Door pickup
The cab reaches your door at six, fuelled the night before, and the city slips by quickly at that hour. On the expressway a car covers the whole six lane run in about ninety minutes in light traffic, so the long part of the day starts beyond NICE Road. By car, Tiruvannamalai is about seven hours away with halts, leaving the afternoon free. Pack white or light clothes for the temple town, and a shawl for early mornings.
Vada and coffee
After about an hour the car comes off at the Maddur exit for a quick breakfast. The town's name travels with its vada, a flat crisp fritter of rice flour and semolina with onion and curry leaves, best eaten hot with coffee. Maddur sits on the Shimsha, which people here call Madduru Hole. Fifteen minutes is plenty for a small family. Then the car goes back onto the expressway and heads for the ring road round the city.
Into Tamil Nadu
From Electronic City the car runs down Hosur Road, pays at the Attibele plaza and crosses into Tamil Nadu. At the check post near Hosur the driver pays the tourist vehicle tax, ten minutes at most. Hosur sits about 880 m up, so even midday is not harsh. The Chandra Choodeswarar temple on the hill above town is the one with a golden chariot. Then NH44 runs on to Krishnagiri, about 50 km.
Turn for Tiruvannamalai
Krishnagiri is the junction where NH77 branches off for Tiruvannamalai and Puducherry, and the car takes it. Stop here for tea and fruit; the district is Tamil Nadu's top mango grower, and stalls sell pulp all year. The town sits under granite hills crowned by an old fort. The Hosur stretch behind you is being widened, which explains the diversions. From here it is about 110 km, mostly two lane, to the temple town.
Drive on
Beyond Krishnagiri the highway drops off the plateau, and by Uthangarai, at roughly 360 m, the air is clearly warmer. This modest town at the far edge of Krishnagiri district is known locally for its schools and colleges and has a SIPCOT estate. A riverside shrine, Hanumantheertham, stands on the Pennaiyar some 10 km off the road, a stop to keep for the return. Today the car rolls straight through; Chengam is about 25 km on.
Short halt
Chengam sits in the gap where the Javadhu hills meet the Chennakesava range, and the Javadhu slopes rise to your left. It marks the halfway point of the Puducherry highway. Local tradition holds that the plan of the big Tiruvannamalai temple was copied from Chengam's Venugopala Parthasarathy Perumal shrine. A ten minute tea or restroom stop is enough if anyone asks for it. The last 35 to 40 km follow the plain to the holy hill.
Lodge drop
Seven hours from Mysore, halts included, the car pulls up at your lodge, and the driver stays close by. Walking the 14 km circuit of Arunachala, the Girivalam, needs three to five hours; the route has lights after dark and public toilets. On a full moon the crowds are so large that roads shut to traffic and rooms run out, so book ahead or pick another date. Vegetarian eateries are on every street. Summer afternoons are best spent indoors.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Tiruvannamalai is about 350 km from Mysore, so about 700 km there and back. The cab takes the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road to Hosur, NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH77 through Uthangarai and Chengam. By car, plan on about seven hours with halts.
Driving late at night means a night allowance for the driver. It is shown in the quote. The cab night bata is ₹400.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Add a day. Pondicherry is around 100 km on via Gingee.
Yes, ask us. One way is ₹2 more per km than a return, and the km and allowance come on paper.
No. Tiruvannamalai over 3 days and 900 km: Dzire ₹12,000 Etios ₹13,800 Innova ₹17,400 Crysta ₹19,200. Night driver allowance, tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST are extra at cost.
On ordinary weekdays away from the full moon. At least ten lakh people walk round the hill on full moon days, and Karthigai Deepam in November or December is the biggest festival of the year. April to June is very hot; October to December brings most of the rain. A weekday in January or February is calm and cool.
The full path is about 14 km and takes three to five hours, which is hard for many elders. They can walk part of it while the car waits at an agreed point and then picks them up. On full moon days vehicles are kept off the path, so plan elders' walks for other days.
