Group pickup
The tempo traveller calls at 5:30 am at one address in Mysuru, with 9 to 20 seats and luggage space for a long holiday. Planning Mysore sights at the end of the trip? Keep away from Tuesdays, when the zoo and Karanji lake both close, and reach the palace between ten and half past five. This morning we leave by the Nanjangud highway. Poovar lies 585 km south, so the van stops for the night at Thrissur.
Breakfast and fuel
After Nanjangud, the van stops at Gundlupet, 60 km out, so the family can eat. Sitting about 816 m up, this town is so sheltered from the monsoon, with roughly 60 cm of rain a year, that its farmers favour flowers and vines over rice. Twenty five minutes is long enough for a dozen breakfasts at the roadside places. While everyone eats, the tank is filled, and nobody should skip the toilets; inside the two reserves ahead, the van is not allowed to pause even briefly.
Lunch
Lunch is in Gudalur, 110 km out. Eight km up the Ooty road there is a lookout called Needle Rock, and from it you see the whole bowl of Gudalur, its tea gardens and the dark Mudumalai jungle; a twenty minute detour if the group is keen and the clock allows. The meal itself takes forty minutes. Afterwards the van heads south west down the Nadukani churam, and the bends begin almost at once, so motion sick travellers should be seated up front.
Tea stop
Nilambur, 165 km along, offers fifteen minutes for tea. Not far from town the Nedumkayam forest area runs guided treks under Kerala's ecotourism programme, an idea to note for a future holiday with more time. Today it is just a cup of tea, a toilet break and a quick stretch beside the van. Thrissur, the night halt, is roughly 105 km ahead across the Malabar plain, so the group should reach the hotel with daylight to spare.
Night halt
After 270 km the group checks in for the night at Thrissur. Have a look at your dates if they fall in April or May; Thrissur Pooram then fills the city with more than a million people and hotel rooms disappear. On any other night the place is calm and pleasant. The van stays parked at your hotel. Day two is about 315 km to Poovar, longer than the first, so plan an early breakfast and a prompt start.
Drive through
The van passes Kochi, 345 km from Mysore, on the second morning. Since 2012 the city has hosted the Kochi Muziris Biennale, a big art show, and Marine Drive and old St Francis Church rank among its best known sights; all of them need a day of their own. Our driver therefore stays on the main highway, clear of the island traffic, and swings onto NH66 for the coast. Alleppey lies about 55 km south.
Tea halt
Alleppey, 400 km from Mysore, gives the group twenty minutes for tea. Christian families might like to know that the church at Kokkamangalam, near the town, is counted among the seven churches linked with St Thomas; it would make a short detour on a return day. For now, tea, restrooms and back on board. Kollam, where lunch is planned, lies roughly 85 km south along NH66, with the sea seldom far off.
Lunch
Lunch on day two is in Kollam, 485 km out. At the mouth of Ashtamudi lake sits Neendakara port, and fishing, coir making and country boats have long been the trades round the water, so seafood is the obvious order. Forty minutes is right for a group of twelve to fifteen. Roughly 100 km remain to Poovar, the route passing Thiruvananthapuram, so the van keeps a steady pace through the afternoon traffic.
Drop at your stay
The tempo traveller reaches Poovar after about fourteen hours of driving over two days. The village lies about 6 km off NH66, and the Neyyar river, 56 km long, meets the sea close by, with Pozhiyoor beach a short distance south. We drop the group at its resort with the bags. The van then stays near the resort until the return. Kovalam is about 12 km to the north if the group wants a beach day, and the airport is roughly 26 km away for anyone flying out.

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. 👍

From Mysore it is close to 585 km to Poovar, about 1,170 km for a return. The tempo traveller drives roughly fourteen hours in all, split by a night at Thrissur. Day one crosses Bandipur and the Nadukani churam; day two follows NH66 down the coast through Kochi, Alleppey and Kollam, past the capital to the village.
The 16 seater gives space for holiday luggage. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Not included. 4 days, 1,200 km in a 12 seater comes to ₹31,200 at ₹24/km, plus ₹2,000 to the driver. Tolls, Kerala entry tax, parking and GST at actual.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
At Kochi, about 14 hours from Mysore. It splits the drive into two easy days.
Yes, quoted when you ask. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, with the km fixed in the written quote.
It can if dates clash. Pooram, held in April or May around the Vadakkumnathan temple, brings well over a million visitors, and its exhibition lasts for weeks. Hotels near the centre fill early and streets are packed. In that case we book the night a little outside the centre or move it further south.
Yes, if you plan it. Each day has six to 14 hours of driving, with breaks every hour or two. Children should use the toilet before Bandipur, keep water and snacks to hand and sit by a window. A small overnight bag for Thrissur keeps the main luggage packed until Poovar.
