The Mysore to Ponmudi distance is about 630 km by road, or about 1,260 km both ways. The mini bus takes the Chamarajanagar road and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore, halts at Thrissur, then runs through Kochi, Alleppey, Kollam and Vithura. Driving time is about 15 to 15.5 hours over two days.
The 25 seater, with bag space. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Mysore. On this trip it is ₹57,500 for 1,500 km at ₹36/km, plus ₹3,500 driver's allowance.
At Kochi. The next day it is around 220 km to Ponmudi through Kollam and Vithura.
Not included. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. You see it in the quote first. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
In April or May, yes. Thrissur Pooram draws more than a million people around the Vadakkumnathan temple, and hotels fill fast. If your date is near Pooram, we book the group hotel early or move the night halt outside the centre.
One overnight bag each for Thrissur, kept on top of the rack, and the main suitcases loaded below. Ponmudi is misty and cool, so pack jackets. Keep medicines and snacks in hand luggage, as shops on the hill top are few.
