Hotel pickup
The Urbania collects the group at 6:30 am from your hotel or home in Mysuru. Luggage goes in the rear space, and each person keeps a light jacket in a hand bag for the hills. If the group wants Mysore shopping when it comes back, plan to reach the city early, because shops and most restaurants close before 10 pm. The van takes the Nanjangud road for Chamarajanagar and the Tamil Nadu border; Nelliyampathy is about six hours away with halts.

Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt, the main town of Karnataka's southernmost district. The Urbania parks at a main road hotel, and a group of 10 or 12 eats together in about 20 minutes. From here a forest road of about 40 km runs to BR Hills through K Gudi, another trip altogether. Elders should use the restroom before leaving, because the road through Hasanur and down the Dhimbam ghat has no halts for a long while.

Forest descent
Sathyamangalam is where the forest ends. The tiger reserve behind you covers about 1,408 sq km, the largest wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, and the ghat runs through it. The Urbania stops 15 minutes for the restroom and tea at a highway hotel. Frequent buses use this town, so the driver keeps out of the bus stand road. From here NH948 runs about 70 km through farmland to Coimbatore. Elders who want darshan can see the Bannari Amman temple at the foot of the ghat on the way back instead.

Lunch
Coimbatore is lunch. A banana leaf meal is the old local way, and the larger hotels seat the whole group together. Perur Patteeswarar is one of the city's two main temples, a short visit for elders on the return day. The city's Mariamman temple festivals are the big events of summer, so the streets are busier then. Keep about 50 minutes. The Urbania leaves by Pollachi Road. Order the meals as soon as the group sits, so the Urbania is moving again before the afternoon heat sets in on the plains.

Coconut stop
Pollachi is a coconut and paddy town about 40 km south of Coimbatore. It is a big market for jaggery and vegetables, and the fields around it look familiar because so many films are shot here. A ten minute halt covers tender coconut and the restroom. Valparai is about 65 km up the hills from here, but the Urbania turns west for Kerala and Nenmara. Most of the area's rain comes in the southwest monsoon, so the paddy is at its greenest after it.

Foot of the ghat
Nenmara is a Kerala town among paddy fields, about 40 km from Pollachi, and the foot of the climb. The Urbania usually drives through, but if an elder needs a break before the bends, this is the place for it. The ghat starts a few km beyond the town and winds up for about 25 km. Elders sit in the front rows, where the bends are felt less. Keep the window shades half drawn on the climb if anyone is sensitive to the light flicker through the trees.

Estate stay
Nelliyampathy is a hill area of tea, coffee and cardamom estates, with few shops and quiet roads. The Urbania drops the group at the estate stay. Some estate roads are rough, so share the stay's name early and we confirm the van can reach it; if not, the stay sends a jeep for the last bit. Meals are at the stay. Evenings are cool, so elders should keep a shawl. The driver stays nearby.

Nelliyampathy is about 310 km from Mysore, about 620 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat and Sathyamangalam to Coimbatore, then south through Pollachi and into Kerala at Nenmara, where the climb starts. Plan about 7 to 7.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and short halts.

No. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹700.
Yes. The Urbania is softer on bends than most vans.
Yes, on request. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
Yes, but it is slower. The southwest monsoon brings most of Pollachi's rain, and Coimbatore gets more in October and early November. The Dhimbam ghat and the Nelliyampathy climb are wet then, and the driver takes the bends with extra care. We keep both hill roads for daylight and add time to the plan in those months.
Yes. The Urbania stops at Chamarajanagar for breakfast, Sathyamangalam for the restroom, Coimbatore for lunch and Pollachi for a short break, about every 70 km. The one long gap is the forest between Chamarajanagar and Bannari, so elders should use the restroom before it. Ask for a halt at Nenmara if anyone needs it before the last climb.
