Pickup at your door
At half past five the tempo traveller pulls up at your door, your hotel or the airport at Mandakalli. Families visiting Tirunelveli often bring a Mysore silk saree or sandalwood for the hosts; buy those the day before at the silk outlets or the government Sandalwood Oil Factory in Ashokapuram, since nothing opens that early. The van heads down the Nanjangud road and branches off for Chamarajanagar. We break the 565 km into two days, with Madurai in the middle, so pack one small night bag per family.
Breakfast
Chamarajanagar, 60 km from Mysore, is breakfast, and thirty minutes is right for twelve people. The hotels around the bus stand serve idli, vada and coffee. If the children ask about a lake, the Suvarnavathi dam is about 16 km out of town, but not on today's road. Make everyone use the restroom here, because the forest and ghat stretch that follows has no proper stop for about two hours. The driver fills diesel before leaving town.
Tea after the ghat
At Sathyamangalam, 140 km from Mysore, the van has come through the tiger reserve, about 1,408 sq km of forest where the Western and Eastern Ghats meet. It is the biggest wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, so the driver does not stop inside it. In town, fifteen minutes covers tea for the group. Paddy fields line the Bhavani from here on, and the road is level all the way south. Erode is about 65 km on, through Gobichettipalayam.
Tea and restroom
Erode, 205 km out, is a fifteen minute halt. The handloom and knitwear trade makes it a textile hub, and you will see cloth bundles piled outside shops. Just outside the city is the Vellode bird sanctuary, and in the city the memorial house of Periyar, both for a slower day. Children can have a dosa or parotta, cheap and quick, and the van parks near the highway to avoid the city traffic. Lunch is at Karur, 65 km ahead.
Lunch
Karur, 270 km from Mysore, is lunch on the first day. Forty five minutes lets twelve people eat and rest. The town lies where the Amaravathi meets the plains of the Kaveri, and in the dry months the riverbed is mostly sand. Karur is the centre of bus body building, and tempo travellers and coaches stand half built in the yards. Towels and sheets from the local mills are good value. After lunch, NH44 runs south to Dindigul.
Tea
Dindigul, 345 km from Mysore, is the afternoon tea stop. Fifteen minutes is enough. The rock fort above the town was put up in 1605 by Muthu Krishnappa Nayakar of Madurai; it is an ASI monument, and the climb suits a return day. Dindigul is a lock and leather town, and the vegetable market is the largest in the state, so fresh fruit is easy to buy. Madurai, the night halt, is about 65 km ahead.
Night halt
Madurai, 410 km from Mysore, is where the family sleeps. Choose a hotel with parking for the van. For the Meenakshi temple, go in the evening, before about 10 pm; leave phones at the counter and dress modestly. The golden lotus tank inside the temple is where families sit for a while. For dinner, the city is known for kothu parotta and jigarthanda. Next morning, leave after breakfast; Tirunelveli is about 155 km on NH44.
Tea and candy
Day two's tea comes at Kovilpatti, 510 km out on NH44, just past Virudhunagar. While the adults drink tea, children can pick packets of kadalai mittai, Kovilpatti's GI tagged peanut candy, sweet and crunchy. The weather here stays hot and dry, roughly 22 to 37 deg C across the year. Off the highway, on the road towards Sankarankovil, the rock temples of Kalugumalai make a fine detour on a slower trip. Tirunelveli lies about 55 km ahead.
Hotel drop
The van reaches Tirunelveli before lunch on day two, after about 12 to 12.5 hours of driving in all from Mysore. We drop the family at one hotel or at the function venue. Buy Tirunelveli halwa, the wheat and ghee sweet, from the old shops. The city is on the Thamirabarani, with state highways to Thoothukudi and Tiruchendur if the plan goes on. Most rain falls from October to December, and May is the hottest month.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Tirunelveli, also called Nellai, is around 565 km from Mysore by road; a return comes to about 1,130 km. The van takes the forest road beyond Chamarajanagar, eases down the Dhimbam ghat and crosses the plains past Karur to Madurai, where the family spends the night. From there NH44 runs south past Kovilpatti. Expect roughly 12 to 12.5 hours of driving in total, spread across two days.
Tirunelveli one way: on request, at ₹2 a km over the return rate, quoted in writing.
Tirunelveli: the 16 seater, as luggage needs the spare seats. This trip comes to ₹38,400 for 1,200 km at ₹32/km, and ₹2,400 driver allowance. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Tirunelveli: driving after 10 pm adds our driver night bata, ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
No. Tolls, parking and GST are extra at actual cost. Out of state, the permit is extra too.
Where an out of state permit or tax applies, we pay it at the border and add it at actual cost.
Tirunelveli and Madurai get most of their rain from October to December, from the northeast monsoon, which is the opposite of Mysore's season. Heavy showers slow the highway, and the Thamirabarani can rise. The roads stay open, but we add an hour to the plan. January to March is dry and the best time for a family trip by van.
The only hilly part is the Dhimbam ghat, 27 hairpin bends after the Hasanur forest. Give children a light breakfast at Chamarajanagar, seat them in front rows by a window and keep a bag and water handy. The driver takes the bends slowly. The ghat takes under an hour, and after Sathyamangalam the road is flat all the way to Tirunelveli.
