Pickup for the family
We collect families from their homes, a palace side hotel, the station, the suburban bus stand or Mandakalli airport. Bags go behind the last row, and pillows help on a seven hour day. Kannada is the language at the Mysore end, Tamil after the border and Malayalam in Kerala, and our driver handles the talking at every halt. Leave at 5:30. The van takes the ring road to the Nanjangud road and then heads for Chamarajanagar, 60 km away.

Fuel and restroom
Chamarajanagar is the last Karnataka town before the forest, so the tempo traveller fills diesel here and the family uses the restroom. The Chamarajeshwara temple in the centre, with its tall gopura, was begun in 1825 by Krishnaraja Wodeyar III for his father. Tea stalls near the bus stand open early. After this halt there is no safe stop for about 70 km, through Hasanur and the Dhimbam ghat, till Bannari on the plains.

Forest stretch
The van passes Hasanur, 105 km out, inside the Sathyamangalam sanctuary in Erode district, without stopping. This forest is home to elephants and tigers, and over 850 elephants have been counted in the reserve, so children should look out of the windows rather than step out. The Dhimbam ghat starts right after, 27 hairpin bends down to Bannari. Ask anyone who feels sick on bends to sit in front and look ahead. Thrissur lies roughly 220 km past Hasanur for the family.

Breakfast
Sathyamangalam, 140 km from Mysore, is breakfast for the family. Tamil hotels on the highway serve idli and dosa quickly. The town is on the Bhavani river with wet paddy land on both banks, a nice sight after the forest. This is the place to wash up and change children's clothes if needed. Coimbatore is 65 km on, and lunch is planned there. Keep the breakfast light for anyone who felt the hairpins. Thrissur is still about 185 km away.

Lunch
Coimbatore, 205 km from Mysore, is lunch, about 40 minutes for the family. Many hotels here still serve meals on a banana leaf, with idli, dosa, paniyaram and appam as the common dishes. The van uses the NH544 bypass to save time, so lunch is at a hotel on the outskirts. The Kerala border at Walayar is about 28 km ahead. Thrissur is roughly two hours from here. Children can stretch their legs in the hotel garden.

Kerala check post
Past Walayar, where the tempo traveller's permit and tax slips are checked, often online these days, the family reaches Palakkad at 260 km. Red Palakkadan Matta rice grows only in this district, and shops sell kondattam and murukku made from it, which children enjoy. A quarter hour of tea and stretching here sets everyone up for the last 66 km on NH544 into Thrissur, with road signs now in Malayalam and English. Thrissur lies roughly 65 km past Palakkad for the family.

Family drop
7.5 to 8 hours after Mysore, the tempo traveller stops at your Thrissur hotel or family home. Next morning, try puttu or idiyappam with egg curry, or appam with stew, the Kerala way to start a day. Wedding shoppers will find the city's silk and gold jewellery shops close together. December to February is the cool dry season; March to May turns hot and sticky. From Thrissur the family returns the same 325 km.

About 325 km one way from Mysore, or about 650 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by Chamarajanagar, the Hasanur forest and the Dhimbam ghat to Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore, then Walayar and Palakkad into Thrissur. Driving time is about 7.5 to 8 hours with breakfast and lunch.
Not included. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.

Yes. It is about 60 km from Thrissur. Keep a full day.
Yes, on request. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
The southwest monsoon hits Thrissur from June to September, and the retreating rain comes in October and November. The highway from Palakkad is good, but Thrissur town sits only about 3 m above the sea and low streets can flood after heavy rain. The tempo traveller goes slower on the Dhimbam ghat in the wet. December to February is the easiest season.
Yes, with our halts. The van stops at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore and Palakkad, so no stretch is longer than about an hour and a half. Give children a light breakfast before the hairpins and keep snacks and a change of clothes in a hand bag. The forest stretch keeps them busy looking for elephants.
