Pickup at your door
Pickup is at 5 am, from your home, a hotel on JLB Road or Mandakalli airport. Many families bring an offering from Mysore for Rajagopalaswamy: silk from the KSIC outlet on Manandavadi Road, or sandalwood incense from the government factory at Ashokapuram. Both close by evening, so shop the previous day. The cab goes south towards Nanjangud and crosses over to Chamarajanagar. Mannargudi, in the heart of the Kaveri delta, is about 440 km away, a single long day by car.

Breakfast
Sixty km out, the family stops in Chamarajanagar for a twenty minute breakfast of idli, vada and filter coffee near the bus stand. People who enjoy old stone carving might note Yelandur, about 20 km off towards Kollegal, where the Gaurishvara temple hangs chains cut from solid rock; that is a separate outing from Mysore. Top up fuel before moving on, because the forest stretch through Hasanur and down the ghat has no pump at all. About 380 km remain to Mannargudi.

Tea in town
After twisting down the 27 bends of the Dhimbam ghat, the cab reaches Sathyamangalam, 140 km from home, for a ten minute tea. Two mountain chains, the Western and Eastern Ghats, meet in the forest you just left, which is now a tiger reserve of about 1,408 sq km; that is why the driver never stops on it. From this town to the delta it is all plains. The Bhavani flows beside the road for a while, with rice growing on both sides.

Quick halt
By mid morning the car reaches Erode, 205 km out, and stops ten minutes by the NH544 bypass. Turmeric, cloth and coconut oil are this city's business, and a packet of the local turmeric is a handy kitchen gift. On a small hill about 6 km from the centre, Thindal Murugan temple suits a short darshan if the family wants one. Tiffin is cheap, dosa or parotta for a snack. Karur, the lunch stop, is about 65 km south.

Lunch
Lunch is at Karur, 270 km from Mysore, about forty minutes for the family at a highway hotel. This is coach building country, and new bus bodies stand outside the workshops on the main road. Karur's mills also spin and dye cotton, so towels are a bargain. Up in the Kadavur hills near Pooncholai, the Ponnaniyar dam is a picnic spot locals love, for another trip. After lunch the cab follows the Kaveri east towards Trichy.

Tea
Trichy, 350 km out, is a fifteen minute tea halt. Just north of the city, Srirangam sits on an island between the Kaveri and the Kollidam, and its Ranganathaswamy temple is often called the largest working Hindu temple in the world; it deserves half a day, so keep it for the return. Trichy airport is about 5 km from the city. From here the cab heads for Thanjavur, about 55 km on, and then Mannargudi.

Drive through
The cab usually rolls through Thanjavur, 405 km from home, without stopping on the way in. Rice fields on both sides tell you why people call this district the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu. When you come back for sightseeing, the craft shops sell dancing dolls, gold leaf Tanjore paintings and bell metal plates. Music lovers may plan a visit to Thiruvaiyaru, about 13 km away, for the Tyagaraja Aradhana in January and February. Mannargudi is about 35 km south.

Temple town drop
About 10 to 10.5 hours after leaving Mysore, the cab reaches Mannargudi and drops the family near the temple. With Thanjavur about 40 km away, Kumbakonam about 36 km and Tiruvarur about 28 km, the car is ideal for short temple runs around the delta on the following days. Expect crowds during the Panguni festival in March and April, when rooms go early. Most rain arrives with the northeast monsoon late in the year, so pack umbrellas from October.

The car to Mannargudi collects you at a hotel on JLB Road or Mandakalli airport. Book a Mysore to Mannargudi taxi through cab rental in Mysore: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova or Crysta for seven.

Mannargudi, deep in the Kaveri delta, is about 440 km from Mysore, near 880 km if the cab returns with you. The car crosses the forest and the ghat, follows the river plains by Karur and Trichy, and passes Thanjavur for the last 35 km. Plan around 10 to 10.5 hours with meals, one long day.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. ₹400 a night is the cab rate.
Yes. Local km at the destination go on at the same rate, and our driver waits at each stop.

An Innova Crysta. Six people and their bags fit. See each car on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, quoted when you ask. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
April to June is the hottest time on this road. Trichy and Karur are at their hottest then, and the plains stay warm into the evening. The cab is AC, but stops in the open sun are tiring. We start at 5 am to cover the long stretch in the cooler hours and keep halts short. November to February is the most comfortable season for this trip.
We halt about every hour or two after breakfast: Sathyamangalam, Erode, Karur for lunch, and Trichy for tea. The one long gap is the forest and the Dhimbam ghat, about two hours, so elders should use the restroom at Chamarajanagar. The car stops close to the temple area at Mannargudi, so walking is short. Elders who tire can break the trip with a night at Trichy.
