Meeting point
Ask your temple group of twenty to gather by 4:45 am at one spot, a palace side hotel, Mysore Junction or a community hall. Groups going to Chola temples often carry an offering from home: a silk piece from the KSIC silk outlet on Manandavadi Road, or sandalwood incense from the government factory in Ashokapuram. Both close in the evening, so buy the day before. At 5 the mini bus leaves south past Nanjangud for Chamarajanagar, with Thanjavur a full day away.
Breakfast
Breakfast comes at Chamarajanagar after 60 km. The trick with twenty people is to order while the mini bus is still parking; then idli, vada and coffee for everyone take half an hour. Temple lovers may want to come back one day for Yelandur, about 20 km off towards Kollegal, whose Gaurishvara temple has chains carved from stone. Before the forest, the driver fills the tank and the coordinator counts heads. Then the mini bus climbs towards Hasanur.
Tea
At the bottom of the ghat, the mini bus stops in Sathyamangalam, 145 km from Mysore, for fifteen minutes of tea and the restroom. The forest behind is a tiger reserve where the Western and Eastern Ghats meet, home to 80 tigers in the 2018 count, so nobody gets off until town. Buses leave Sathyamangalam all day for Erode and Coimbatore. From here the road runs across the plains, through Gobichettipalayam, towards Erode.
Restroom halt
A fifteen minute restroom halt at Erode, 215 km out, keeps the group fresh for the afternoon. The mini bus stays near NH544, which takes traffic round the city. Erode's cloth market draws traders from all over India, and Bhavani nearby weaves jamakkalam carpets with a GI tag. Chennimalai hill temple is about 30 km away, an extra darshan for a slower trip. Lunch is booked at Karur, about 65 km on.
Lunch
Twenty people sit down together for lunch at a Karur highway hotel, 280 km from home, and forty five minutes is enough. Coach bodies and cotton cloth keep this town busy. Locals head up into the Kadavur hills on holidays to picnic at Ponnaniyar dam near Pooncholai, worth knowing for a future trip. Refill water before boarding, since afternoons on the plains are warm. The mini bus then runs east beside the Kaveri towards Trichy.
Tea
Trichy, after 360 km, is the afternoon tea stop, twenty minutes for twenty people. The Rockfort, with the Ucchi Pillayar temple on top, rises right in the city, a climb for another day. Trichy is known for polished Ponni rice from the mills of Manachanallur, a useful buy for the kitchen, and mangoes are sold on Mambazha Salai in season. Thanjavur is about 55 km further, so the group arrives before dinner.
Group drop
The mini bus reaches Thanjavur by evening, about 9.5 to 10 hours after leaving Mysore, and drops the group at one hotel. Simple South Indian food is easy to find; next day's lunch will likely be a banana leaf meal. Thanjavur is famous for its dancing dolls and Tanjore paintings, and bell metal art plates make a fine group memento. Every October the town holds Sathaya Thiruvizha for Raja Raja Chola's birthday, when it is busy, so book rooms early then.
A temple tour for 20 people? Take a Mysore to Thanjavur mini bus. Thanjavur (Tanjore) is around 415 km away through the Sathyamangalam forest and the Kaveri delta. Book it through our mini bus on rent in Mysore desk, open since 2009. We pick you up in Mysuru at hotels near Mysore Palace or Mysore railway station.

Thanjavur lies about 415 km from Mysore, close to 830 km for the full trip. Our mini bus crosses the forest and the Dhimbam ghat in the morning and follows the river plains through Karur and Trichy in the afternoon. It is a one day drive of about 9.5 to 10 hours with stops.
Yes, by day. The hairpins are tight, so the driver goes slow.
For Thanjavur, up to 16 the 16 seater, near 20 the 20 seater, 22 to 25 the 22 or 25 seater. Every size is on our mini bus on rent in Mysore page.
Yes, quoted when you ask. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
No. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.
Driving after 10 pm adds a night allowance for the driver, as per the quote. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Yes, it can. The Kaveri water issue between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu flares up from time to time, and protests or a bandh in Mysore can stop vehicles bound for Tamil Nadu at the city exits. We read the news the evening before the trip. If a bandh is announced, we fix a new time or date with you rather than keep twenty people waiting.
Seniors sit in the front rows, where the ride is smoothest, and we halt at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Erode, Karur and Trichy, so nobody sits more than about two hours. Lunch is unhurried. The only slow part is the forest and the ghat after breakfast. At Thanjavur the group stays in one hotel, and temple visits start fresh the next morning.
