Pickup in Mysuru
We start at 5:30 am from your door, your guest house or the railway station, wherever the group gathers in Mysuru. The Urbania suits 8 to 16 people with room for overnight bags. Mysore's shops put their shutters down well before ten at night, so a family wanting saris or sandalwood on the homeward day should be back by dinner time. The route runs south by Nanjangud and Gundlupet, then through Bandipur to Theppakadu, 95 km in all.
Tea stop
Nanjangud, 25 km out, is a tea stop for the Urbania. Watch for the old Kabini crossing that carries both trains and traffic; it dates from 1735 and is now listed for protection. The town itself sits on the river, with the large Srikanteshwara temple at its centre. Fifteen minutes is enough for tea and the restroom. Breakfast comes at Gundlupet, so keep it light here. The temple opens around 6 am if anyone wants darshan.
Breakfast stop
Breakfast is at Gundlupet, sixty km on. In the rainy months the land round the town flushes yellow and orange with sunflower and marigold crops, and growers will usually allow pictures among the rows if you pay a little and leave the blooms alone. Allow twenty five minutes for the meal at the roadside cafes while the tank is filled. Elders should use the restroom here, because the next 35 km runs through two forests where no vehicle may stop.
Forest stretch
Bandipur starts some 80 km from home; its ground climbs from about 680 m to above 1,450 m, held between two rivers, the Kabini and the Moyar. The Urbania drives through without a halt, as the rules require, and passengers watch from the windows for deer, gaur or elephants. The ride is smooth on this stretch, which suits elders. At the state border, about 15 km on, the forest becomes Mudumalai, and the road drops gently to Theppakadu.
Theppakadu arrival
The Urbania reaches Theppakadu about two hours after leaving Mysore. Mudumalai gets most of its 1,420 mm of rain from June to September; December and January are the coolest months, and April to June the hottest, so pack for the season. We drop the group at the reception centre or at the resort. The vehicle waits close by. For the trip home, we leave in time to cross Bandipur before it closes at 9 pm.
Need a Mysore to Mudumalai Force Urbania for 8 to 16 people, maybe seniors who want a quiet forest drive? It is smooth on the highway and calm through the forest. We arrange Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with a driver at 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.

It is about 95 km from Mysore to Theppakadu in Mudumalai, so about 190 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by NH 766 through Nanjangud and Gundlupet and then on NH 181 across Bandipur. Allow about two hours, counting tea and breakfast. The Bandipur stretch is closed to traffic from 9 pm to 6 am.
Yes, Mudumalai one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, on paper.
Past 10 pm on the Mudumalai trip, the driver gets a night bata of ₹700 a night.
For Mudumalai, 95 km each way, tolls, parking, permits and GST are billed at actuals.
Mudumalai: the 10 seater, or the 12 seater with big suitcases. Each size and rate is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes. Ask for front seats. The forest bus is easy to board.
From June to September, when the park gets most of its 1,420 mm of rain. The forest is lush then, but thick cover makes animals harder to see, and Nilgiri ghat roads can have landslips after heavy rain. The dry months, February to May, thin the forest out and bring animals to water. December and January are cool and pleasant for an Urbania group.
No. Night safaris are illegal in this area, and forest range officers have fined operators since 2016. Jeep safaris run only in forest department registered jeeps, roughly 6 am to 5:30 pm, under court directions. Anyone offering a night drive is breaking the rules. Plan an early morning or late afternoon slot, and keep the evening for the resort.
