Home pickup
The Urbania collects you at half past five; elders take the captain seats and can rest while the van covers the expressway. For a temple trip with elders, check the dates against Dasara in September or October, when the city is crowded and diversions slow every exit. The drive is about eight hours with halts. Carry snacks and water for the day, as the village at the end has very few shops.
Breakfast
At Channapatna the Urbania comes off the expressway and parks at the door of a breakfast hotel on the old highway, so elders step down easily. The town's artisan cooperative shops sell wooden toys and lacquered kitchen items straight from the makers. Twenty five minutes with restrooms. The town stands on the Kanva river, and SH 94 meets the main road here. Then back to the expressway. The driver uses the halt to check the tyres and water.
Border check
The Urbania pauses near Hosur at the Tamil Nadu border while the driver settles the permit, and elders use a clean restroom at a highway hotel. Dakshina Tirupati temple stands near the highway on the edge of the Sanamavu forest, if anyone wants a short darshan. January is the coolest month here. Fifteen minutes, then about 50 km on NH44 to Krishnagiri. Elders who feel stiff can take a short walk in the hotel compound before boarding.
Short break
Krishnagiri is a short break; elders may stay seated in the cool van while others buy mangoes. A Jain tirth, the Shree Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet, stands near the highway, a fitting stop on a Jain pilgrimage if time allows. The Urbania then takes NH77 east towards Tiruvannamalai. Expect slow traffic where the highway is being widened. The town is ringed by bare rocky hills with an old Vijayanagara fort on the summit, a fine view from the window for elders who stay seated.
Lunch
Lunch is at Tiruvannamalai, at a quiet vegetarian restaurant. The town is hottest from April to June, so elders should rest indoors after the meal. The ashram of Ramana Maharshi lies at the foot of the Arunachala hill and has shaded corners to sit. NH77 and NH38 both pass through, so the driver avoids the busy central streets. About 35 km remain to Gingee. Ask the restaurant for a table near the entrance for anyone with a walking stick.
Tea stop
Gingee is a tea stop by the road, with the fort hills in view from the van, so elders can enjoy them without a climb. Tea and simple meals are sold in town. Gingee is about 160 km from Chennai. The Urbania turns east here, and Mel Sittamoor is only about 10 km away, a gentle village road. Buy fruit and water now for the evening. The driver keeps the AC running while the group has tea.
Drop at your stay
About eight hours of driving, with halts, bring the Urbania to Mel Sittamoor. The van drops elders at the stay and the driver helps with bags. The village is the seat of the Bhattaraka, head of the Tamil Jain temples, and visitors are expected to dress modestly and keep quiet. Shops are few, so carry snacks. Tindivanam, about 20 km off, is the nearest bigger town for hotels. Keep a torch handy for the evening.

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.

Mel Sittamoor is about 390 km from Mysore, or about 780 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH77 through Tiruvannamalai to Gingee, then east to the village. Plan on about eight hours by Urbania.
We quote Mel Sittamoor one way drops on request; the rate is ₹2 a km above a round trip.
The 12 seater. Each size and rate is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Every size is ₹40/km, so this trip is ₹38,100 for 900 km at ₹40/km, plus ₹2,100 driver bata.
For Mel Sittamoor, a return after 10 pm brings the night allowance of ₹700 a night.
No. Mel Sittamoor: on top of the ₹40/km fare come GST, tolls, parking and the Tamil Nadu permit.
We plan breakfast at Hosur. The Urbania parks at the door, so older people walk very little.
December to February. The plains of Tiruvannamalai and Gingee are very hot from April to June, and October to December brings the northeast monsoon rain. In winter the mornings are cool, which suits temple visits, but check the full moon dates at Tiruvannamalai to avoid the crowds.
Stays in the village are simple. Elders are usually more comfortable at Tiruvannamalai, about 50 km back, or at Tindivanam, about 20 km away. The Urbania drives them to the village in the morning and back by afternoon, so they are not out in the heat.
