Group pickup
The mini bus collects the group at one or two points we agree in advance, such as Mysore Junction and a palace area hotel. If anyone wants breakfast before the road, Mysore eateries open early with akki rotti and uppittu. Leave at 5:30, since the reserve takes its last visitors around 4 pm and the drive is long. The bus heads out on NH766 to Nanjangud and the Chamarajanagar turn. Parambikulam is about 295 km away, around six and a half hours.
Tea before the forest
Chamarajanagar, 60 km from Mysore, is the mini bus tea and diesel halt. The Suvarnavathi dam is about 16 km from the town, a picnic for another day. Ask the group to use the restroom, since the Sathyamangalam forest and the Dhimbam ghat ahead have no safe halt for about 80 km. Count heads before leaving; twenty people spread out quickly at tea stalls. The forest run takes about two hours. Parambikulam is 235 km of road from Chamarajanagar for the group.
Breakfast
Sathyamangalam is the group's breakfast at the 140 km mark. Order a set breakfast for twenty and pay one bill. The town has frequent buses to Coimbatore, Erode and Tiruppur, useful if someone must go ahead. The mini bus waits near the bus stand. Coimbatore is about 70 km on and Pollachi about 110 km, where lunch is planned. Let people stretch and use the restrooms after the hairpins before they sit down to eat; the next long sitting is about an hour and a half.
Tea and restroom
Coimbatore, 210 km from Mysore, is a short tea and restroom stop before the mini bus turns down Pollachi Road. Potato rice is a cheap local dish if anyone is hungry. The city's Siruvani water is known for its taste, so refill the group's bottles. After Coimbatore the road to Pollachi is about 40 km, and then the forest begins. Anyone who forgot a cap, torch or charger should buy it here, because shops thin out quickly after this city.
Lunch
Pollachi, 250 km along, is lunch for the group. The town is a market for jaggery, vegetables and cattle, and the paddy around it is often used for film shooting. Order lunch for twenty ahead to save time. Coimbatore airport is about 48 km back. This is the last town for fuel, water and snacks; Topslip is about 37 km on, past Anamalai, at about 1,400 ft average height. Keep the halt to 45 minutes.
Forest road
Topslip, 285 km out, is the base of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve. The road to Parambikulam passes the Sethumadai check post, so papers are checked and the mini bus moves on slowly. Forest timings at Topslip run about 7 am to 4 pm. Elephants and leopards live here, so nobody steps out except at the official points. Parambikulam is about 10 km ahead. Over 250 kinds of birds are recorded in the reserve, so binoculars are worth carrying.
Group arrival
The mini bus arrives at Parambikulam about 7 to 7.5 hours after Mysore. A group with a stay booked inside goes on to the lodge; day groups usually leave the bus at Anappady and use the reserve's safari vehicles, which the forest office books by the seat. Last entry is around 4 pm. Ask the forest staff before anyone walks off the marked paths, and keep the group together at the counter. The Parambikulam return is also 295 km.
Is a Mysore to Parambikulam mini bus right for your group of twenty, going for the tiger reserve? Parambikulam is about 295 km from Mysuru via Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore and Pollachi. For Parambikulam we pick up from a hotel on JLB Road or Mandakalli airport. We arrange mini bus on rent in Mysore with our own drivers.
Route | One way | Parambikulam and back | Time by mini bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Parambikulam via Chamarajanagar, Coimbatore and Topslip | About 295 km | About 590 km | About 7 to 7.5 hr with stops |
Both ways together, about 590 km. One way drops: ask us. Our rate covers fuel, AC and our driver. Over 2 days it is billed as 600 km, because the minimum is 300 km each day. Driver allowance is ₹600 to ₹700 each day; GST, tolls, parking and permits are at actuals. Both AC and non-AC can be booked. A two-day Mysore to Parambikulam trip fits this plan well.

The Mysore to Parambikulam distance is about 295 km by road, or about 590 km both ways. The mini bus takes the Chamarajanagar road and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore, then Pollachi and Topslip. With breakfast and lunch it takes about 7 to 7.5 hours.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits, bags included. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Entry is controlled at the Topslip check post, and the forest department runs the safari. Book the visit ahead.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are added at actual, receipts shown. The Kerala entry permit for a tourist vehicle is extra too.
Yes. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. The quote lists it. For the mini bus: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
It can. During the ten Dasara days in September or October the city is crowded and traffic is diverted, and on the last day vehicles are barred from entering on most roads. Because the reserve gates close around 4 pm, we pick up near the ring road and start earlier on those dates. Past Nanjangud the road is normal.
It is about 7 to 7.5 hours of driving plus the reserve visit, so elders should plan a night inside Parambikulam or at Pollachi rather than a same day return. The mini bus halts every hour and a half. Seat elders in the front rows for the 27 hairpins of Dhimbam, and carry their medicines in hand luggage.
