Home pickup
At half past five the van is at your gate, with elders seated in the front rows and fruit and water in the back. Mysore breakfast places open early with akki rotti and uppittu, but the family eats on the road today. The early start gets the van round the city ring before office traffic. The trip takes about seven and a half hours with halts. A shawl each for the cool dawn.

Breakfast
An hour from home the van pulls off at Maddur for breakfast. On the old road beside the expressway, cooks fry the crisp flat vada that made the town famous, and children like it with coconut chutney. Lorries leave Maddur daily loaded with tender coconut for other states, so a fresh one is cheap here. After twenty five minutes the van climbs back onto the six lane road and runs on towards NICE Road.

Into Tamil Nadu
After NICE Road and Hosur Road, the van crosses into Tamil Nadu and stops near Hosur for the permit. Tea and a restroom in the meantime. Hosur farms grow tomatoes, cabbage and beans for the city markets, and roadside sellers keep them fresh. The Kelavarapalli reservoir, about 10 km off, has a park for children on a slower day. From here NH44 continues to Krishnagiri. Elders can stretch their legs in the hotel compound while the papers are done.

Family lunch
Krishnagiri is the family lunch stop and the junction where NH77 leaves for Tiruvannamalai. Mango sellers fill the roadside in season with Totapuri and Alphonso. Children can spot the old Vijayanagara fort on the hill above the town while they eat. On the way home, the KRP dam's boat house and play area, a short drive from the bus stand, can fill an hour. Allow forty minutes, then the van turns east.

Through Uthangarai
The van passes Uthangarai, a college town on the edge of Krishnagiri district, at about 360 m. The road has dropped from the plateau, so the afternoon feels warmer; keep the AC on and water handy. Hanumantheertham, a riverside temple on the Pennaiyar, is about 10 km away if the family wants a short detour on the way home. Chengam is about 25 km ahead. The van keeps a steady pace on the narrower road.

Tea stop
Tea is at Chengam, a foothill town of the Eastern Ghats about 272 m above the sea. The Javadhu hills stand on one side of its pass. Buses run from the stand here to Salem, Dharmapuri, Hosur and Krishnagiri, so stalls and restrooms are easy to find. If you pass in May, the Perumal temple's ten day festival makes the streets busy. A quarter of an hour, then about 35 km more.

Lodge and temple town
With the halts the family reaches Tiruvannamalai in about seven and a half hours, and the van unloads at the lodge. Seniors are happier on a weekday than in the full moon crush. The walk round the sacred hill runs some 14 km, too far for small children, though a short part of it is lovely in the cool of evening. Karthigai Deepam, in November or December, draws the year's largest crowd. Vegetarian food is on every corner.
