Group pickup
For a wedding party of up to 25, the mini bus collects everyone at one Mysuru venue at 5:30 am, a mantapa or a community hall works well, and loads the gifts and bags under the seats. On Vijayadashami, heavy vehicles are barred from entering the city by the Nanjangud road, so on that day we meet outside the ring road. The route goes south through Nanjangud and Gundlupet. Malappuram is about 195 km away, and the Bandipur forest, closed from 9 pm, decides the timing.

Fuel and restroom
Gundlupet, about 60 km out, is where the mini bus fills fuel and the group uses the restroom, fifteen minutes in all. At this fork NH766 runs on to Sulthan Bathery and Kozhikode, while our road, NH181, goes through Bandipur and Mudumalai to Gudalur. Gopalaswamy Betta, the hill temple at about 1,450 m, is reached from here by Hangala, but private vehicles stop at the check post below. Kerala bound travellers usually eat further on, so breakfast waits for Gudalur.

Forest crossing
Bandipur, about 80 km from Mysore, is crossed without a halt; stopping on the forest highway can bring fines and even vehicle seizure. The reserve forms part of the elephant corridor linking it with Nagarhole, so the driver keeps a calm pace. Among the animals seen from the road are chital, peafowl and elephants, and the forest also holds gaur, sloth bear and dhole. The Nugu river flows through the park. After the Tamil Nadu border at Mudumalai, the mini bus climbs towards Gudalur.

Breakfast for the group
Gudalur, about 110 km from Mysore, is where the group has breakfast; allow forty minutes for 25 people. Three states meet near here, and roads from Mysore, Ooty and Calicut all come together in the town. Malayalam is widely spoken, as Gudalur was part of Malabar till 1877. The mini bus parks off the busy main road. Rain is heavy in June to August, and landslips can close ghat roads in the Nilgiris, so we confirm the Nadukani ghat is open before setting out.

Tea break
Nilambur comes at about 165 km, at the bottom of the Nadukani ghat, and the mini bus stops fifteen minutes for tea. The Chaliyar flows past the town, and teak from these forests was once carried out on the Nilambur to Shoranur railway, one of the shortest broad gauge lines in the country. Adyanpara falls is among the sights nearby. Manjeri is about 27 km south west, and Malappuram about 30 km on. Guests landing at Calicut airport, about 44.5 km away, can be picked up here.

Hall or hotel drop
The mini bus reaches Malappuram about five and a half hours after Mysore, roughly 195 km, and stops at the hall or hotel. Moyinkutty Vaidyar, the Mappila song poet, is remembered at the Vaidyar Smarakam here, an easy visit while the function is prepared. The town has a football stadium at Kottappadi in its centre. Summer heat runs near 39 C, so keep water handy. For the drive back, leave by early afternoon so the Bandipur forest is behind you before it closes.

By Gundlupet, Gudalur and Nilambur, Malappuram is about 195 km from Mysore, about 390 km for the return. A mini bus with a wedding group takes about five and a half hours, counting a forty minute breakfast at Gudalur and the slow Nadukani ghat.
With 600 km over 2 days, the fare is 20 seater ₹21,800 (₹34/km). The driver's daily allowance is ₹700; tolls, the Kerala permit and GST come on top.
The 25 seater, with bags under the seats and at the back. Other sizes are listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
No. Fuel and the driver sit inside the km rate; tolls, parking and the Kerala permit go on the bill at actual, and GST on top.
Yes, on the way in or out. The extra km are billed at the same rate.
Yes, one way works. The rate goes up by ₹2 a km, and the empty drive back to Mysore is already inside the price we quote.
We check the ghat the evening before. If it is closed, the mini bus takes NH766 from Gundlupet through Sulthan Bathery and the Thamarassery side to Kozhikode and on to Malappuram, a longer drive. The start then moves earlier so the group still reaches the function on time.
Not through Bandipur, which closes at 9 pm. A group that finishes late either stays the night in Malappuram or starts very early to reach the forest after 6 am. We suggest the overnight stay, so the driver rests and the ghat is climbed in daylight.
