Group pickup
One meeting point works best for a tempo traveller group, for example Mysore Junction or a family member's house, and the van collects everyone from there at 6:30 am. Bags go behind the last row. Breakfast in Mysore is easy if the group wants to eat first: idli sambar, masala dosa or kesari bath are served early across the city. The van then takes the Hunsur road west. Thalassery is about 190 km away, and the Makutta ghat after Virajpet is best covered before the afternoon rain sets in.
Tea halt
About 45 km into the trip, Hunsur makes a good fifteen minute tea halt for the van. The town lives on teak and tobacco, and the ICAR tobacco research station is here. It is also the turn for the Nagarhole side gates, which is why the forest office for the park sits in Hunsur. Plain hotels on the main road serve tea quickly. From here the van leaves the Kushalnagar highway and follows the road towards Gonikoppal and Virajpet, the usual route into north Kerala.
Breakfast halt
Gonikoppal, around 90 km from Mysore, is the commercial hub of south Kodagu and a comfortable breakfast stop for 9 to 20 people; plan thirty minutes. In the monsoon months the Barapole river nearby is used for white water rafting, which some younger groups add on the way back. Coffee and pepper from the local estates are sold in town if anyone wants to buy. Buses for Kannur and Kozhikode also run through here, so the main road is busy; the van parks on a side lane.
Restroom halt
Virajpet is about 110 km out and the last Karnataka town before the descent. Ten minutes covers a restroom stop. The town gets heavy rain, about 2,590 mm in 2022, while April and May afternoons can pass 34 C, so pack for both. Chelavara falls and the Nalknad palace are in this taluk, both better as separate trips. The road ahead, SH 91, drops through the Makutta ghat into Kerala, and the driver takes the bends in a lower gear with a loaded van.
Kerala side break
Iritty, about 145 km out, is a taluk town on the Bavali river and a handy fifteen minute break after the ghat. Roads from Kannur, Thalassery, Mahe, Taliparamba and Virajpet all meet here, each at a similar distance. Kerala buses also run from here over the Palchuram ghat to Mananthavady. Pepper, rubber and cashew farms line the road. The van has about 45 km left to Thalassery, mostly through small towns, so this is the place for a last stretch.
Arrival
After about four and a half hours and 190 km, the van reaches Thalassery and drops the group at the hotel or the function hall. Thalassery biryani, made with kaima rice, is the lunch to order, and the old bakeries sell snacks for the room. The town is called an early home of cricket in India, so the old ground may interest the youngsters. Kannur International Airport is about 24 km east if anyone flies back. Parking near the hotel is easier for a van than for a coach.

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. 👍

Thalassery is roughly 190 km from Mysore by Hunsur, Virajpet and Iritty, about 380 km both ways. A tempo traveller with a full group takes about four and a half hours, with tea at Hunsur, breakfast at Gonikoppal and a short break at Iritty after the Makutta ghat.
Billed at 600 km for 2 days: 12 seater ₹15,600 (₹24/km). Driver allowance ₹600 per day; tolls, the Kerala permit and GST at actual.
The 17 seater, with bags behind the last row. Compare every size on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Sure. For a single journey we charge ₹2 a km over the round trip rate and put the total in writing before you pay.
Yes. Kannur is about 22 km from Thalassery, so a half day there adds only a few km to the bill.
Yes. It is the usual road from Virajpet to Kerala, and the driver takes it slowly with a full van.
October to March is the easiest, with dry roads and pleasant evenings on the coast. From June to September Kodagu gets very heavy rain, the ghat is slower and the sea is rough, though the hills look their best. April and May are hot on the Kerala side, so start early and keep the afternoons for rest.
In a 17 seater, one medium bag per person fits behind the last row, with gifts and garment bags laid flat on top. For heavy wedding luggage, take the 20 seater or keep a few seats free. Fragile items like sweets boxes ride on laps or under the front seats, not in the back pile.
