Pickup at your door
We send the car to your address and the driver loads the bags while you lock up. Out of Mysore the route follows NH 766 south towards Nanjangud and branches off for Chamarajanagar, the gateway to the Dhimbam ghat and Tamil Nadu. Point Calimere sits on the far coast, about 515 km away, close to 10.5 to 11 hours of driving, so many families break it overnight. Check for bandh calls linked to the Kaveri dispute before any Tamil Nadu trip.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is where four or five people can eat breakfast in about twenty minutes while the driver fills the tank. The town governs the southernmost district of the state and is also counted, with Kollegal, as a silk district. Some 16 km away lies the Suvarnavathi dam, worth a look on another trip. Beyond the town the road runs into forest towards Hasanur and down the hairpins to Bannari, so do not skip the restroom.
Tea below the ghat
At the bottom of the 27 hairpins of the Dhimbam ghat, Sathyamangalam is the cab's tea halt, fifteen minutes. A large earthen dam, Bhavanisagar, about 40 m high and opened in 1956, sits some 16 km to the west. The town's buses run to Erode, Coimbatore and Gobichettipalayam. From here the car takes State Highway 15 east through Gobi towards Erode, about 65 km, through farms watered by the Bhavani.
Lunch
Erode, a river town on the Kaveri, is the car's lunch stop, forty minutes. Meals here are cheap by Tamil Nadu standards; parotta, dosa and idli are the everyday choices. The city is one of the state's biggest turmeric producers and a large market for coconut oil, so a packet of turmeric makes an easy buy. The Sangameswarar temple at Bhavani, where two rivers meet, is about 12 km off. NH 544 bypasses the city towards Salem.
Drive on
Karur, on the Amaravathi near its meeting with the Kaveri, is a short ten minute halt. The town builds a large share of India's bus bodies, and its weaving and dyeing units supply textile buyers across the country. It lies in the rain shadow of the Western Ghats, at only about 101 m, so it stays hot and dry most months. NH 44 and NH 67 meet here, and Trichy is about 80 km on.
Tea and fuel
Trichy is a twenty minute tea and fuel stop for the car. If time allows a detour, the Rockfort stands about 5 km north of the junction, with 344 steps cut into an 83 m rock up to the Ucchi Pillayar temple, and Srirangam's great temple is across the river. The rice mills of Manachanallur make the polished Ponni rice sold here. Thanjavur is about 60 km east. The driver checks the tyres here before the last stretch.
Optional night halt
Thanjavur, about 410 km from Mysore, is where many families sleep before the coast; otherwise it is a thirty minute halt. Inside the old Maratha palace, the Saraswathi Mahal library holds more than 30,000 manuscripts on palm leaf and paper. The town makes head shaking dancing dolls, Tanjore paintings set with gems and gold leaf, and veenas. A banana leaf meal is the classic lunch. Vedaranyam is about 95 km on.
Tea on the coast
Vedaranyam is a small coastal town of Nagapattinam district, named after its Vedaranyeswarar temple to Shiva. A ten minute tea halt is enough. The land around is barely 1 m above the sea and full of salt pans and prawn farms, since salt making and fishing are the main work. Fish and prawn meals are the local food. Point Calimere is about 10 km on. Shoes come off at the temple door if you go in.
Drop at Kodiakkarai
The cab reaches Kodiakkarai, the village at Point Calimere, about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving after Mysore. The driver drops you at the forest office, where sanctuary tickets are sold, or at your stay. Meals are simplest back in Vedaranyam, about 10 km away, where fish and prawn dishes are the local food. The coast is flat and humid, so carry caps and water. The driver waits at the parking while you are inside the sanctuary.

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.

Point Calimere is about 515 km from Mysore by this road, so about 1,030 km for a round trip. The cab goes via Chamarajanagar and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, then Erode, Karur, Trichy, Thanjavur and Vedaranyam. A car needs about 10.5 to 11 hours of driving, usually split over two days.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. The quote lists it. ₹400 a night is the cab rate.
They are extra. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
Leave around 5:00 am, and the forest and ghat on the Point Calimere road pass in daylight. A car is quicker than the bigger vehicles, so the driver can also wait for a late riser.
Point Calimere for six? An Innova Crysta with room for bags. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore. Point Calimere is ₹24,000 for 1,200 km at ₹20/km, with ₹1,600 allowance for the driver.
Yes. Ask for a Mysore to Point Calimere one way cab quote with your date; you get the distance and fare as a written quote.
November to February is the most comfortable. Thanjavur and the delta get most of their rain from October to January, and Karur and Erode are very hot from March to June. The Dhimbam ghat has had night traffic bans, so the car crosses it in daylight. Plan two days each way to keep the driving hours sensible.
Yes, and we suggest it. Thanjavur is a comfortable night halt, about four fifths of the way, with hotels for families and an easy morning run to the coast. On the first day we halt at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Erode and Karur. Carry snacks, caps and light cotton clothes for the coast.
