Pickup at your door
The car calls at your gate, a palace area hotel, Mysore Junction, the suburban bus stand or Mandakalli airport, wherever suits. If you want to carry gifts to Kerala, Mysore silk sarees, sandalwood carvings and incense are the city's own, and the KSIC outlet on Manandavadi Road sells sarees woven in its factory; buy them the day before. The cab leaves at 6:30 on the Nanjangud road and turns for Chamarajanagar. Palakkad is about 265 km, roughly five hours by car with halts.
Tea and fuel
Chamarajanagar, 60 km on, is a ten minute halt for tea, fuel and the restroom. Beyond this town the cab enters about 80 km of reserve forest and the Dhimbam ghat, with Hasanur in the middle and no safe stop till Bannari, so everyone should use the halt. The town has a railway station on the Mysore line, and the Chamarajeshwara temple stands in its centre. For a Kerala trip the day's real breakfast is planned below the ghat, at Sathyamangalam.
Breakfast
Sathyamangalam, 140 km from Mysore, is the breakfast stop once the forest and the 27 hairpins are behind you. The hotels on NH948 serve Tamil breakfast with strong filter coffee in about twenty minutes. The town lies on the Bhavani, and the Sathyamangalam tiger reserve, the largest sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, begins right at its edge. In a car you can be back on the road quickly; Coimbatore is 70 km on, and Palakkad about 6 to 6.5 hours after that.
Tea break
Coimbatore, 210 km into the trip, is a quick tea halt. The driver takes the NH544 bypass from Neelambur round to Madukkarai, about 28 km, so the car never enters the busy centre. If you are hungry, potato rice is the cheap local lunch, sold in small messes. From Madukkarai it is only about 28 km to Walayar, the Kerala border, and then a short run into Palakkad, so keep the halt short. Palakkad is still about 55 km past Coimbatore by car.
Kerala border
Walayar is the border town on NH544 where most vehicles from other states enter Kerala. The cab stops briefly at the motor vehicles check post while the driver shows its papers. Beside the highway is the Jayaprakash Narayan Smrithivanam, a deer park of about 110 acres, mostly teak, started in 1997; from the car you see the trees. The road on to Palakkad is four lane with service roads, and the town is about 15 km ahead.
Drop in town
The car stops at your hotel or home in Palakkad roughly 6 to 6.5 hours after the Mysore pickup. The city spreads along the north bank of the Bharathappuzha, with the Kalpathy and Kannadi rivers running through it. Palakkadan Matta, the red parboiled rice grown only in this district, is worth carrying home, along with the kondattam and murukku made from it. If anyone continues by train, Palakkad Junction lies at Olavakkode, a short drive from the municipal stand.

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.

Palakkad is about 265 km from Mysore one way, so about 530 km there and back. The cab goes via Chamarajanagar, the Hasanur forest and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, then Coimbatore and the Walayar border. Plan on about 6 to 6.5 hours by car with breakfast and two short halts.
Yes. At each place the driver waits, and local km are billed at the same rate.
It can be done. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
An Innova Crysta. All our cars are on cab rental in Mysore. Six people and their bags fit.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra on every cab trip. Plus the Kerala entry permit for the car.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. It is shown in the quote. Expect ₹400 a night.
It can be. The Kalpathy Ratholsavam, the temple chariot festival of the old Kalpathy agraharam, is held in the month of Thulam, around November, and the chariots roll through the streets for several days. Traffic near Kalpathy slows on those days. The cab can drop you on the other side of town and avoid the area if you are not visiting.
Only part of the way. The road back crosses the Sathyamangalam reserve and the Dhimbam ghat, where night traffic has been restricted and wildlife is hit by vehicles. If you leave Palakkad after lunch, you are through the forest before dark. For a late start, the cab can halt the night in Coimbatore or Sathyamangalam and finish next morning.
