Group pickup
Twenty travellers with four days of luggage need a roomy boarding spot, so pick a ground near the Nanjangud road on the southern edge of Mysore. The mini bus runs down NH 766, forks for Chamarajanagar and crosses the Dhimbam ghat, then drives right across Tamil Nadu to the Bay of Bengal coast, about 515 km, with the night in Thanjavur. Kannada works till the border and Tamil afterwards, so keep addresses written in both.
Breakfast for twenty
Thirty five minutes at Chamarajanagar gives twenty people breakfast before the forest. The town runs Karnataka's most southerly district, and a jungle road from here climbs about 40 km through K Gudi to BR Hills, a plan for some other long weekend. Fill the water cans and phone the lunch order through to Erode now. Between here and the ghat lie only trees and the Hasanur forest post, with no hotels.
Tea below the ghat
At the foot of the ghat, Sathyamangalam gives the group twenty minutes for tea and restrooms. Highway 948 passes through the town, and the drive on to Erode is about 65 km by State Highway 15, through Gobichettipalayam. Forest officials have counted more than 850 elephants in the reserve around. Town buses leave constantly for Erode and Coimbatore, so the driver parks a little away from the stand. Count heads before moving on.
Lunch for twenty
Erode gives the group fifty minutes for lunch. Food here is plain and good value, parotta, dosa and idli, cheaper than in most Tamil Nadu cities. Erode also trades more coconuts and coconut oil than almost anywhere in the south. A short hop away at Bhavani, the year's biggest temple festival falls in the Tamil month of Masi, February to March. The mini bus then heads about 65 km to Karur.
Tea halt
At Karur the mini bus breaks for fifteen minutes of tea. Two national highways, NH 44 and NH 67, cross in this town, and many of India's bus coaches are built in its workshops, so look out for half finished buses on the roadside. Picnic groups sometimes head to Ponnaniyar dam near Pooncholai in the Kadavur hills. Trichy's airport is about 78 km away, and the city itself about 80 km on.
Tea in Trichy
Trichy is a twenty minute pause for the group. Across the river, the Srirangam temple complex spreads over about 155 acres with 21 gopurams, its tallest tower near 73 m, a sight worth a separate day. The city lies roughly 322 km south of Chennai. After tea, the mini bus has about 60 km left to Thanjavur and the night's rooms, so the group can doze on this last leg of day one.
Night halt
Thanjavur is the night halt for the mini bus, about 410 km from Mysore. The new bus stand is near Raja Serfoji College, and hotels with parking are around the town. Tanjore paintings with gems and gold leaf and the dancing dolls are the souvenirs. Thiruvaiyaru, about 13 km away, holds the Tyagaraja Aradhana music festival in January and February. Vedaranyam is about 95 km away for the morning. Dinner for twenty is easiest at the hotel.
Tea on the coast
Next morning the mini bus spends twenty minutes in Vedaranyam, a shore town of Nagapattinam district whose name comes from its Shiva temple, the Vedaranyeswarar. Salt is raked from the pans here, boats go out for fish and prawn ponds line the coast, so seafood is on every menu. The ground lies roughly 1 m above the sea. Only about 10 km remain to Point Calimere. Buy water cans for the day here.
Group drop
Spread over two days, the wheels turn for about eleven and a half hours in all before the mini bus reaches Kodiakkarai. The driver stops at the village forest office, where tickets for the sanctuary are bought, and inside the forest the bus follows the staff's instructions. For a group lunch, Vedaranyam, about 10 km back, has the most choice. Agree a single gathering place before people scatter. Leave the bags in the bus.

Point Calimere is about 515 km from Mysore, so the mini bus covers about 1,030 km for the round trip. The route goes via Chamarajanagar and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, then Erode, Karur and Trichy to Thanjavur for the night, and on to Vedaranyam. A mini bus needs about eleven and a half hours of driving.
At Thanjavur on the way down. Next morning it is about 105 km to Kodiakkarai.
Not included. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Point Calimere: the 25 seater, with bag space. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore. For this trip it is ₹46,000 for 1,200 km at ₹36/km, plus ₹2,800 driver's allowance.
Sure. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. That comes to ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
November to February. The delta around Thanjavur gets most of its rain from October to January, and the roads near the coast can be slow then. Erode and Karur are very hot from March to June. The Dhimbam ghat has had night traffic bans, so the mini bus crosses it in daylight.
One medium bag each goes in the rear of the mini bus. Keep a small overnight bag for Thanjavur, so the main luggage stays loaded. Pack light cotton clothes, caps and sunscreen for the coast. Leaders should carry a name list and a first aid kit.
