Pickup at your door
Quarter to six, and the car is outside your home, hotel or the station in Mysuru, ready for a two day run to the far south of Kerala. Four people travel easily in a sedan; for five or more with holiday bags, take the Innova. If you plan to carry Mysore pak to friends at the coast, buy the boxes the evening before, since sweet shops open late. Poovar is 585 km away, so we break the drive with a night at Thrissur.
Breakfast and fuel
We roll past Nanjangud and pull in at Gundlupet, sixty km out, for breakfast and a full tank. The town lives off flowers and grapes, but for a car it matters as the final pump before two forest reserves where nothing may stop. Keep the halt to fifteen minutes. A restroom visit now saves an awkward hour later, since Gudalur, the next town, lies some 50 km away through Bandipur and Mudumalai.
Lunch
Gudalur, 110 km from home, is an early lunch for the family. Tea is everything here; estates climb every slope, and some factories near town welcome visitors who ask. A car can manage a short factory call on the return, when time is less tight. After half an hour at the table we leave the Ooty road and drop through the Nadukani churam towards Nilambur in Kerala, a winding hour that rewards a light meal.
Tea stop
Nilambur, 165 km along, makes a fifteen minute tea stop for the car. Ooty lies only about 90 km east of here by the road you just came down, and the airport at Calicut is about 44.5 km away, handy if a family member prefers to fly home from Kerala at the end of the holiday. The Chaliyar river curves past the town. Thrissur, where the first day ends, is roughly 105 km ahead over level farmland, an easy afternoon run.
Night halt
Day one ends at Thrissur, 270 km from Mysore, after roughly 13.5 to 14 hours on the road. Lovers of Kerala food should try a vegetarian sadya, rice with some twenty side dishes and desserts served on a banana leaf, either tonight or at lunch tomorrow. The car is parked at your hotel overnight, and the driver rests nearby. Tomorrow's stretch is about 315 km, the longer half of the trip, so we leave soon after breakfast and keep the halts short.
Drive through
Morning of day two, and the car slips past Kochi, 345 km from Mysore. Mattancherry Palace, built by the Portuguese around 1545 for the Raja of Cochin and later known as the Dutch Palace, holds fine Kerala murals and royal portraits; it deserves an unhurried visit on the return. Today the driver keeps to the highway, avoiding the island lanes, and turns onto NH66 heading south. Alleppey lies about 55 km ahead, a little over an hour.
Optional halt
Alleppey, 400 km out, is a ten minute pause if the family wants one. The town sits on the Punnamada reach of Vembanad lake, and four rivers, the Pamba, Meenachil, Achankovil and Manimala, water the paddy country of Kuttanad spreading behind it; from the car you glimpse long green fields below the road. Use the toilets and buy a coconut, then roll on. Kollam is about 85 km down NH66, and Poovar about 185 km.
Lunch
Lunch on the second day is in Kollam, 485 km from home. This was a busy port for centuries, and the town keeps one of the old St Thomas churches and one of the oldest mosques on the coast, credited to Malik Deenar. Half an hour covers the meal for a family. Thiruvananthapuram lies about 71 km further south, and Poovar sits beyond the capital, roughly 100 km from here, so expect to arrive by late afternoon.
Drop at your stay
The car reaches Poovar after about 13.5 to 14 hours of driving over two days. The village is about 6 km off NH66, around 30 km from Thiruvananthapuram and 12 km south of Kovalam, so the last stretch leaves the highway for a quieter road. We drop you at your resort. For the trip home, the airport is about 26 km away and Neyyattinkara railway station about 12 km.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Poovar sits roughly 585 km from Mysore, near Kerala's southern tip; a return trip is about 1,170 km. Driving takes around 13.5 to 14 hours, so the car stops a night at Thrissur. The road leaves through Bandipur, comes down the Nadukani churam, then runs south past Kochi, Alleppey, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. Bandipur closes at night.
No. 4 days, 1,200 km: Dzire ₹16,000 Etios ₹18,400 Innova ₹23,200 Crysta ₹25,600. Night driver allowance, tolls, Kerala entry tax, parking and GST are extra at actual.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. It is ₹400 a night for the cab.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, on request. For a Poovar drop, one way is ₹2 more per km than a return, quoted as a written quote.
Yes, one way is on request. Thiruvananthapuram airport is about 30 km from Poovar.
Choose December to February if you can; the southern coast is cool and dry and long drives are comfortable. The monsoon, June to September, soaks the ghat and the coast and slows everything. March to May is hot and humid. Whatever the month, we leave Mysore early to clear Bandipur by daylight.
A sedan's boot takes two medium suitcases and two small bags. An Innova manages four or five medium cases with everyone seated. Soft bags pack better for a beach holiday. Keep the night bag for Thrissur on top, so the main cases remain closed until you reach Poovar.
