Group pickup
At 5:30 am the van is waiting at the agreed meeting point in Mysuru, maybe a relative's home or Mysore Junction, and bags go behind the last row. Winter mornings can be surprisingly cold here, close to 8 C in December, so keep a sweater handy until the sun is up. The van leaves on NH766 for Nanjangud. Mettupalayam is about 190 km away. The early start keeps the forest and the ghat in daylight and brings the group in by early afternoon.
Temple halt
Nanjangud, about 25 km from Mysore, is known as the Kashi of the south, and the Srikanteshwara temple ranks among the biggest temple complexes in the state. A twenty minute halt allows a quick darshan; dress modestly. The temple's stone Nandi is about 8 ft tall. Close by, where the Kapila and the Kaundinya meet, is a small shrine to Parashurama, and the road and rail bridge over the Kabini, dated 1735, is protected as a monument. The van then turns away from the Ooty road towards Chamarajanagar.
Breakfast halt
At Chamarajanagar, about 60 km from Mysore, the group stops thirty minutes for breakfast. Trains from Mysore run here, and as the district seat it has hotels that can seat a van load together. Yelandur's Gaurishvara temple, known for chains carved in stone, lies some 20 km towards Kollegal, a separate trip. The road ahead, NH948, runs through forest to the Tamil Nadu border, so use the restrooms here before the van climbs on.
Before the ghat
Hasanur, about 105 km out, is the last stop before the Dhimbam ghat. The village sits inside the Sathyamangalam forest, and the road ahead winds down 27 hairpins to Bannari. Ten minutes lets everyone stretch. Our driver holds the van in a low gear, and the driver keeps windows closed and stops off the road only where it is allowed. Animals have been hit on this highway at night, which is one reason the ghat is better in daylight. Coimbatore and Mettupalayam lie ahead on the plains.
Tea in Sathyamangalam
Sathyamangalam, about 140 km from Mysore, is a busy town on NH948, and tea for everyone takes fifteen minutes here. Right beside the town begins Tamil Nadu's biggest sanctuary, a meeting ground of the Eastern and Western Ghats. Buses for Coimbatore, Erode and Mysore leave all day, which keeps the main road crowded. Bhavanisagar dam, about 16 km west, opened in 1956. Mettupalayam is about 50 km on through farmland along the Bhavani.
Arrival
The van reaches Mettupalayam about five hours after Mysore, close to 190 km, with the group set down at the hotel door. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway to Ooty starts here, so hotels near the station suit a group catching the morning train. The Vana Bhadrakali Amman temple is near the town, and Kallar park lies on the Ooty road. If the group plans to come down by road later, the van can wait at Ooty. Coimbatore, about 35 km away, has trains and flights for anyone leaving early.

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. 👍

By Nanjangud, Chamarajanagar and Sathyamangalam, Mettupalayam is about 190 km from Mysore, close to 380 km both ways. A tempo traveller takes about 5 hours, including a temple halt at Nanjangud, breakfast at Chamarajanagar and the slow drive down the 27 hairpins of the Dhimbam ghat.
12 seater ₹15,600 (₹24/km), for 2 days and 600 km. The driver gets ₹600 a day, and tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are charged separately.
The 16 seater, with bags behind the last row. You can check every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes. The driver uses a low gear on the 27 hairpins and takes it slowly.
Yes. The one way price is the return rate plus ₹2 a km, with the run home already counted, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Extra days are billed at 300 km each with the driver allowance; tell us the plan and we quote it.
October to March is pleasant on the plains and cool up in the Nilgiris. The monsoon months can bring landslips on the Nilgiri line and slow the Dhimbam ghat. Summer weekends and holidays are crowded on the train, so book seats well in advance whatever the month.
Keep one small bag each for the train and leave the big bags in the tempo traveller, which can drive up to Ooty and meet you. The train coaches are narrow and space for bags is limited. Medicines, water and a jacket should go in the small bag, as Ooty is cold.
