Two pickups
At 5:30 am the mini bus calls at two pickup points in Mysuru, and the group loads its bags at the back. Peermade is far enough to need two days for a group, with tonight at Palani, so a small overnight bag rides on top of each suitcase. The city's own breakfast, a masala dosa with red chutney spread inside, is tempting, but most groups eat on the road instead. The leader holds the list of names, and the bus sets off on the Nanjangud road.

Fuel before the forest
Twenty minutes at Chamarajanagar for tea and diesel, about 60 km out. The coordinator counts heads while the driver fills up. Above the market rises the Chamarajeshwara gopura, started in 1825, and the farms around the town grow banana and turmeric. Everyone should take the restroom now; between here and Bannari the bus crosses the forest and the Dhimbam ghat, and stopping there is not allowed. Fill the group's water can too, as the next shops are on the far side of the ghat.

Breakfast
Breakfast comes at Sathyamangalam, once the bus is off the ghat. The heaviest trucks, with 12 or more wheels, may not use the Dhimbam road, so the bends are calmer than you might fear. If the leader phones from Bannari, the hotel has breakfast ready in about 25 minutes. Sathy is a busy bus town on the Bhavani, with services to Coimbatore, Erode and Tiruppur, so the mini bus keeps to the highway side. NH948 then runs south to Coimbatore for lunch.

Lunch
In Coimbatore the group lunches at a meals hotel that can seat everyone at once. Potato rice and full meals are quick for a big table, and the Siruvani water the city is proud of is good for refilling the cans. One person settles the bill for all, which saves time. After 40 minutes and a head count the mini bus takes NH83 east towards Palani, where tonight's rooms are booked. The road is flat and fast, about 105 km.

Panchamirtham stop
Palani is the night halt, about 310 km from Mysore. The town has rooms of every kind for the pilgrims who come to the Murugan temple on Sivagiri hill. Next morning the group can climb the steps or take the winch, then buy panchamirtham, the first temple prasadam to get a GI tag. Tonsuring for vows is common here, so the hill is busy early. Theni is about 100 km on.

Grape valley road
Day two begins with about 100 km from Palani to Theni, where the group stops 20 minutes for tea. Theni, the district town, sits at the foot of the Western Ghats and is called the gateway to the highlands. In this district the Mangala Devi Kannagi temple lies about 7 km from Pazhiyankudi, and the Kumbakkarai falls are in the Kodaikanal foothills. From here the bus heads to Cumbum and then up the ghat to Kumily; anyone who gets travel sick should take a front seat now.

Spices
Kumily is the Kerala border town at the top of the ghat. The Cardamom Hills start here, and the main road is one long row of spice shops selling cardamom, pepper and tea. Fifteen minutes is the limit for a group this size, so tell everyone the leaving time before they get off. The mini bus parks on the main road because the side lanes are narrow. Peermade is about 26 km further on NH183.

Peermade
Peermade, at about 915 m, is the end of the road for the mini bus, a hill station of grassland, pine forest and waterfalls. The bus drops the group at the hotel; for an estate stay off the highway, the stay's jeep may take bags for the last part. Book dinner for everyone in advance. On the way in you passed Vandiperiyar, where the tea factories sit at about 836 m. The driver parks near the hotel for the night.
Taking 20 people on a Mysore to Peermade mini bus for a hill holiday or a retreat? It is easier than a big bus on the Kumily and Peermade hill roads and still fits the group. See mini bus on rent in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

Peermade is about 500 km from Mysore one way and about 1,000 km for the round trip. The mini bus goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore to Palani for the night, then by Theni and Cumbum up to Kumily and on NH183. Driving time is about 11.5 to 12 hours over two days.
Palani or Coimbatore. Both have plenty of rooms for a group of twenty.
The 16 seater does it. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Sure. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. It is shown in the quote. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
No. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
It slows the two ghats rather than closing them. Around Coimbatore the southwest rains come from July, and a second spell of northeast rain follows in October and early November; on the Dhimbam bends and on the climb from Cumbum to Kumily the bus then moves at walking pace in places. We leave Palani early on day two in the wet months, so the Kumily ghat is behind the group by early afternoon.
The night at Palani is the key: nobody sits for more than about three hours without a proper break, and the second morning starts fresh. Children who feel sick on bends sit up front for the Dhimbam and Kumily ghats and eat lightly before them. Pack snacks and water for the forest after Chamarajanagar, and sweaters, because Peermade at about 915 m is cool after dark.
