Group pickup
Let the twenty gather at a single spot on the Varuna side of the city, close to where the T Narasipura road leaves town. That road runs past Varuna, about 13 km out, and reaches T Narasipura near the 32 km mark. A mini bus needs about five hours for the 230 km to Salem. Guests from the north should know that people speak Kannada until the border, then Tamil. Stow the luggage before seating anyone.
Drive on
The mini bus passes T Narasipura, about 30 km from Mysore, without a halt. Neolithic sites were dug up across the river near the Bhiksheswara temple between 1959 and 1965, a fact students on the bus may enjoy. The violinist T Chowdiah was born in this taluk. Twenty people stopping this early would cost time, so breakfast is planned at Kollegal, about 30 km on. The group can doze for another half hour.
Breakfast for twenty
At Kollegal, about 60 km from Mysore, the mini bus stops for breakfast. Thirty five minutes is right for twenty. Chamarajanagar railway station is about 38 km from here and Mysore airport about 60 km, useful if anyone in the group joins late. The town is a silk weaving centre. From here the mini bus heads for Hanur and the forest road towards the border. Call the breakfast order ahead from the road.
Tea and water
Fifteen minutes at Hanur gives twenty people tea and a restroom before the long forest run. The town lies on SH 79, the road that leads to the MM Hills shrine in this same taluk. Between Talabetta and Palar, the stretch through the hills, heavy vehicles with more than six wheels may not run from 9 pm to 6 am, and our mini bus also plans its crossing for the day.
Lunch
The mini bus reaches Mettur, about 180 km from Mysore, for lunch. Forty five minutes suits twenty. Boats run from Nerinjipettai, about 4 km from Mettur at the foot of Palamalai, to Poolampatti, a well known film location, if the group has a spare hour on the return. The dam usually opens in June to send water to the Kaveri delta. Salem is about 50 km on. Call ahead so lunch is ready when the bus arrives.
Group drop
Five hours or so after the start, the mini bus delivers the group to one hotel or venue in Salem. This city is a fork in the national road network, where Coimbatore and Kerala traffic peels away from the Madurai road. Try the thattu vadai set, a snack that began here. Mangoes are the buy in season, along with sago made locally from tapioca. Summer, March to May, is very hot. One head count at the hotel door closes the day.
Need a Mysore to Salem mini bus for 20 people? Pickup is from a hotel near Mysuru Palace or the city bus stand and take the direct road via Kollegal and Mettur, not the long way round Bangalore. Book mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Salem is about 230 km from Mysore by road, about 460 km for a return trip. The mini bus goes through T Narasipura, Kollegal and Hanur, then the forest road to Mettur, and on to Salem. A mini bus takes about five hours to make the run, halts included.
The Kollegal and Mettur road is roughly 100 km shorter from Mysore.
Yes, on request. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Tolls, parking, GST and the Tamil Nadu vehicle permit, at the real cost.
A night allowance is charged only for late night driving. The quote lists it. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
The 21 or 22 seater. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, in daylight. The part through the MM Hills sanctuary to Palar and Mettur has bends and forest on both sides, so the mini bus goes slowly. Heavy vehicles are kept off it at night, and a wider night ban has been proposed, so we cross by day. Most rain falls from June to October, when the road is wet and slower.
We do not plan it. The forest road between Hanur and Mettur has animals crossing and night limits on heavy vehicles, and there is little help on the road at night. A group leaving Salem should start by early afternoon to clear the forest before dark, or stay the night and leave in the morning.
