Group pickup
Twenty friends with weekend bags need a gathering point where the mini bus can wait a while, so pick a spot near the T Narasipura road rather than in the old city. Anyone coming in by train can take a prepaid auto from the counter at Mysore Junction to reach it. The route climbs over MM Hills into Tamil Nadu, then crosses the state from Salem to the sea, about 410 km, near ten hours with stops.
Breakfast for twenty
The mini bus gives twenty travellers thirty five minutes for breakfast at Kollegal. The Bharachukki falls lie on this town's bank of the Kaveri, and pilgrims know Kollegal for the shrine of Mahadeshwara's first footprints, though neither fits into today's long run. Ring the Mettur lunch hotel with the head count before leaving. The driver then heads east on SH 79 through Hanur towards the forest and the Tamil Nadu border.
Lunch for twenty
Lunch for twenty is at Mettur, fifty minutes so the hotel can serve everyone properly. Big aluminium works and both thermal and hydro power plants have earned the town the name aluminium city. Around May the Mariamman temple holds a week of festivities that crowd the main street. In a dry year the reservoir drops far enough to reveal ruins of the villages it once drowned. Salem lies roughly 55 km on.
Tea and fuel
At Salem the mini bus tops up its tank while the group has tea. Bird watchers in the group may want to note Mookaneri lake in the city, and history buffs Sankagiri fort, cared for by the Archaeological Survey and about 22 km away, for a future trip. From here the driver takes NH 79 east towards Attur. With about 200 km still ahead, the leader counts heads before the doors close.
Drive on
Attur, where NH 79 and NH 136 meet, slips past without a halt. Tapioca pearls are made in quantity here, hence the name Sago City, and the town lies at roughly 244 m, lower than Salem. Should the group come back this way with time to spare, Muttal waterfalls village is some 15 km off on the Mullaivadi road. The next stop is Villupuram, about 110 km ahead, so passengers can rest.
Tea and restrooms
Villupuram is the mini bus's final halt, twenty minutes so the restroom queue clears. Chennai lies some 160 km to the north, while Pondicherry is only about 35 km east. Trains on five lines pass through the town's junction, one of the largest in the state, so roads near the station can jam. The coastal humidity starts here; hand out water and ask everyone to drink before the last stretch.
Group drop
After about ten hours, halts included, the mini bus drops the group at its Pondicherry hotel. Narrow lanes in the old town are best explored on foot or by bicycle, so the bus stays parked for local wandering. Ask any eatery for fried fish, or prawn bajji with parotta, the local seafood favourites. Handmade paper notebooks are a light gift. Agree on one gathering place and time for the evening.
Want a Mysore to Pondicherry mini bus for 20 friends and a long weekend by the sea? It is small enough for the old town streets and big enough for everyone and their bags. We collect from the Mysuru railway station, a hostel or two homes. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.

Pondicherry lies close to 410 km from Mysore, which puts the mini bus near 820 km by the time it is home. The group crosses into Tamil Nadu over MM Hills via Kollegal, lunches at Mettur, then turns east at Salem through Attur and Villupuram. Ten hours with halts is a realistic figure for a mini bus.
No. Tolls, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry entry tax, parking and GST are charged extra. A 20 seater for 3 days, 900 km is ₹32,700 with ₹2,100 driver bata.
Yes, quoted when you ask. One way costs ₹2 more per km than the return rate; the quote states the km.
Yes. It is about 100 km up the coast. Add a day.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
The 22 seater. Sizes on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Choose the mild months between November and February. October brings the northeast monsoon to this coast, and summers are humid and hot. Because the mini bus must clear the MM Hills forest in daylight, departure from Mysore is always early in the morning.
We recommend it for a ten hour run. Salem, about halfway, has hotels for groups, and the second day to the coast is easier. If you go in one day, we halt at Kollegal, Mettur, Salem and Villupuram. Bags for twenty fit in the rear; keep one small bag each near the seats.
