City pickup
The bus picks up the group of 26 to 50 at 5:30 am from one gate, a temple, school or kalyana mantapa with space for a coach. Bags go in the hold. Pilgrim groups often return late, so note that shops and most restaurants in Mysore close before 10 pm; eat dinner on the road if the bus will be back after that. The bus heads south by Nanjangud, with breakfast at Chamarajanagar.
Before the forest
Chamarajanagar is the breakfast halt, at a large hotel with a yard for the coach. Forty people eat in about 30 minutes if the order goes in on arrival. The town is the head of Karnataka's southern district and, with Kollegal, known for silk. The Chamarajeshwara temple is in the centre for those who want a quick darshan. Restrooms in turns, then into the forest towards Hasanur. The coordinator should count heads before the coach leaves the yard.
Sathy
The coach comes down the Dhimbam ghat in low gear through the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu's largest wildlife sanctuary. Heavy trucks of 16.2 tonnes and more are barred from this ghat, but a tourist bus is allowed. Sathyamangalam is a 15 minute tea halt, with a head count, at a hotel on the highway. Then the bus turns east for Gobichettipalayam. The fields here are wet paddy on both banks of the Bhavani river.
Gobi
Gobichettipalayam is a green town of canals, paddy and banana, on SH15 between Sathy and Erode. The coach stops on the highway side, not in the narrow town roads. The Kodiveri dam on the Bhavani, about 10 km from Gobi, is a pleasant 15 minute halt for a group if time allows; otherwise the bus drives on to Dharapuram for lunch. Buy bananas from the groves for the group; they are cheap and fresh here.
Dharapuram
The coach breaks for lunch at Dharapuram, a market town on the Amaravathi, roughly 35 km short of Palani. The driver picks a meals hotel with a yard, as lorries thunder through on SH21 between Pollachi and Karur. Forty pilgrims eat in about 40 minutes if the count is phoned ahead. Two shrines, Agatheeswarar and Kaadu Hanumanthasamy, are in the town for anyone who wants a look. Outside October and November, when most rain falls, the plains are hot, so the water cans get filled here. The town lies on SH21, which runs from Pollachi to Karur.
Arrive
Palani is reached in about seven hours. The coach drops the group at a pilgrim hotel with bus parking, as the streets near the hill are crowded. More than 7 million pilgrims come every year, so book rooms for a group early, and very early for Thai Poosam. Keep footwear simple and dress modestly for the temple. Panchamirtham is the prasadam to buy. The driver parks the bus at the hotel.

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.

Palani is about 285 km from Mysore by road, about 570 km there and back. The bus goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Gobichettipalayam and Dharapuram. A full bus takes about 7 hours with breakfast, lunch and a tea halt. Start at 5:30 am to reach Palani by early afternoon.
On the 285 km road to Palani, parking, tolls, permits and GST are added at actuals.
A one way drop to Palani is priced on request, ₹2 a km above the return rate.
If the Palani bus runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size.
Buses park on the outskirts in festival weeks; the group walks in.
Below 35 to Palani, the 33 or 35 seater; near 40, the 40 seater; 45 to 50, a 45, 49 or 50 seater. See the sizes on bus on rent in Mysore.
The dry months outside the rains and the festivals. The Dharapuram and Palani side gets most of its rain in October and November, and the Dhimbam ghat is slow when wet. Thai Poosam in January or February and the Kundam festival at Bannari in March or April bring huge crowds. Any dry weekday away from these is easiest for a full coach.
We do not run it that way. A night start would take the coach through the Hasanur forest and down the Dhimbam ghat in the dark, where night traffic has been banned in the past and elephants cross. Leaving at 5:30 am still puts the group in Palani by early afternoon, with time for darshan before the hill closes for the day.
