its stand by keeping to the highway, then turns east for Gobichettipalayam.

Group lunch halt
Gobichettipalayam is the lunch halt, at a hotel on the highway side where a coach can stand; the town roads are narrow. Lunch and the head count take about 50 minutes. Gobi lies on SH15, the old road from Erode to Sathy, in a belt of paddy and banana. After lunch the bus heads south for Dharapuram, about 70 km. Fresh bananas from the local groves make an easy snack for 40 people.

Tea for the coach
Dharapuram is a 20 minute tea halt on the Amaravathi river. Lorries on SH21 pass through the town, so the coach uses a hotel yard off the main road. The town has the Agatheeswarar temple. Afternoons here are hot outside the October and November rains, so refill the water cans. Dindigul is about 75 km on. Coconut and maize fields stretch on both sides of the road here, and the land stays flat to Dindigul.

Coach tea halt
Dindigul is the last halt before Madurai, 20 minutes for tea. The coach stays on the bypass, because village and town roads here can be narrow. The town is known for Dindigul biryani, locks, leather and the largest vegetable market in Tamil Nadu. Sirumalai hills, about 25 km off on the Natham road, are another outing. Madurai is about 66 km on NH44. The rock fort on the hill above the town is clear from the road.

Arrival
Madurai is reached in about ten hours. A coach needs a hotel with bus parking, because the old city streets are narrow and crowded, so book that early. Fix dinner for the group in advance. In the evening the group can walk out for jigarthanda and kothu parotta. Madurai is hot most of the year, hottest from March to July. The driver parks the bus at the hotel. Madurai Malli, the city's jasmine, is sold fresh in the evening.

The cooler months after the northeast monsoon, which brings rain from October to December, are the most comfortable. March to July is the hottest time, hard on a big group walking around the city. Chithirai, mid April to May, packs the city and hotels. Book early if your dates fall in those weeks.
Yes, if orders go ahead. The bus stops for breakfast at Sathyamangalam, lunch at Gobichettipalayam and tea at Dharapuram and Dindigul. The coordinator phones the hotel with the head count from the halt before, so food is ready on arrival. Carry snacks and water for the forest stretch after Chamarajanagar, which has no shops.
