Pickup for the group
The tempo traveller can call at two addresses before leaving the city by the Nanjangud road, NH 766, and branching for Chamarajanagar and the Dhimbam ghat. Point Calimere is about 515 km away, around ten and a half hours of driving, so the family spends the first night at Karur. Mysore's own masala dosa, red chutney inside, is a quick breakfast before the start. Bags and a cool box go at the back.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar is where the family eats breakfast, with thirty minutes to spare. Look up from the main road and you will see the tall gopura of the Chamarajeshwara temple, which Krishnaraja Wodeyar III raised from 1825 to remember his father. Trains from Mysore end at this town's station. Ahead lies forest all the way to Hasanur and the top of the ghat, without shops, so top up drinking water and use the restrooms.
Tea below the ghat
Twenty minutes at Sathyamangalam gives the family tea once the hairpins are done. The forests here form a tiger reserve of about 1,408 sq km, Tamil Nadu's biggest sanctuary. Bannari Amman, the rain goddess, has her temple near the bottom of the ghat, and her Kundam fire festival in March or April brings lakhs of devotees. Erode is about 65 km east, so the van sets off after the tea.
Family lunch
Erode, on the Kaveri, is the family's lunch stop. Forty five minutes allows a meal and a short walk. Erode is a big textile hub for handloom and knitwear, and traders from across India buy cotton cloth in its market. Vellode bird sanctuary is near the city. Bhavani, about 12 km away, is known for its woven jamakkalam carpets, which carry a Geographical Indication. Karur is about 65 km on.
Night halt
Karur, about 270 km from Mysore, is the night halt for the family, roughly halfway. The town sits on the Amaravathi, near where it joins the Kaveri, and the bus stand is close to the centre, with hotels around it. The Pasupatheeswarar Shiva temple is the main temple in town. Karur is hot from April to June and gets little rain, about 600 mm a year. The next morning, Trichy is about 80 km away.
Breakfast
On day two the family eats breakfast in Trichy, about 80 km from Karur, in thirty minutes. Next to Srirangam is the large Shiva temple of Jambukeswarar at Thiruvanaikaval, a good add on for a later trip. Shoppers can pick up polished Ponni rice milled at Manachanallur, or mangoes from Mambazha Salai in season. The airport is just 5 km from the city. Thanjavur lies roughly 60 km east. Children can stretch their legs here.
Short halt
Thanjavur, called the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu, is an optional half hour halt for the family. A palace ticket includes a section of the palace with views across the rooftops, and Schwartz church, built in 1779, sits in the palace garden. Children love the thalaiyatti bommai, dolls whose heads keep nodding, sold in every shop. The coast at Vedaranyam is about 95 km away. Footwear stays in the van.
Tea on the coast
At Vedaranyam the family stops a quarter of an hour for tea. This small coastal town was named for its Shiva temple, Vedaranyeswarar. Along the shore you pass salt pans and prawn ponds, and the fishing boats bring in the catch that ends up in local seafood meals. The houses sit barely 1 m above sea level, next to a wide swamp. Point Calimere lies around 10 km on. Buy water for the day here.
Drop at Kodiakkarai
Over two days the tempo traveller spends around ten and a half hours on the road before it reaches Kodiakkarai, the village at Point Calimere. The family is dropped at the forest office to buy sanctuary tickets, or at the lodging. For a proper meal, go back to Vedaranyam, about 10 km, where prawns and fish come fresh. The coast is open and humid; caps, sunscreen and water are a must.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

By road Point Calimere lies about 515 km from Mysore, close to 1,030 km for the return. The tempo traveller goes via Chamarajanagar and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, Erode and Karur for the night, then Trichy, Thanjavur and Vedaranyam. Driving time is about ten and a half hours, over two days.
Yes. Velankanni is roughly 50 km up the coast. Add half a day; the extra km are billed at the same rate.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at cost. Out of state, the permit is extra too.
Point Calimere: the 16 seater, leaving room for suitcases. This trip comes to ₹38,400 for 1,200 km at ₹32/km, with ₹2,400 allowance for the driver. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. You see it in the quote first. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Sure. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
November to February is the most comfortable. The delta around Thanjavur gets most of its rain from October to January, and the plains around Karur and Erode are very hot from March to June. The Dhimbam ghat has had night traffic bans, so the tempo traveller crosses it by day on both legs.
Yes, the night at Karur splits it into two days of about five hours each. On the first day we halt at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam and Erode, and on the second at Trichy and Thanjavur. Keep elders in the front row for the ghat, and carry snacks and water for the children.
