Pickup at your door
The Urbania stops at your gate in Mysuru at 7 am, so elders do not walk far with bags. It goes round the city on the outer ring road, which is about 41.5 km long, and joins the Hunsur road without the town traffic. Thalassery is about 190 km away, so plan a relaxed day with two halts. If the trip falls during Dasara in September or October, expect police diversions on the exits and add some time. Water, medicines and a shawl for the air conditioning stay near the seats.

Short stop
Hunsur, about 45 km from Mysore, is a short ten minute stop for elders to stretch. It is a quiet town with simple hotels, and the Rabgayling Tibetan settlement at Gurupura, set up in 1971 with three monasteries, lies about 12 km away, a visit for another day. Nagarhole is reached from Hunsur by side roads, so you may see forest department vehicles here. The Urbania then takes the state highway towards Gonikoppal; the road is mostly level until Virajpet, so it is an easy stretch to rest.

Breakfast
Gonikoppal comes at about 90 km and is where the family has breakfast, with half an hour so nobody hurries. It is the main shopping town of south Kodagu, in Ponnampet taluk. Estate coffee powder and pepper make good gifts for relatives in Kerala. Kannur airport is about 70 km from here and Mysore railway station about 90 km, so the town is a midway mark. The Urbania can wait close to the hotel door. Virajpet is about 20 km on, then the road begins to drop.

Before the descent
At Virajpet, about 110 km from Mysore, the Urbania halts ten minutes before the Makutta ghat. St Anne's church, built in 1792 with a Gothic spire, is right in town if anyone wants a look. Kannur and Thalassery stations are about 80 km from here, and Virajpet itself has no railway. The ghat below is green and winding, and in some monsoons it has been shut for slips, so we confirm it is open. Elders who feel unwell on bends should sit near the front.

Tea in Iritty
Iritty, roughly 145 km out, is the first Kerala town of any size and a gentle fifteen minute tea stop after the ghat. The Bavali river runs past the town, crossed by a steel bridge from 1933. Kottiyoor and the Palchuram road to Wayanad are in this taluk, so you will see signboards for both. Kannur airport at Mattannur is about 20 km from here. The Urbania has about 45 km left, through farms of rubber, pepper and cashew, before Thalassery and the sea.

Arrival
The Urbania reaches Thalassery about four and a half hours after leaving Mysore, roughly 190 km in all, and stops at the hotel entrance so elders step straight in. Thalassery biryani is the meal the town is known for; ask for it mild if elders prefer. Bakeries here are old and well stocked, which suits a quiet evening snack. Kannur is about 22 km away and Kozhikode about 66 km, so relatives in either town are within an easy drive the next day.
Taking the family to Thalassery for a function or a holiday? The Mysore to Thalassery Force Urbania gives elders a calm ride through Kodagu and down to the coast. Book a Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

The road distance is about 190 km each way, around 380 km in total, through south Kodagu by Gonikoppal and Virajpet and down the Makutta ghat to Iritty. The Force Urbania takes about four and a half hours with three gentle halts, which suits elders who need breaks.
At 600 km for 2 days: any Urbania size ₹25,400 (₹40/km). On top come ₹700 a day for the driver, tolls, the Kerala permit and GST.
The 13 seater, with space for bags. Sizes and rates are on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Our partner owners send the van with its driver, and everything else, quote, booking and support, stays with Tejas Tours & Travels.
Yes. Three days are billed at 900 km with the allowance for each day, and local runs in Thalassery count in those km.
It can be booked. Add ₹2 a km to the round trip rate, and we confirm the km and the total in writing before the trip.
It is longer in the rain. Kodagu gets heavy showers from June to September, and the Makutta ghat after Virajpet is slower and misty. We plan three halts, keep the speed gentle and check the ghat the day before. Elders should carry a light shawl, because the hills are cool even when the coast is warm.
We avoid it. The ghat between Virajpet and Iritty has sharp bends and little lighting, and wildlife crosses Kodagu roads after dark. Leave Mysore early and plan to arrive in Thalassery by afternoon. On the way back, start after breakfast so the whole drive ends before nightfall.
