Pickup in Mysuru
The Urbania picks you up from home, from a hotel near the palace or from the bus stand, anywhere in Mysuru. Leave at 5:30 am by the Nanjangud road, which runs south to Chamarajanagar in about 60 km. If your dates fall in Dasara, in September or October, Mysore is crowded and most exits have traffic diversions, so check the city traffic advisory the evening before and allow extra time to clear town. Suitcases go in the luggage space at the back and the aisle stays clear. Marayoor is a long day, so carry snacks and water.
Breakfast
Breakfast is at Chamarajanagar, the town at the end of the railway line from Mysore. A few bigger hotels near the main road can seat the whole group at once, and the van parks outside. Silk is the old trade of this district and of Kollegal nearby, though there is no time for silk shops this morning. Let the elders walk a little before the long forest stretch. Fill the water bottles and send everyone to the restroom, because the run through Hasanur and down the Dhimbam bends has no halt for about an hour. Marayoor lies some 265 km on.
Tea in Tamil Nadu
Sathyamangalam is the first town in Tamil Nadu on this road. Before it, the Dhimbam ghat drops through 27 hairpin bends to Bannari, and the driver takes them slowly with elders on board. The forest around is the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, where the Western and Eastern Ghats meet, and more than 850 elephants have been counted in it. Take 15 minutes for tea and the restroom. From here the Urbania keeps to NH948, the Coimbatore highway, past paddy fields along the Bhavani.
Lunch
Lunch is in Coimbatore, served on a banana leaf in the old way, and the larger meals hotels can seat the whole group together. If the city is congested, the driver can use the NH544 bypass, around 28 km from Neelambur to Madukkarai, to stay out of the centre. Elders who like temples should note Perur Patteeswarar, one of the city's two great temples, for the drive home rather than today. Allow about 40 minutes. Udumalpet, the next halt, is about 70 km south, and the hills begin soon after it.
Tea before the hills
Udumalpet is about 72 km from Coimbatore on the Dindigul highway, a farming town of coconut, millet and paddy at about 1,208 ft. The climb to Kerala begins after it, so the driver fills fuel here. Elders who want a temple can see the Amanalingeswarar temple in the Thirumoorthy hills, where the dam and the Panchalingam falls are, but that detour needs at least an hour, so most groups keep it for the drive home. A tea break of 15 minutes, then the Urbania turns onto SH17 for Chinnar.
Check post and forest
Chinnar is the border check post into Kerala and the start of the sanctuary. The road runs through it for about 16 km and climbs from the river at about 400 m. In this rain shadow forest rain falls on only about 48 days a year, so the road is dry most of the time. The Urbania does not stop inside; elephants and deer can be close to the road, and windows stay shut when they are. Keep ID handy in case the check post asks. Marayoor is about 15 km ahead.
Drop at the stay
Marayoor, at about 990 m, is the drop point for the Urbania. Most stays here are small, so share the name and location before the trip and we confirm the van can reach the gate; if the lane is narrow, the driver stops on the main road and helps with the bags. Evenings stay mild, around 21 C, comfortable for elders. Order dinner at the stay ahead of arrival. If you plan to see Munnar, it lies about 40 km on, and the Urbania can go there and back in a day.
Elders on the way to Munnar? A Mysore to Marayoor Force Urbania suits them. With two ghats on the way, its reclining seats and steady ride make the day much easier. For Marayoor we pick up from your Mysuru home, a hotel or the railway station. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The Mysore to Marayoor road distance is about 325 km one way and about 650 km for the return trip. The Urbania goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore and Udumalpet, then through Chinnar into Kerala. Plan about 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts. Leaving Mysore at 5:30 am puts the group in Marayoor by mid afternoon.
Yes, when you ask for it. A drop only trip to Marayoor is priced ₹2 a km above the return rate.
Past 10 pm on the Marayoor trip, the driver gets a night allowance of ₹700 a night.
They are billed in addition. At ₹40/km, 3 days, 900 km come to ₹38,100; our driver gets ₹2,100. Tolls, Tamil Nadu and Kerala entry tax, parking and GST follow at actuals.
Two winding stretches. The Urbania is steady and we stop if anyone needs a break.
The 13 seater. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Only the start and the end. Dasara falls in September or October, and for ten days Mysore is very crowded, with diversions round the palace and on several exit roads; on Vijayadashami vehicles have been kept out of the city on the Nanjangud road too. If you travel then, we pick up earlier, check the traffic advisory, and on the return drop you by a route the police allow that day.
Yes, as long as everyone stays inside. Elephants use the Sathyamangalam reserve and the Chinnar sanctuary, and they often stand near the road. The Urbania does not stop in either forest, the windows stay shut when animals are close, and no food is thrown out, because it draws animals to the road. Give children the window seats on the left and let them watch from there.
