Pickup in Mysuru
Guests landing at Mandakalli can be met at the airport itself, which sits just off the Nanjangud road south of the city; others are collected from home or hotel. The Urbania follows NH 766 a short way and then forks for Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat and Tamil Nadu. Point Calimere lies some 515 km off on the eastern coast, and the group sleeps in Thanjavur on the way. Mysore silk or incense makes a thoughtful gift for hosts.
Breakfast halt
In Chamarajanagar the Urbania pauses twenty five minutes for breakfast, long enough for elders to eat at a table. This district's famous outings, BR Hills, MM Hills and the Shivanasamudra falls, will have to wait for another holiday. Not far away, roughly 20 km towards Kollegal, a Yelandur temple hangs chains cut from solid stone. Ask elders to visit the restrooms now; forest and hairpins come next, and facilities vanish until Sathyamangalam.
Tea below the ghat
With the 27 bends of Dhimbam finally done, the Urbania rests a quarter hour at Sathyamangalam for tea. Elders can stretch on level ground. Several rivers feed the big Bhavanisagar lake west of town, the Moyar among them, and the dam wall stands about 16 km away. Coimbatore's airport is some 74 km off and Tiruppur's railway station about 57 km, should anyone need either. From here the van swings east towards Erode.
Lunch
Lunch for the Urbania group is in Erode, forty minutes at a sit down hotel. The climate here is dry and fierce, with March to June the hottest months and most of the rain arriving in October and November. A Murugan temple at Thindal is only about 6 km from the centre, and the hill shrine at Chennimalai about 30 km. Turmeric grown around Erode is sold in every market, a light gift to pack. Karur comes about 65 km later.
Tea halt
Karur gives elders fifteen minutes for tea and a stretch. Three rivers, the Amaravathi, the Kaveri and the Noyyal, flow past or near the town, and its dyeing works and coach body yards keep the streets lively. The driest month is March and the wettest October. A short way out, Nerur village holds the shrine of the saint Sadasiva Brahmendral alongside a Kashi Vishwanatha temple. Trichy lies about 80 km further.
Tea in Trichy
Twenty minutes in Trichy lets the group refresh before the last leg of the day. Two old Kaveri weirs lie nearby, Kallanai, the Grand Anicut, about 2,000 years old and some 18 km from Uraiyur, and Mukkombu, the Upper Anicut, about 15 km from the junction. Flower sellers crowd the bazaar at Srirangam, and mangoes pile up on Mambazha Salai in season. Thanjavur, tonight's stop, sits roughly 60 km to the east.
Night halt
The Urbania group sleeps in Thanjavur, some 410 km from home. Mornings start with idli and dosa, and lunch here is traditionally served on a banana leaf. In the Maratha palace, the Saraswathi Mahal library guards over 30,000 old manuscripts. Local workshops still cast bell metal art plates and build veenas. Weather is kindest between November and February. Vedaranyam and the coast are about 95 km away, a gentle morning drive.
Tea on the coast
On the second morning the Urbania stops a quarter hour in Vedaranyam, a seaside town in Nagapattinam district that takes its name from the Shiva shrine of Vedaranyeswarar. Here people work the salt pans, fish the shallows and run prawn farms, so seafood thalis are easy to find. Much of the town lies only about 1 m above high tide, beside a broad swamp. Point Calimere is a final 10 km.
Drop at Kodiakkarai
Total time behind the wheel comes to around ten and a half hours, spread across two days with the Thanjavur night. The Urbania pulls up at the forest office in Kodiakkarai, where sanctuary tickets are sold, or right at your lodging, so elders take only a few steps. For lunch the best choice is back in Vedaranyam, about 10 km, with fish and prawn on the menu. Keep caps and water bottles handy.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Point Calimere lies about 515 km from Mysore, about 1,030 km there and back. The Urbania goes via Chamarajanagar and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam, then Erode, Karur and Trichy to Thanjavur for the night, and on to Vedaranyam. Count on about ten and a half hours of driving.
We plan breakfast at Chamarajanagar, lunch at Erode, lunch at Trichy and the night at Thanjavur. The Urbania parks at the door, so seniors walk very little.
Sure. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
No. For Point Calimere, the ₹40/km fare has GST, tolls, parking and the Tamil Nadu permit added at actuals.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. Per night it is ₹700.
The 12 seater. The full size list is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Every size is ₹40/km, so this trip is ₹48,000 for 1,200 km at ₹40/km, with ₹2,800 driver allowance.
November to February is the best time for the drive. The Thanjavur delta gets most of its rain from October to January, and Erode and Karur are very hot from March to June. The Dhimbam ghat has had night traffic bans, so we plan it for daylight on both legs.
One medium bag per person fits in the back of the Urbania, with room for a cool box. Pack light cotton clothes, caps and sunscreen for the coast, and a small overnight bag for Thanjavur so the main luggage can stay loaded. Keep medicines and documents in hand bags.
