One gate
A heritage class of forty five boards one coach at one gate, the college, Mysore Junction or the airport at Mandakalli, at 5 am sharp. Teachers bringing students from north India should know that Mysore speaks Kannada and Hindi is not widely understood away from tourist places, so let our driver and office do the talking. Big bags go in the hold, day bags stay with the students. The coach heads out by Nanjangud towards Chamarajanagar, with Thanjavur about 415 km away.

Breakfast
The class eats breakfast at Chamarajanagar, sixty km on, in two sittings at a roadside hotel that is used to coaches; plan forty minutes for idli, vada and coffee. If students ask about BR Hills, explain that it is reached from this town through K Gudi, about 40 km of forest, and needs its own trip. Today the coach heads south through Hasanur instead. Before that, the tank is filled, since the forest has no pump, and teachers count heads.

Tea after the ghat
A long coach needs time on the Dhimbam ghat: 27 hairpins, taken one by one in a low gear. Students may wonder whether big vehicles are allowed; heavy lorries on 12 or more wheels are banned from this ghat, but buses are not, and regular buses run between Sathyamangalam and Mysore all day. Down at Sathyamangalam, 145 km out, the class has fifteen minutes for tea and a restroom before the long run across the plains to Erode.

Restroom halt
At Erode, 215 km from Mysore, the coach stops fifteen minutes on the bypass so forty people can use the restroom. Erode is a turmeric and textile city, and its bus stand links almost every town in Tamil Nadu. For a geography class, it is worth noting that the city stands on the Kaveri, the river the coach follows all afternoon into its delta. Karur, where lunch is booked, is about 65 km on.

Lunch
Karur, 280 km from Mysore, is lunch, and the coach stops a full hour because forty five students eat in two sittings. Point out the yards on the way in: this town builds a big share of the country's buses, perhaps even the one you are riding in. The Amaravathi, the Kaveri and the Noyyal all pass near Karur, a neat fact for the geography teacher. After lunch the coach turns east along the Kaveri valley for Trichy, about 80 km away.

Tea
Trichy, 360 km from Mysore, is the afternoon tea stop. Students will see the Rockfort, a rock about 83 m high in the middle of the city, with 344 steps cut into the stone; the climb fits a sightseeing day, not today. Kallanai, the Grand Anicut, about 2,000 years old, lies on the Kaveri some 18 km from Uraiyur, a fine stop for a history class. Thanjavur is about 55 km on.

Group drop
After about 10.5 hours of driving, the coach brings the class into Thanjavur in the evening and drops everyone at the hotel. Mornings here start with idli and dosa, and lunch usually comes on banana leaves, which students enjoy. The famous souvenir is the Thanjavur doll whose head keeps nodding. Paddy fields all round show why Thanjavur is called the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu. The coach stays with the class for the sightseeing days that follow.

A coach covers about 415 km from Mysore to Thanjavur, around 830 km in all. The day starts with the forest and the Dhimbam ghat and continues across the Kaveri plains via Erode, Karur and Trichy. With stops for forty, it takes about 10.5 hours, so the coach leaves at 5 am and arrives in the evening.
Yes, that works. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
Yes, near the temple. On festival days the bus drops you and parks a little away.
Not included. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Thanjavur groups below 35 take the 33 or 35 seater, near 40 the 40 seater, 45 to 50 the 45, 49 or 50 seater. Sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, past 10 pm a night allowance is charged. Plan the start time and it rarely comes up. Night bata: ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size.
It can complicate things. During the ten days of Dasara, in September or October, the city centre has one way rules and no parking zones, and private buses have been kept out in the evenings. We load the coach at a gate outside the centre at 5 am and suggest avoiding Vijayadashami itself as the departure day.
A small bag on the seat with water, a cap, snacks, medicines and a light shawl for the AC. Suitcases stay in the hold until Thanjavur. Each student should carry an ID card and the teacher's phone number. At every halt the teachers do a head count before the coach moves.
