Home pickups
For a group of 9 to 18 we can pick up from two or three homes in one part of Mysuru, or from one hotel or the railway station. Fix the pickup order the night before. Start at 5:30 am. The van leaves by the Nanjangud road towards Chamarajanagar and the Tamil Nadu border. On Tamil Nadu routes, check the news the day before, because the Kaveri water dispute sometimes brings bandh days and demonstrations in Mysore. Soft bags fit best in the space behind the last row. Breakfast is at Chamarajanagar, about 60 km out.
Family breakfast
Chamarajanagar is the head town of Karnataka's southernmost district and the family breakfast stop. A full van group fits at one long table in the larger hotels, and the driver parks at the door. Turmeric and banana fields run right up to the town. If the elders want a darshan, the Chamarajeshwara temple in the centre takes about 30 minutes, so the halt grows to 40 or more. Use the restrooms and fill the water bottles here; the road towards Hasanur and the Dhimbam ghat runs through forest, with no shops and no stopping.
Tea below the ghat
The van reaches the plains at Bannari, at the foot of the Dhimbam ghat, and Sathyamangalam is a short drive on. The ghat has 27 hairpins, and children who feel queasy should take a window seat in the front rows. Sathy lies by the Bhavani river. Bhavanisagar dam, an earthen dam about 40 m high that opened in 1956, is about 16 km west if the group wants a picnic on the way home. Tea and restrooms take 20 minutes for a group this size, and then NH948 carries on through farmland to Coimbatore.
Lunch
Coimbatore is the lunch stop, and for a family group the easy choice is a meals hotel on the main road out of the city, where 15 people can sit together. Idli, dosa, paniyaram and appam are on most menus at any hour, which helps with fussy children, and potato rice is a cheap local favourite. Coimbatore makes most of India's wet grinders; if someone at home wants one, it fits behind the last row of the van, but buy it on the return. After lunch the van takes the road south towards Udumalpet.
Last town in Tamil Nadu
Udumalpet is the last stop in Tamil Nadu, with the Western Ghats on three sides of the town. Wind turbines turn on the fields around it, and coconut, maize and sugarcane grow in between, something for the children to watch from the window. The driver fills diesel here, because the forest and the climb come next. Fifteen minutes covers tea and the restrooms. Amaravathi dam, on the edge of the Anamalai tiger reserve, has a crocodile farm that children may like on the way back. From here SH17 heads into the hills.
Kerala border
At Chinnar the van crosses into Kerala at the check post. The driver handles the papers, so the group stays seated. The sanctuary lies on both sides of the road for about 16 km, dry scrub forest, because the hills block most of the rain. Keep the windows up and the children quiet if elephants are near the road; nobody gets down inside the sanctuary. Near the Alampetty tribal settlement, at Manala, there is an old rock painting, one more reason this forest is protected. Marayoor is the next town, a short climb on.
Stay drop
Marayoor is at about 990 m, and evenings are pleasant rather than cold, around 21 C at the low end. The van drops the group at the gate of the stay. For a homestay up a narrow lane, tell us the name and send a pin, and we check whether a tempo traveller can reach it; unload bags before dark. Ask the stay to cook for the whole group on the first night, as it saves a search for food after a long day. If the plan includes Munnar, it is about 40 km south on the same road, an easy day trip and back.

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. 👍

Marayoor is about 325 km from Mysore, about 650 km for the round trip. The road goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore and Udumalpet, then through the Chinnar forest into Kerala. A tempo traveller takes about 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts. Most of the drive is plains highway; the ghat at Dhimbam and the climb after Chinnar are the slow parts.
Only after 10 pm; then the Marayoor driver gets ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
The 12 seater, or 15 for bag room. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
No, those are separate. For Marayoor, the 12 seater over 3 days and 900 km is ₹23,400 with ₹1,800 driver bata. Then tolls, Tamil Nadu and Kerala entry tax, parking and GST.
Marayoor one way? We can do it on request. A one way van is quoted at the return rate with ₹2 a km.
Yes. It is made in small sheds around town and is known across Kerala.
Yes, at the Tamil Nadu end of the Dhimbam ghat. The Bannari Amman temple at the foot of the ghat holds its Kundam festival in the Tamil month of Panguni, around March or April, and lakhs of devotees come. Traffic near Bannari and Sathyamangalam slows down badly on those days. If your dates fall then, tell us at booking, and we start earlier from Mysore so the van clears Bannari before the crowd builds.
For a trip of three or four days, one medium soft bag per person plus a small hand bag fits behind the last row. Hard suitcases take more room, so mix them with soft bags. Keep water, snacks and medicines in the hand bags, since the forest stretches have no shops. For 15 or more with big bags, book the next size up rather than stacking luggage in the aisle.
