The Urbania collects the elders at 5 am from a hotel near the zoo or palace, the city bus stand or a family home. If anyone wants a Mysore breakfast before leaving, the city's masala dosa, with its red chutney inside, is served early in a few places, but most groups eat at Chamarajanagar. Carry a box of Mysore pak as a gift for the temple town. The Urbania runs south by Nanjangud and across to Chamarajanagar. Thanjavur is about 415 km, one long but gentle day.
Breakfast
Sixty km from home, Chamarajanagar gives the elders an unhurried breakfast, half an hour of idli, vada and coffee at a tiffin room near the bus stand. Locals will point you to the Suvarnavathi dam, some 16 km from town, as a pleasant spot for a short outing from Mysore another day. Before the Urbania sets off, everyone should visit the restroom; the climb through the Hasanur forest and down the ghat has no clean halt. Diesel is filled while you eat.
Tea after the ghat
The Urbania takes the Dhimbam bends slowly and passes Bannari, where the rain goddess Bannari Amman has her temple at the foot of the slope. A few minutes on, Sathyamangalam, 145 km from Mysore, gives the group fifteen minutes for tea. This farming town on the Bhavani has buses all day to Erode, Coimbatore and Mysore. Elders who dozed through the ghat can wake for a hot cup; the rest of the drive is flat.
Short halt
Erode, reached at 215 km, gives the elders a coffee and a restroom, with the Urbania parked by the highway. The city's coconut oil trade is enormous, and cans of fresh oil sit outside many shops. Temple minded guests can plan the Sangameswarar shrine at Bhavani, about 12 km away, where the Kaveri and Bhavani rivers join; its car festival goes on for 13 days in April and May. Karur and lunch come after about 65 km.
Lunch
Lunch is at Karur, 280 km out, and we allow forty five minutes so the elders can sit back under a fan after eating. For a darshan, the Pasupatheeswarar temple of Shiva is close to the town centre. Karur's looms turn out towels and bed sheets, sold cheaply. If a guest has to fly home, Trichy airport is roughly 78 km away. After the meal, the Urbania follows the Kaveri east past green paddy fields towards Trichy.
Tea
Trichy, 360 km out, is the tea stop, twenty minutes so elders can stretch. The Rockfort temple stands on a rock in the middle of the city, and up there the wind is cool, but the steps are many, so elders should leave the climb for another trip. The Grand Anicut, Kallanai, about 2,000 years old, is on the Kaveri about 18 km from Uraiyur. Mangoes are sold on Mambazha Salai in season. Thanjavur is about 55 km on.
Hotel drop
The Urbania reaches Thanjavur by early evening, about 8.5 hours after Mysore, and stops at the hotel door. Let the elders rest before any outing. For dinner, the town's food is simple South Indian fare. Thanjavur is known for bell metal art plates, Tanjore paintings and the veena, good gifts to take home. If anyone wants music, the Tyagaraja Aradhana festival is held at Thiruvaiyaru, about 13 km away, in January and February.

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.

It is roughly 415 km by road from Mysore to Thanjavur, near 830 km for a return. The Urbania leaves by Chamarajanagar, comes down at Bannari, and travels the Kaveri valley via Karur and Trichy. Driving time is about 8.5 hours, with halts every hour or two so elders are never seated too long.
If the driver drives after 10 pm, a night allowance is added. The amount is in your quote. The Urbania night bata is ₹700.
For 8 or 9 people, the 10 seater. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. For 10 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater. For 16 to Thanjavur, book the 16 seater.
Not included. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Yes, that works. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
Yes. The courtyard is flat but the stone gets hot; go early or late.
It is the hottest time. From April to June, Trichy and Karur are very hot, and the plains hold the heat through the afternoon. The Urbania is AC, but halts in the sun tire elders. If summer is the only option, we keep stops short and in the shade and plan sightseeing in Thanjavur for early morning and evening. November to February is far more pleasant.
It is possible but tiring, about 8.5 hours of driving each way. The return also has to clear the Dhimbam ghat and the Sathyamangalam forest before evening, since night traffic there has been banned in the past and animals cross after dark. So a same day return means leaving Thanjavur very early. Most families with elders stay at least one night and return next morning.
