Pickup
The Urbania picks the group up at 5:30 am anywhere in Mysuru. Suitcases go in the rear space, warm clothes and medicines stay in hand bags. If the plan has a Mysore sightseeing day after the trip, keep it off a Tuesday, when the zoo and Karanji lake are closed. The van takes the Nanjangud road south. Peermade is about ten hours away with halts, and the last part is hill road in Kerala.

Before the forest
At Chamarajanagar the Urbania fills fuel while the group takes tea, about 20 minutes. This is the head town of Karnataka's southernmost district, and the road to BR Hills, about 40 km of forest through K Gudi, starts here, though not for this trip. For elders the important thing is the restroom, used now without fail, because the coming stretch through the Hasanur forest and down the Dhimbam ghat into Tamil Nadu has no place for the van to pull over.

Breakfast
Breakfast is in Sathyamangalam, once the 27 hairpins of the Dhimbam ghat are behind. Over the years the forest department has banned night traffic on this ghat more than once, with the hours changed several times, which is why the Urbania set out so early. A highway hotel with a quiet hall serves the group in about 25 minutes. Sathy is a busy junction for buses, so the driver avoids the bus stand road. Then the flat NH948 runs on to Coimbatore.

Lunch
Coimbatore is lunch, on a banana leaf at a meals hotel outside the busy centre, so elders do not have to walk far from the van. Potato rice is a popular light dish if someone prefers less. The city's main temples, Perur Patteeswarar and Marudamalai Murugan about 15 km northwest, deserve a separate day. After about 40 minutes the Urbania joins NH83 for the 105 km run east to Palani, a smooth road where elders can rest.

Tea
Palani is a tea halt at the foot of the temple hill, and elders can rest here for 25 minutes. The Murugan temple on top is reached by a winch or a rope car as well as the steps, and the Idumban shrine stands halfway up. A night here is an option for elders who want darshan; the town has many rooms. Panchamirtham, the GI tagged prasadam, is sold near the hill.

Tea
Theni, the district town where the Western Ghats meet the plain, is a 15 minute tea halt. In summer the afternoons here are fierce, near 39.5 C, so elders can stay in the van with the AC running while the tea is brought to them. This district climbs from about 400 ft at Kurangani to about 6,500 ft at Top Station, which tells you how high the hills ahead are. The Urbania goes on through Cumbum and up the ghat to Kumily.

Spice shops
Kumily is where the ghat from Cumbum, about 23 to 30 km of bends, reaches the top and the road enters Kerala. The town lies in the Cardamom Hills, and its spice shops sell cardamom, pepper and tea; elders often buy here for the family at home. Fifteen minutes is enough, and the van parks close to the shops so nobody walks far. Peermade is about 26 km further on NH183, past the tea factories of Vandiperiyar.

Drop
Peermade is a quiet hill station at about 915 m on the road to Kottayam, ringed by grassland, pine trees and waterfalls. The Urbania drops the group at the hotel or estate stay; share the address early so we can check the access road for a van. Evenings turn cool, so elders should keep a shawl and warm socks at hand. Kottayam is about 85 km west if the plan continues. The driver stays nearby and is ready at the time you fix.

Peermade is about 500 km from Mysore, about 1,000 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore, east to Palani, south to Theni and Cumbum, then up to Kumily and along NH183. Plan about 11.5 to 12 hours with halts, or two days with a night at Palani.
They are extra. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. Night bata: ₹700.
We split it over two days with a night at Palani or Coimbatore.
Yes, that works. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
The 8 seater. The full size list is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes, during the Kundam festival of the Bannari Amman temple, at the foot of the Dhimbam ghat, in the Tamil month of Panguni, March or April. Lakhs of devotees come and the road near Sathyamangalam slows badly. If your trip falls then, the Urbania leaves Mysore earlier so the group passes Bannari before the crowd.
The rear space takes one medium suitcase or soft bag per person for a group of 10 to 12, with hand bags inside. Keep room for spices from Kumily. Warm layers, medicines and water should be in the hand bags, since the forest stretch has no shops and Peermade is cool in the evening.
