Pickup in Mysuru
We meet the group at the hotel, a family home or the Mandakalli airport, and the Urbania sets off along the T Narasipura road. For an early start, a Mysore masala dosa with its red chutney spread inside is quick to eat or pack. Salem lies about 230 km away, around four and a half hours, with the border forest best crossed in daylight. The rear of the van takes one bag per person.
Drive on
The Urbania passes T Narasipura about 30 km out. The town is a taluk headquarters with two old temples by the river, the Gunja Narasimha and the older Agasthyeshwara, which share an annual jatra. A group with elders may want a quick stop here on the return instead, when there is less pressure on time. For now the van keeps going towards Kollegal, about 30 km on. Elders can use the restroom at Kollegal instead.
Breakfast halt
Kollegal is the Urbania's breakfast stop, and twenty five minutes is kind to elders. The district hopes to sell its silk under a Kollegal brand, just as Mysore silk is known, and sarees from the pit looms are on sale in town. Standing at around 590 to 660 m, Kollegal still gets hot by noon in summer. After the meal the van heads through Hanur towards the state border. Elders should use the restrooms before leaving.
Short halt
Ten minutes at Hanur lets elders use a restroom before the forest. MM Hills temple lies inside this taluk. Beyond the town the road threads the sanctuary to Palar, where Karnataka ends, and then drops to Mettur. Officials have proposed shutting the Cauvery and MM Hills sanctuary roads to all traffic overnight, and in any case the Urbania plans this section for daylight hours. Buy fruit and water here for the forest stretch.
Lunch
Lunch for the Urbania group is in Mettur, with forty minutes so elders can eat slowly and rest in the shade. The park below the dam opens somewhere between 8 and 9 am and closes around 6 pm; check at the gate, since sources differ. The dam wall runs for about 1,700 m. Erode, Salem and Dharmapuri districts meet at this town, and Salem is roughly 50 km ahead. Elders can rest in the shade near the park gate.
Drop at your stay
Around 5 to 5.5 hours after the start, the Urbania leaves the group at one hotel in Salem, and the driver carries the bags in. The city sits on NH 44, and roads to Kochi, Ulundurpet and Jolarpettai branch from it, which makes Salem a handy base for onward travel. For dinner, ask for biryani or chicken varuval. Salem silk makes a good gift. The summer months are scorching. The driver helps with the bags at the door.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

By road Salem is about 230 km from Mysore, about 460 km for the round trip. The Urbania runs via T Narasipura, Kollegal and Hanur, crosses the forest to Mettur and then goes on to Salem. Allow about four and a half hours behind the wheel to reach the city.
The 12 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Just for driving through the night. That comes to ₹700 a night.
It is a winding two-lane road; the Urbania rides it comfortably.
Tolls, parking, GST and the permit.
On request, yes. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
The cooler months, October to February. From March to May Salem is very hot, and April is the peak. The southwest monsoon arrives from mid June and the northeast monsoon later, so Salem gets rain from both. Mettur dam usually opens in June, and the river side gets busy. We plan the forest crossing in daylight in every season.
One medium bag per person goes in the back, plus a few soft bags. If the group is carrying gifts, silk purchases or boxes, tell us at booking so we keep a seat row free or pick the bigger Urbania. Keep medicines and documents in hand bags, since the luggage is loaded first and unloaded last.
