Gate pickup
Nelliyampathy groups board at 5:30 am, from a gate where a coach can turn round. Luggage goes into the hold; each traveller keeps water and a light jacket on the seat for the cool hill evening. A box of Mysore pak, the city's ghee rich sweet, is a nice thing to share at the estate after dinner. The bus goes out by Nanjangud towards Chamarajanagar. The whole run is about eight hours with halts, and the last part is a climb in Kerala, so the timing is kept tight.
Breakfast for the group
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt for the coach, about 60 km from Mysore. The driver picks a large hotel with parking that can serve 40 in one go. The district is known for silk, with Kollegal, and its sights, BR Hills and MM Hills, are other trips. Keep 40 minutes for breakfast, restrooms and a head count. Diesel goes in here too, since the forest road to Hasanur and the Dhimbam ghat follows.
Forest ghat
The bus comes down the 27 hairpins of the Dhimbam ghat to Bannari in low gear. Traffic on this stretch has been banned at night in the past, with timings that changed several times, so we always plan it for daylight. Sathyamangalam is the restroom stop, 20 minutes at a highway hotel, with a head count. NH948 then runs through farmland to Coimbatore. The forest behind you is the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, where more than 850 elephants have been counted, so nobody gets down until the town.
Lunch in Coimbatore
Coimbatore is the lunch halt for the bus, at a hotel with coach parking outside the centre. Idli and dosa or banana leaf meals come in batches for 40 people. Shopping streets like RS Puram and Cross Cut Road are too crowded for a coach, so keep them for a smaller vehicle. Keep an hour with the head count, then the bus leaves by Pollachi Road. The city's Siruvani water has a good name, so fill the group's water cans while lunch is served.
Short halt
Pollachi is a market town for jaggery, vegetables and cattle, with coconut farms on all sides. The bus stops 15 minutes on the main road for tea and the restrooms, away from the busy market streets. The Masani Amman temple is a main temple of the area. Then the bus turns west into Kerala, towards Nenmara and the hills. Valparai and Topslip lie to the south in the Anamalai hills, separate trips for a coach. Most rain here comes in the southwest monsoon, so the fields are green after July.
Before the climb
Nenmara is the Kerala town at the foot of the climb, among green paddy fields. The bus does not stop here unless someone needs it, because the ghat to Nelliyampathy begins a few km on and the coach needs the daylight. The road climbs about 25 km with tight bends in places, and the driver takes it slowly. Everyone stays seated on the climb. Ask anyone who gets travel sick to take the front seats at Pollachi, before the climb, so the group does not shuffle on the hill.
Hill stay
Nelliyampathy is a hill area of tea, coffee and cardamom estates with very few shops. A full coach keeps to the main road; many estate stays send their jeeps to carry people and bags for the last part, so check this with the stay before booking. Meals are at the stay. The air is cool in the evening, so carry warm clothes. The driver parks the bus on the main road for the night.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Nelliyampathy is about 310 km from Mysore one way and about 620 km for the round trip. The bus goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore and Pollachi, then climbs from Nenmara in Kerala. A full bus takes about 8 hours with breakfast, lunch and halts. Leave Mysore at 5:30 am to finish the climb in daylight.
Yes, slowly and by day. Some estate roads need jeeps.
The 45 seater. See bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, that works. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
We plan the Dhimbam crossing for daylight because of the night closure. Any night driving adds the night bata. For the bus: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night.
Yes. All of them, plus parking, at actual cost.
The dry months after the rains are easiest for a coach. Pollachi and the Kerala side get most of their rain in the southwest monsoon, and the Coimbatore plains get more in October and early November; the ghats are slow and slippery then. Also avoid the Kundam festival at Bannari in March or April, when the road near Sathyamangalam is packed with devotees.
It is a full day, about 8 hours with halts, but it is broken well: breakfast at Chamarajanagar, a restroom stop at Sathyamangalam, lunch in Coimbatore and tea at Pollachi. Seat elders and anyone who gets travel sick in the front rows for the two ghats. Plan the first evening at the stay as rest only, and keep sightseeing for the next morning.
