Pickup at your door
Your cab arrives at 6 am anywhere in Mysuru and leaves by the T Narasipura road, passing Varuna about 13 km out. Namakkal is about 280 km away, through the MM Hills forest and the Tamil Nadu plains, so an early start keeps the forest in daylight. Families visiting the Anjaneyar temple often carry tulsi or betel garlands; Mysore betel leaves are known by the city's name and are easy to buy the evening before. Water and snacks travel in the car.
River town
Three streams meet at Tirumakudalu, which gives T Narasipura, some 30 km out, its name and its fame as a Triveni Sangama. The Gunja Narasimha Swamy temple, named for the gunja tree at its gate, stands right at the confluence. A short stop is easy if the family wants darshan. Every three years a Kumbh Mela brings lakhs of bathers, and on those days the town is packed. Kollegal is roughly 30 km ahead.
Breakfast in silk town
Silk weavers have made Kollegal, about 60 km from Mysore, famous; pit looms here still turn out handloom sarees. The cab stops thirty minutes for breakfast. Summers are hot in this low country, so drive the forest stretch early. From here the road to MM Hills runs through Kamagere, Hanur and Kowdalli on SH 79. Gundal dam lies about 15 km away, and Shivanasamudra's Bharachukki falls are on this side of the river, both for other trips.
Last town before the forest
Hanur, around 85 km out, is the taluk town for MM Hills, and the cab halts ten minutes for tea and fuel. Beyond Kowdalli the road climbs to Talabetta at the foot of the hills and then crosses the forest to Palar on the Tamil Nadu border. Lorries with more than six wheels are kept off that stretch at night, so the road is quiet. On MM Hills festival days, especially in March, traffic thickens badly near Kowdalli.
Dam stop
Out of the forest, the cab reaches Mettur, about 175 km from Mysore, a power and aluminium town built around the great dam. Finished in 1934, Mettur Dam holds back the Kaveri as it enters the plains, about 1,700 m long. Twenty minutes allows tea and a look from the park at its foot. When the reservoir runs low, the ruins of drowned villages appear above the water. Salem is about 50 km on.
Lunch in Salem
Lunch is in Salem, roughly 225 km out; forty five minutes. Try thattu vadai set, the street snack this city invented, or biryani with chicken varuval. In season, Salem mangoes are worth buying. NH44 runs through the city, and here the Madurai traffic separates from the Coimbatore and Kerala traffic. Yercaud hill station is about 20 km above the city if you add it on the way home. Namakkal is about 55 km south.
Temple town arrival
After about six hours and close to 280 km, the cab reaches Namakkal and drops you at your hotel or near the temple street. The Anjaneyar here, about 18 ft tall, stands in the open, and the cab gets close through the lanes. Above the town, a fort sits on a single rock about 75 m high, reached on foot. The town is known as Egg City and as a lorry transport centre. Karur is about 34 km south.
Planning darshan at the Namakkal Anjaneyar temple? A Mysore to Namakkal cab takes the Kollegal road, the MM Hills forest and Mettur, about 280 km. Book with cab rental in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels; the driver picks you up at home.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Namakkal is about 280 km from Mysore one way, about 560 km for the round trip, by T Narasipura, Kollegal, Hanur, the MM Hills forest, Mettur and Salem. A cab takes about 6.5 to 7 hours with breakfast at Kollegal and lunch at Salem. Cross the forest in daylight.
At 600 km for 2 days: Dzire ₹8,000 Etios ₹9,200 Innova ₹11,600 Innova Crysta ₹12,800. On top come ₹400 a day for the driver, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST.
It can be booked. Add ₹2 a km to the round trip rate, and we confirm the km and the total in writing before the trip.
The Innova Crysta seats six with bags. Cars and rates are on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. It is on the route; a short stop at the park is part of the plan.
Yes. It is arranged for your dates and charged at actual with the tolls.
Lorries with more than six wheels are barred at night between Talabetta and Palar, and a full night ban through the sanctuaries has been proposed. We plan the forest crossing in daylight for safety, as animals use the road. Leave Mysore by 6 am and the forest is behind you by late morning.
At about 560 km it is a very long day for one driver and a family. Most families stay a night, have morning darshan when it is cooler, and drive back after breakfast. The forest stretch should be crossed before evening on the return.
