Group pickup
By 5:30 am the van is waiting at the group's chosen meeting point in Mysuru, and bags are stacked at the back. Hand round Mysore bonda with chutney if anyone is hungry before breakfast. We leave south east by the T Narasipura road. Namakkal lies about 280 km off, and the MM Hills forest sits in the middle of the route, so crossing it in the morning keeps the day easy and leaves the evening free for darshan.
Temple halt
Pilgrims in the van often ask for fifteen minutes at T Narasipura, roughly 30 km along, for the temples by the river. Older than the confluence shrine, the Agasthyeshwara temple stands inside the town, and both temples celebrate one jatra together each year. Paddy is the staple crop of the taluk, with silk grown for cash. Talakadu, around 15 km away, is a separate outing. Kollegal comes next, roughly 30 km down the river road.
Breakfast halt
Half an hour at Kollegal, around 60 km into the trip, covers breakfast for everyone. The town sits between roughly 590 and 660 m, part of Chamarajanagar district, and lives on handloom silk; officials have even suggested a Kollegal brand to stand beside Mysore silk. Yelandur and the BR Hills road branch off nearby, 25 to 30 km away. Leaving town, the van climbs SH 79 towards Hanur, with the hill forest ahead.
Tea and fuel
Fill the tank and drink tea at Hanur, near 85 km out, because the forest follows. Pilgrim buses for MM Hills pass through all day, so the bazaar is lively. The hill temple itself is some 55 km away, but our road skirts the hills by Talabetta and drops to Palar on the border. At night, anything heavier than six wheels is turned back on the forest road, which is reason enough to cross before evening.
Dam break
Twenty minutes beside the Mettur dam, around 175 km from home, feels good after the forest. Water stored here, in the Stanley Reservoir, is let out each June for the farms of the Kaveri delta. In late July or early August, Aadi Perukku draws families to the riverbank. Short boat trips start at Nerinjipettai, roughly 4 km off, below the Palamalai hills. Salem lies about 50 km further, on a flat and busy road.
Lunch halt
Lunch for the group comes in Salem, about 225 km along; forty five minutes is enough. Weaving is big business here, with tens of thousands of handlooms, and both Salem silk and Salem fabric hold GI tags. Sago made from tapioca also comes from this district. Children may enjoy the Kurumbapatti zoo, roughly 12 km from the bus stand, on the way back. From the city the van takes NH44 for the last 55 km.
Arrival
Six and a half hours and some 280 km after leaving Mysore, the van pulls up near the group's hotel in Namakkal. Across the street from the Narasimha shrine, the 18 ft Anjaneyar faces the god he serves, and the group can walk there together. Inside the same complex is the Namagiri Amman shrine. Anyone flying home can use Salem airport, around 52 km away. In March and April the chariot festival makes the town very busy.
Going to Namakkal with 9 to 20 devotees or relatives? A Mysore to Namakkal tempo traveller keeps the group together through Kollegal, Mettur and Salem. Hire a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

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. 👍

The road distance is about 280 km each way, around 560 km in total, via Kollegal, Hanur, the forest to Palar, Mettur and Salem. A tempo traveller takes about six and a half hours with breakfast, tea at Mettur and lunch at Salem.
Namakkal is billed as 2 days, 600 km: 12 seater ₹15,600 (₹24/km). Add the driver allowance of ₹600 a day, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST.
The 17 seater, with bags behind the last row. The full list is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
It is. We add ₹2 a km to the return rate for a one way booking and send you the full amount in writing.
Yes, slowly. The hill road has many hairpins; plan an extra day.
Yes. MM Hills is in Hanur taluk, on the way; plan an extra half day for the hill temple.
November to February is the most comfortable, with mild days. April is the hottest month on the Salem side, so plan darshan early in the morning. The temple car festival in March and April and Aadi Perukku in late July or August bring large crowds.
In a 17 seater, one small bag each fits behind the last row, with pooja items at the seats. For a two day trip one bag per person is enough. If the group adds Kolli Hills or Trichy, the 20 seater gives more room.
