Pickup at your door
The Urbania comes to your gate in Mysuru at 6 am and takes the Nanjangud road south. On a Tuesday the zoo and Karanji lake are closed, which is worth knowing if you plan a stop in Mysore on the day you return. Mettupalayam is about 190 km away, with the Dhimbam ghat in the middle of the drive. Elders sit in the front rows for a gentler ride on the bends. Water, medicines and snacks stay within reach, as the forest stretch has few stops.
Optional darshan
Nanjangud, roughly 25 km out, is a short and easy temple stop for elders. The Srikanteshwara temple stands on the Kabini bank, and its outer walls hold 122 images of Shiva. The temple is open from early morning, and modest clothes are expected inside. For the trip home, Nanjangud tooth powder makes a curious gift. The Urbania parks close to the temple street, so elders do not walk far. After the halt the road turns for Chamarajanagar.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar, about 60 km from Mysore, is the family's breakfast halt; thirty minutes keeps it relaxed. The district is called Silk City, and the Chamarajeshwara temple with its tall tower is in the town centre. BR Hills is about 40 km away through forest, a good idea for another trip. The Urbania waits near the hotel door. From here the road leaves Karnataka and climbs into the Sathyamangalam forest, so this is the last comfortable restroom for a while.
Ghat pause
At Hasanur, about 105 km from Mysore, the Urbania pauses ten minutes so elders can settle before the descent. The Dhimbam ghat below has 27 hairpins down to Bannari, and the driver takes them slowly. Hasanur lies inside the forest on NH948, the road that links Chamarajanagar with Coimbatore. Heavy trucks with 12 or more wheels are kept off this ghat, so the traffic is lighter than on a highway. Anyone who feels unwell on bends should sit near the front.
Tea after the descent
Sathyamangalam comes at about 140 km, after the ghat, and the Urbania stops fifteen minutes for tea. The Bannari Amman temple, of the goddess of rain, is just before town if elders wish to pray. The Bhavanisagar reservoir, fed partly by the Moyar, lies about 16 km to the west. The town is about 65 km from Erode and has many buses, so the driver parks off the main road. Mettupalayam is about 50 km ahead, an easy flat run.
Arrival
After about five hours and roughly 190 km, the Urbania stops at your hotel in Mettupalayam. The town lies at the foot of the Nilgiris on the Bhavani river, where the toy train to Ooty begins. Elders who want the train ride should book seats early and stay near the station. If you prefer the road, the Ooty and Kotagiri ghats both start here, and the Urbania can take you up next morning. Coimbatore airport is within easy reach for anyone flying home.
Taking the family to Mettupalayam for the Nilgiri train or the Ooty ghat? The Mysore to Mettupalayam Force Urbania gives elders a steady ride down the Dhimbam hairpins. Book a Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

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 distance is about 190 km each way, roughly 380 km in total, through Chamarajanagar, the Sathyamangalam forest and the Dhimbam ghat. The Force Urbania needs about 5 hours with gentle halts for elders, and the ghat is taken slowly.
On 2 days of billing (600 km) it comes to any Urbania size ₹25,400 (₹40/km), plus ₹700 a day for the driver; tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are added.
The 12 seater or 13 seater. See all sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
We hire each Urbania with its driver from partner owners, and Tejas Tours & Travels handles your booking, billing and support.
Yes, by the main ghat road from Mettupalayam, slowly and in daylight. The km are added to the bill.
Yes. A drop only trip costs ₹2 a km more than the round trip rate; the vehicle's run back is counted, so the written quote does not change later.
It has 27 hairpins, so it can be tiring for anyone who gets motion sickness. The Urbania goes slowly, and we stop at Hasanur before the descent. A light breakfast at Chamarajanagar helps. If an elder feels unwell, the driver pulls over at the first safe place after the ghat.
The ride is slow and scenic, but the coaches are compact and the journey up to Ooty takes several hours with few comforts. Elders who tire easily can travel up by road in the Urbania while the rest of the family takes the train, and meet at Ooty.
