Pickup for the group
Our tempo traveller is happy to collect from a home first and a hotel second before it turns towards T Narasipura. That road ties Mysore to Kollegal, MM Hills and Salem, so it is the natural line south east. Expect around four and a half hours for the 230 km. Go early, since the forest near the border should be crossed well before dusk. A tin of Mysore pak makes a good gift for hosts in Salem.
Drive on
No stop at T Narasipura, some 30 km out; the tempo traveller simply crosses the bridge. The town is famous for the confluence of the Kaveri and the Kapila, and once every three years, in February, a Kumbh Mela floods its roads with pilgrims. On any other day it takes only a few minutes to pass. The family's breakfast is planned for Kollegal, another half hour along. Children can keep dozing through it.
Group breakfast
Kollegal is the breakfast halt for the family, about 60 km from Mysore. Thirty minutes covers a meal and the restrooms for a dozen people. The town is a taluk headquarters of Chamarajanagar district, and Gundal dam lies about 15 km away, though there is no time for it today. NH 948 from here leads towards Coimbatore, while the tempo traveller takes the road through Hanur. Fill water cans before the forest.
Water and restrooms
Hanur, on the Karnataka side, is the last place with shops and toilets before the forest, so the family halts for fifteen minutes. During MM Hills festival weeks, as in March, police have barred two wheelers and autos beyond Kowdalli, and pilgrim buses fill the road, so we check the calendar. From here the road winds through forest towards Palar on the border, with few places to stop for about 95 km.
Lunch at Mettur
Mettur, about 180 km from Mysore, is where the family has lunch. Forty five minutes allows a meal and a short walk. The reservoir behind the dam is the Stanley Reservoir, and when the water runs low, the tops of an old church, a Nandi and fort ruins from drowned villages show above it. Mettur is also called the aluminium city of Tamil Nadu. Salem is about 50 km further.
Drop for the family
After roughly four and a half hours the tempo traveller sets the family down at one hotel or home in Salem. More than 75,000 handlooms work in this city, so silk and cotton shopping is easy. In season, mangoes are everywhere, and javvarisi, the local sago made from tapioca, is sold in packets. Anyone flying on has the airport at Kamalapuram, some 20 km from the centre. The driver helps carry bags to the lobby.

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. 👍

Salem lies about 230 km from Mysore, close to 460 km if you return the same way. The tempo traveller takes T Narasipura and Kollegal, then Hanur and the forest road to Mettur, and on to Salem. With a family on board, count on about four and a half hours of driving to get there.
No, they are extra with parking and GST.
Salem with that group: the 14 or 16 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, that works. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes. The ghat has many bends; we go up by day.
October to February is the most comfortable. Salem is very hot from March to May, with April the worst, and gets rain from both monsoons. In late July or early August, Aadi Perukku brings crowds to the river at Mettur, which can slow the lunch halt. We plan the day so the forest part near the border is crossed in daylight.
Yes, with the halts we plan: breakfast at Kollegal, a short break at Hanur and lunch at Mettur. No stretch runs much over two hours. The forest road after Hanur has bends, so elders who feel motion sickness should sit in the front row. Carry their medicines in a hand bag, not in the luggage.
