Pickup
Peermade is 500 km away in the Kerala hills, so the cab picks you up at 5 am from home or a hotel anywhere in Mysuru and keeps moving most of the day. Guests from north India should know that Kannada is the language of Mysore and Hindi is not widely understood outside tourist spots; the driver will order for you at halts. The car goes south by Nanjangud to Chamarajanagar. Carry a sweater, because Peermade is at about 915 m and evenings are cool.
Fuel and tea
Chamarajanagar is a short tea and fuel halt for the cab, fifteen minutes before the forest. It is the main town of Karnataka's southernmost district, linked with Kollegal for its silk weaving. Grab idli or a vada if you skipped breakfast, and use the restroom. The road after town climbs into the Hasanur forest, crosses into Tamil Nadu and drops through the Dhimbam bends to Bannari, a stretch with no stopping at all.
Breakfast in Sathy
Breakfast waits until the ghat is done. A few km after the last hairpin you pass the Bannari Amman temple, shrine of the rain goddess, and then Sathyamangalam, about 135 km from home. Highway hotels here open early because of the steady bus traffic to Coimbatore, Erode and Tiruppur, so a plate of idli or pongal comes quickly. Twenty minutes is plenty for a car. Paddy fields follow the Bhavani on both banks out of town, and NH948 leads on to Coimbatore, about 70 km away.
Lunch
Coimbatore is lunch, half an hour for a car of four. Besides rice meals, many places make paniyaram and appam, lighter if the drive has tired you. Anyone after a quick purchase has choices: this city turns out most of India's wet grinders, a big share of its motors and pumps, plenty of jewellery, and the Kovai Kora cotton saree with its GI tag. Keep it brief and avoid the evening rush on Avinashi Road. After lunch NH83, the Coimbatore to Nagapattinam highway, takes the cab east to Palani, about 105 km.
Palani
At Palani the Murugan temple stands on Sivagiri hill above the town, reached by about 670 steps, a winch or a rope car. A cab can stop at the foot for tea and a tin of panchamirtham, the GI tagged prasadam of banana, honey, ghee and jaggery. A darshan takes two hours or more, so most families keep it for the return. Theni is about 100 km on, and the hills of Kerala come after it.
Theni
Theni is the district town at the foot of the Western Ghats, hot and dusty in summer, with days near 39.5 C. A ten minute tea halt is enough. The Pennycuick memorial, for the engineer of the Mullaperiyar dam, is at Lower Camp near Gudalur on this road, a two minute look if anyone is curious. From Theni the cab heads to Cumbum and climbs the ghat to Kumily, the Kerala border town.
Spice town
Kumily is the border town on top of the ghat from Cumbum, in the Cardamom Hills. Spice shops line the main road, and cardamom, pepper and tea are the things to buy, fresher and often cheaper than in the cities. A cab can stop at the door, so 15 minutes covers a quick buy. Homestays and spice shops have grown here since the 1980s. Peermade is about 26 km on along NH183, through Vandiperiyar.
Drop
Peermade is a hill station at about 915 m on the Kumily to Kottayam road, with grassland, pine forest and waterfalls around it. The cab drops you at your hotel or estate stay; send the location before the trip, as some stays are off the highway. Vandiperiyar, passed just before, has tea factories at about 836 m. Kottayam is about 85 km further west if you plan to go on. The driver stays near your hotel.
Just your family, and need a Mysore to Peermade cab for a hill holiday? A car crosses Tamil Nadu quickly, and a Mysore to Peermade taxi can add Thekkady or Vagamon. Book cab rental in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova Crysta for seven.

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.

Peermade is about 500 km from Mysore by road, so about 1,000 km there and back. The cab goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Palani and Theni, then climbs to Kumily and follows NH183. Plan about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving with meals. Many families add a night at Palani or Kumily to break it.
The Innova Crysta. The full size list is on cab rental in Mysore.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. It is shown in the quote. ₹400 a night is the cab rate.
Yes, it is around 10.5 to 11 hours. Leave by 5:30 am and you arrive by evening.
Yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
No. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Yes, at Palani. Thai Poosam, on the full moon of the Tamil month Thai, in January or February, is the town's biggest festival, and pilgrims walk in barefoot from far towns, so the roads near Palani are crowded for days. Bannari, below the Dhimbam ghat, has its Kundam festival in March or April. We plan the halts away from these crowds.
We avoid it. The climb from Cumbum to Kumily is a ghat road, and after it NH183 runs through hill forest to Peermade. In the dark the bends are harder to read and the driver is at the end of a long day. If the cab is late at Theni, we stop the night there or at Cumbum and climb in the morning.
