Group pickup
We fix one or two boarding points for the mini bus, perhaps the station and then a lodge near the palace, or homes on one side of the city. Departure at 6. If the date falls in Dasara, in September or October, the crowds and police diversions slow every exit, so we bring the start forward and read the Mysore traffic advisory first. NH766 is reached from the ring road on the south side. Palakkad is about 265 km away, nearly six hours with three halts.
Quick break
Chamarajanagar at 60 km is the last Karnataka town, where the mini bus tops up diesel and the group has tea. The Suvarnavathi dam lies about 16 km outside town, not on today's route but a good picnic for another trip. Give everyone twenty minutes and one place to meet. Next comes the long reserve stretch on NH948, then the 27 hairpins of the Dhimbam ghat, together about 80 km without a safe halt, so restrooms come first.
First proper break
At the 140 km mark, after the forest and the ghat, Sathyamangalam gives the group its breakfast. Order a set plate for twenty and settle one bill, which saves a lot of waiting. Buses from the town leave often for Coimbatore, Erode and Tiruppur, useful if one person has to go ahead. Our mini bus waits near the bus stand on NH948. Coimbatore is about 70 km further, and Palakkad is roughly two and a half hours from here.
Tea and restrooms
Twenty minutes at Coimbatore, 210 km along, give the group tea and a restroom on the bypass. Kaalaan, fried mushroom in a spicy gravy, is the local street snack if anyone wants to try it. The city's main roads fan out as Avinashi, Trichy, Sathy, Mettupalayam and Pollachi Roads, but the mini bus keeps to the bypass towards Madukkarai. The state line at Walayar is under half an hour ahead. Palakkad is 55 km of road from Coimbatore for the group.
Permit check
Walayar, 250 km out, is where the mini bus enters Kerala and stops at the motor vehicles post. Kerala's levy on tourist vehicles registered in other states has gone back and forth for years, and a 2022 High Court ruling allowed it, so our driver confirms the rule in force before the trip and keeps the receipts ready. The group can stretch legs for a few minutes. Palakkad is about 15 km on, on the widened four lane highway.
Group drop
About six hours after leaving Mysore the mini bus reaches Palakkad and stops at the hotel, hall or college gate. NH966 to Kozhikode branches off NH544 at Chandranagar here, and SH52 runs to Pollachi, if the plan continues beyond the town. Palakkadan Matta, the GI tagged red rice of the district, is used for kanji, so ask for it at a local meal. The bus then parks on a main road close to your stay.
Need a Mysore to Palakkad mini bus for 15 to 25 people for Palakkad town and Malampuzha? Palakkad (Palghat) is about 265 km from Mysuru via Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore. One mini bus, one driver who knows the halts. For Palakkad we pick up from a Nazarbad hotel or a hotel by the palace. We have operated mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009.
Route | One way | Palakkad and back | Time by mini bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Palakkad via Chamarajanagar, Coimbatore and Walayar | About 265 km | About 530 km | About 6 hr with stops |
There and back is roughly 530 km. AC and non-AC available. Fuel, AC and the driver come with the rate. Driver allowance is ₹600 to ₹700 per day; parking, tolls, permits and GST are at actual. A two-day Mysore to Palakkad trip fits this plan well. Over 2 days it is billed as 600 km, because the minimum is 300 km a day. One way is quoted when you ask.

Keep one spare seat over the head count. 15 or 16 people: 16 seater mini bus. 19 or 20 people: 20 seater mini bus. 25 or fewer: 25 seater mini bus.
Fewer than 13 going to Palakkad? The Mysore to Palakkad tempo traveller costs less. More than 25? Book the Mysore to Palakkad bus; all sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.

The Mysore to Palakkad distance is about 265 km by road, or about 530 km both ways. The mini bus takes the Chamarajanagar road, the Hasanur forest and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, then Coimbatore and Walayar. With breakfast and two halts it takes about 6 hours.
Night traffic on the Dhimbam ghat after Sathyamangalam is restricted, so we cross it by day.
Yes, on request. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
No. The Kerala entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too. On the Palakkad trip, GST, tolls and parking are added at actual, with receipts.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits, bags included. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. The mini bus night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, near Bannari. The Kundam festival at the Bannari Amman temple, at the foot of the Dhimbam ghat, falls in Panguni, around March and April, and lakhs of devotees come. NH948 near the temple is jammed on the main days. We leave Mysore earlier then and skip any halt at Bannari, so the delay stays small.
Yes, if they sit in the front or middle rows. The Dhimbam ghat has 27 hairpin bends, and the mini bus takes them slowly in low gear. Elders should use the restroom at Chamarajanagar, because there is no stop for about 80 km. A light breakfast after the ghat, at Sathyamangalam, suits them better than a heavy one before it.
