Group pickup
We board everyone at a single point at five; the diesel tank was filled the night before. Anyone coming in by train can use the prepaid auto booth at the station to reach the pickup without haggling. Twenty people with small bags fit comfortably, and a carton of snacks and two water cans ride in the rear, because the Jain village has almost no shops. Count on roughly eight and a half hours on the road, breaks included.
Breakfast
At Channapatna the driver swings off the expressway, which skirts the town, and stops at a spacious hotel on the old highway for the group's breakfast. If people finish quickly, some workshops let visitors watch the wood being cut, turned on a lathe and polished with lac. Half an hour in all. The coordinator checks that all twenty are back on board, and the mini bus rejoins the six lane road for NICE Road.
Permit and tea
Near Hosur the mini bus clears the Tamil Nadu border tax, and the group has tea in a hotel yard. Hosur is linked to the city by frequent trains and to Tamil Nadu towns by state buses, useful if anyone must leave early. A Jain temple about 19 km from Hosur draws pilgrims, a thought for a group on a Jain circuit. Fifteen minutes. Count heads before boarding, as the yard is busy with lorries.
Tea halt
Tea at Krishnagiri on the highway side, then the mini bus leaves NH44 for NH77 towards Tiruvannamalai. The town's government museum on Gandhi Road displays local finds. Around Santhur village nearby, about 150 nurseries sell mango saplings, a buy for anyone with a farm. Fifteen minutes and a head count before the quieter road east. The town sits under rocky hills with an old fort on top. Fruit stalls along the road sell mangoes in season, worth a crate for the group.
Group lunch
Lunch for twenty is reserved at Tiruvannamalai. Lanes around the temple are too tight for the mini bus, so it unloads near the central bus stand and the group walks a few minutes to a vegetarian hotel. Karthigai Deepam, in November or December, pulls the biggest crowd of the year here, and a group should pick other dates. Keep forty five minutes, then meet back at the bus for the last 35 km to Gingee.
Tea and fruit
Gingee, with its walled hills beside the road, is the tea halt before the village. The mini bus pulls in on the main road, and the group stocks up on fruit and drinking water, because Mel Sittamoor sells very little. Puducherry is not far from here, and Chennai lies about 160 km to the north east. The bus then leaves the highway for a smaller road east; the village is about 10 km on. Check that all twenty are aboard.
Drop at the village
Mel Sittamoor is about eight and a half hours from Mysore by mini bus. The bus drops the group at the gate and waits in the open ground nearby. The village is the seat of the Bhattaraka of the Tamil Jains, so dress modestly and keep voices low. Few shops, so carry snacks. Tindivanam, about 20 km away, has hotels for a group of twenty. Agree a return time before the group walks in.

Pickup is from a college or office gate or hotels around the palace. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore; we have run it since 2009. You may see Mel Sittamoor signed as Melsithamur.

Mel Sittamoor is about 390 km from Mysore, so about 780 km there and back. The mini bus takes the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, NH77 through Tiruvannamalai to Gingee and the village road east. With twenty people, plan on about eight and a half hours by mini bus.
A one way drop to Mel Sittamoor is priced on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
The 25 seater, with bag space. Here it works out to ₹34,500 for 900 km at ₹36/km, with ₹2,100 driver's allowance. Each size and rate is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
If the Mel Sittamoor mini bus runs past 10 pm, the night bata is ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
On the 390 km road to Mel Sittamoor, tolls, parking, state permits and GST are added at cost.
Yes. Gingee is about 15 km before Mel Sittamoor. The climb takes two to three hours, so do it early.
Yes. April to June is very hot on the Tiruvannamalai plains, and October to December brings heavy rain. The Karthigai Deepam festival at Tiruvannamalai in November or December fills the road with pilgrims. January and February are the easiest months for a group.
We suggest a night halt instead. The return is about 390 km, and leaving the village in the evening means a tired group and driver on NH77 at night. A night at Tiruvannamalai or Tindivanam and an early start reach Mysore by evening the next day.
