Two pickups
The mini bus collects the group from no more than two points and leaves at half past five, which gets it round the city before office traffic. Diesel and drinking water are loaded the evening before. The first toll after leaving Mysore is Gananguru, just past Srirangapatna. Twenty passengers with small bags fit easily, and larger bags go at the back. Allow about eight hours for the whole run, halts included.

Breakfast
The group breakfasts at Maddur. Because the expressway passes outside the town, the mini bus takes the exit to the service road, where hotels used to feeding bus loads can serve twenty quickly. Maddur vada and coffee all round. A bird loving group could come back another day for Kokkarebellur, about 12 km away, where painted storks and pelicans nest in village trees. Thirty minutes, then a head count. Restrooms are clean at the bigger hotels.

Permit and tea
Near Hosur, just over the state line, the mini bus waits while the road tax is paid at the check post, and the group takes tea at a hotel with space to park. Hosur sees rain from both the southwest and the northeast monsoon, so the road can be wet in many months. Thally, a village near Hosur that the British nicknamed Little England for its cool climate, is an idea for another outing. Then on to Krishnagiri.

Group lunch
Lunch for twenty is booked at Krishnagiri, at a hotel with room for the bus. Afterwards the mini bus leaves NH44 for NH77, the road to Tiruvannamalai. Krishnagiri holds a mango exhibition every year, and in season the stalls by the highway are piled high. Anyone with a farm may like the mango nurseries around Santhur village, about 150 of them. Forty five minutes, then names are checked before the bus moves.

Through Uthangarai
Uthangarai slides past without a stop: a college town with a SIPCOT industrial estate, on the edge of Krishnagiri district. The road here is lower, about 360 m, and the afternoon sun is strong, so curtains are drawn and water is passed round. A group with spare time on the return can visit Hanumantheertham, a temple on the Pennaiyar about 10 km away. Chengam lies about 25 km ahead. Keep the halt count low here.

Tea break
Chengam is the group's tea break, in the foothills of the Eastern Ghats. The town is roughly halfway along the highway from Krishnagiri to Puducherry and only about 34 to 35 km short of Tiruvannamalai. Its Perumal temple festival fills the streets for ten days every May. Tea stalls and restrooms are near the bus stand. Refill the water cans and count heads before the last stretch. Fifteen minutes in all.

Lodge drop
About eight hours after Mysore the mini bus reaches the lodge. It cannot enter the narrow lanes around the temple, so it drops the group near the main bus stand in the centre of town and parks there. On full moon days vehicles are kept off the hill road during Girivalam, so arrive before evening. Walking round the hill takes three to five hours; bicycles can be hired for those who prefer to ride.
Booking a Mysore to Tiruvannamalai mini bus for 20 devotees on a full moon trip? It parks closer to the temple streets than a big bus and gets out faster after Girivalam. Pickup is from the Mysuru railway station, homes or a hotel near the palace. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.

Tiruvannamalai is about 350 km from Mysore, so about 700 km there and back. The mini bus runs on the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH77 through Uthangarai and Chengam. With twenty people, plan on about eight hours by mini bus.
The 21 seater. Sizes on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Tiruvannamalai one way: we do it on request. The drop is priced at the return rate and ₹2 a km, and you get it on paper.
If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. You see it in the quote first. The mini bus night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Those are separate. Tiruvannamalai in the 20 seater: ₹32,700 for 3 days and 900 km, with ₹2,100 driver bata. Then tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST at cost.
At a lot near your lodge. Vehicles cannot use the hill road during the walk.
Only if Girivalam is the purpose. At least ten lakh people walk round the hill on full moon days, roads close to vehicles, and lodges fill up. The mini bus parks outside the busy area and the group walks in. For a calmer visit, choose a weekday away from the full moon and Karthigai Deepam.
Water, a towel, a cap and comfortable footwear for the start and end, since many walk barefoot. The path is lit at night and has toilets. Agree a meeting point and time, and keep phones charged. Elders can do part of the walk and rest at the lodge.
