Pickup
The Urbania arrives at 6 am, at your home or hotel in Mysuru. A box of Mysore pak, the gram flour and ghee sweet sold all over the city, is a good thing to carry for the long day or as a gift for the hosts on the hill. Suitcases go in the back; jackets and medicines stay with you. The van heads south by Nanjangud to Chamarajanagar. Meghamalai is about nine hours away, so elders may prefer a night's rest at Palani on the way.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt, the district town at Karnataka's southern edge. The Urbania stops at a main road hotel for about 25 minutes, enough for a calm breakfast for ten. From this town a forest road of about 40 km goes to BR Hills through K Gudi, but the van keeps to the Hasanur road today. The next hour and more is forest and then the Dhimbam bends, with no halt, so the restroom comes first.
Tea
At the foot of the Dhimbam ghat the Bannari Amman temple, of the rain goddess, stands by the road, and Sathyamangalam follows. The Urbania halts there for tea and the restroom, about 15 minutes, at a highway hotel rather than the busy bus stand road. From Sathy the highway is level, through farms watered by the Bhavani, and elders usually rest well on this part of the drive to Coimbatore.
Lunch
In Coimbatore lunch comes on a banana leaf at an old style meals hotel, and the van parks outside the crowded centre. The city sits at about 427 m and is known for the taste of its Siruvani water, so refill bottles. The Perur Patteeswarar temple, one of the city's two main temples, suits elders on a free day. Allow about 50 minutes; after lunch NH83 leads east to Palani, about 105 km.
Palani break
Palani is a good place to break the day, or the night, with elders. The Murugan temple on the hill has a winch and a rope car, so elders need not climb the steps, though the queues can be long. Tonsuring for vows is a big tradition here, and the Idumban shrine stands halfway up. If you go on today, take 25 minutes for tea and buy the panchamirtham prasadam. Theni is about 90 km on.
Theni
Theni is a valley town about 70 km from Madurai, at the foot of the Western Ghats, and the district headquarters. The Urbania stops 20 minutes for the restroom and tea. Summer afternoons are very hot here, close to 39.5 C, so elders should stay in the shade. Mangala Devi Kannagi temple lies about 7 km from Pazhiyankudi in this district, but today the van goes on through Chinnamanur and up the hill road.
Lodge drop
Meghamalai has no town, only estates of tea, spices and coffee and a few forest lodges and panchayat rest houses on top, at about 1,500 m. The Urbania drops the group at the lodge; book it well ahead and share the name, so we check the access. The hills became part of the Meghamalai Tiger Reserve in 2021, joined to the Srivilliputhur grizzled squirrel sanctuary. Evenings are cold, so elders need shawls and warm socks.

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.

Meghamalai is about 455 km from Mysore one way and about 910 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat and Sathyamangalam to Coimbatore, east to Palani, then south to Theni and up from Chinnamanur. Plan about 10.5 to 11 hours with halts; with elders, a night at Palani makes it two easy days.
Just for driving through the night. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 a night.
Yes, on request. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
The 8 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
It has many bends; the Urbania is gentle and we go slowly.
Tolls, parking, the permit and GST.
The plains part is hot in summer. Theni averages about 39.5 C in that season, and the stretch from Palani to Theni has little shade, so the Urbania's AC works hard and elders feel the heat at halts. The hill top at 1,500 m stays cool. In summer we start early, keep halts short in the afternoon and reach the hill before evening.
It is about nine hours with halts, which is long for elders. We suggest a night at Palani, about 310 km from Mysore, where there are many rooms; the second morning is only about 145 km to Meghamalai. The Urbania's high roof and legroom help, and the driver stops whenever an elder needs a break on the plains.
