Home pickup
The family is collected at 5:30 am from home, with bags packed behind the last row. Peermade is a long day, about 10.5 to 11 hours with halts, so keep pillows, snacks and water for the children within reach. When you come back, if it is a Sunday or a public holiday evening, Mysore Palace is lit with about 100,000 bulbs from 7 pm, a lovely end to the trip. The van leaves by Nanjangud for Chamarajanagar.

Tea and fuel
Chamarajanagar is the tea and fuel stop. Children can have a light breakfast here, idli or dosa, while the driver fills diesel, about 20 minutes in all. The Suvarnavathi dam is about 16 km away and Yelandur's stone chain temple about 20 km, both for another trip. After the town the van passes through the Hasanur forest and down the Dhimbam ghat, with no shops, so everyone uses the restroom first.

Family breakfast
Hungry children finally get their breakfast at Sathyamangalam, once the van is down from the forest. Ask them what they saw: this reserve is a key path for elephants, with more than 850 counted, and tigers live here too. Thirty minutes at a highway hotel covers food and the restroom. If the family likes water and picnics, the Bhavanisagar reservoir, fed partly by the Moyar river, lies about 16 km west of town; keep it in mind for the drive home. Coimbatore is the next stop, on NH948.

Lunch
Lunch in Coimbatore. The city serves idli and dosa at almost any hour, which suits children who will not touch rice at noon, and the grown ups can have a meal on a banana leaf. Forty minutes is the halt. If a wet grinder is on the family wish list, Coimbatore makes most of the country's, and a boxed one rides home fine behind the last row. From here NH83 runs east to Palani, about 105 km of open plains, a good stretch for an afternoon nap in the van.

Temple hill
Palani's Murugan temple crowns a rocky hill just outside the town, and children love watching the winch cars crawl up its three tracks. A full darshan by the 670 steps or the rope car takes far longer than this halt, so families usually plan it for the return or a night here. Today, 30 minutes for tea, the restroom and a tin of panchamirtham, a sweet, jam like prasadam of fruit, honey and jaggery that the children will finish before Theni, about 100 km on.

Valley tea
Theni lies about 70 km from Madurai, in a valley where the Western Ghats rise sharply behind the coconut palms. Summer days here touch about 39.5 C, so make sure the children drink water and stay in the shade at this 15 minute halt. The Vaigai dam near Andipatti and the old Veerapandi Gowmariamman temple, built in the 14th century, are both close to town for another visit. After Theni the van passes Cumbum and begins the climb to Kumily.

Spices
Kumily, on top of the ghat in the Cardamom Hills, is the first Kerala town on this road, and its main street smells of spices. Give the family 20 minutes to buy cardamom, pepper and tea to take home; the shops pack them well for travel. Hold children's hands, as the road is narrow and busy with jeeps. From here NH183 runs about 26 km to Peermade, past the tea factories of Vandiperiyar, and the air keeps getting cooler.

Peermade
Peermade sits at about 915 m, cool after the plains, among rolling grassland, pine woods and small waterfalls. The van takes the family right to the hotel or estate stay, so share the name and location before the trip and we check the road. Ask the stay to have dinner ready, because after 10.5 to 11 hours on the road nobody wants to go looking for food. Vandiperiyar, which you passed on the way, has tea factories at about 836 m. The driver stays near your hotel.

The Mysore to Peermade distance is about 500 km by road, about 1,000 km there and back. The tempo traveller goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Palani and Theni, climbs to Kumily and follows NH183. A family takes about 10.5 to 11 hours with halts, so many break the drive for a night at Palani.
Tolls on the 500 km Peermade road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at actuals.
Night allowance on the Peermade run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
One way to Peermade, 500 km, is quoted when you ask at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
Yes. Peermade needs half a day. Kumily and Thekkady are roughly 30 km from Peermade.
The 9 seater is enough, or the 12 seater with lots of bags. Every size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
The plains part is hot. Theni averages about 39.5 C in summer, and the stretch from Palani to Cumbum has little shade, so the van's AC and a good supply of water matter. Peermade, at about 915 m, stays pleasant. In summer we start at 5:30 am, keep afternoon halts short and reach the hills by evening.
For a stay of three or four days, one soft bag per person and a small hand bag fit behind the last row. Leave some room for the spices you will buy at Kumily. Keep warm layers, medicines and snacks in the hand bags, because the forest stretch on the way has no shops and Peermade evenings are cool.
