Home pickup
We collect the family at 6 am from one or two homes in Mysuru, with bags loaded behind the last row and a day bag for each child. Nelliyampathy is about six hours away with halts. If you travel during Dasara, in September or October, the city is packed for ten days and the palace area has diversions, so we may ask you to come to a pickup point on the ring road side. The van leaves by the Nanjangud road for Chamarajanagar, where the family breakfast is planned.
Breakfast and fuel
Chamarajanagar is breakfast and fuel, about 60 km from Mysore. A van of 12 or 15 sits together at a main road hotel and the driver parks at the door. The town is linked by rail to Mysore and, with Kollegal, gives the district its name for silk. The Suvarnavathi dam, about 16 km out, makes a picnic on some other weekend. Children should use the restroom now, because after the town the van goes through the forest to Hasanur and down the Dhimbam ghat with no stops.
Ghat and temple
At the bottom of the Dhimbam ghat stands the Bannari Amman temple, of the goddess of rain, and Sathyamangalam comes a short way on. The van halts 15 minutes for tea and the restrooms. The Moyar is one of the rivers that feed the Bhavanisagar reservoir west of the town, and the dam, about 40 m high, opened in 1956. Children who felt queasy on the bends can walk around for a few minutes before the flat run on NH948 to Coimbatore.
Lunch
Coimbatore is lunch for the family. The meals hotels serve idli, dosa, paniyaram and appam at most hours, so children who do not want rice still eat well, and potato rice is a cheap local plate. Keep 45 minutes. If the elders want a temple on the way back, Marudamalai Murugan temple is about 15 km northwest of the city. After lunch the van leaves by Pollachi Road for the south.
Tender coconut
Pollachi is about 40 km from Coimbatore, a market town ringed by coconut groves and paddy. The halt is for tender coconut and the restrooms, 15 minutes. Pollachi trades jaggery, vegetables and cattle, and on market days the roads near the centre are slow, so the van stays on the main road. Topslip and Aliyar dam are to the south in the Anamalai hills. Today the road goes west, into Kerala, for Nenmara.
Last town
Nenmara is the last town before the ghat, a Kerala town in green paddy fields about 40 km from Pollachi. If a child feels sick, stop here for ten minutes, before the bends, rather than on the climb. The ghat begins a few km beyond the town and winds up for about 25 km. The tempo traveller takes it slowly in low gear. Hand out the sweets and the window seats now.
Estate stay
Nelliyampathy has no real town, only estates of tea, coffee and cardamom on the hills, and very few shops. The van takes the family to the estate stay; some estate tracks are rough, so tell us the name in advance and we check whether the tempo traveller can reach the gate. Meals are at the stay, usually Kerala food. The air is cool in the evening, so keep sweaters for the children. The driver stays nearby for the next day's sightseeing.
Is a Mysore to Nelliyampathy tempo traveller right for your family of 12 heading to the Kerala tea hills? The van comes for you at home or at Mysuru Junction, takes the Coimbatore road and climbs the Pothundy ghat before dark. Ask for a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.

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 Mysore to Nelliyampathy distance is about 310 km by road, about 620 km for the return. The tempo traveller goes by Chamarajanagar and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, then by Coimbatore and Pollachi into Kerala, and climbs from Nenmara. A family group takes about 7 to 7.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and two short halts.
Yes. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
It has many bends. Keep a bag ready and stop at Nenmara before the climb.
Tolls, parking, GST and the two state permits.
The 16 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, at Bannari below the Dhimbam ghat. The Bannari Amman temple holds its Kundam festival in Panguni, around March or April, and lakhs of devotees come, so the road near Sathyamangalam gets jammed. Mysore itself is slow during Dasara. If your dates fall on these days, we start earlier and plan the halts away from the temple.
Pack light. Some estate roads are rough, and the last part to a stay may be on foot or by the estate's jeep, so soft bags that one person can carry work best. Keep sweaters, torches and medicines in a small bag, because Nelliyampathy has very few shops. Big suitcases fit in the van, but they are hard to move on estate paths.
