Pickup
We bring the Urbania to your gate at half past five, washed and fuelled, with drinking water aboard. Elders get in first and recline the seats for the long run. Coming back on a Sunday or a public holiday, try to reach Mysore by seven in the evening, when the palace is lit for less than an hour, a pleasant welcome home for older guests. Expect around seven and a half hours to Tiruvannamalai including stops.
Coffee halt
Breakfast is a short, gentle halt at Maddur. The Urbania leaves the expressway for a service road hotel with clean restrooms and parks right at its door. Coffee with a hot Maddur vada suits most elders. Those who love old temples may like the Varadaraja shrine here, whose tall image is carved in the round, front and back; it is about a kilometre off the road. Twenty minutes, then back onto the expressway.
Border check
Once into Tamil Nadu the Urbania halts near Hosur so the permit can be paid, and older travellers have a restroom break and tea at a tidy roadside hotel. Hosur's weather stays gentle through the year, with January the coolest month. Pilgrims visit a Jain temple some 19 km away and the Dakshina Tirupati shrine close to the highway, but today the van moves on after the tea. Krishnagiri is about 50 km ahead.
Lunch
Lunch is at Krishnagiri, an unhurried forty five minutes before the van turns onto NH77. Plain rice meals are kindest to elders on a travel day. In the countryside near the town, Ramapuram has a Rama temple about 500 years old, and a small Anjaneya shrine stands in town. Mango pulp and juice are sold everywhere, handy for later in the drive. From here Tiruvannamalai is about 110 km east, mostly two lane road.
Drive on
At Uthangarai, a town of colleges and a SIPCOT industrial estate on the outer edge of Krishnagiri district, the Urbania simply drives through. The road has come down to about 360 m, and the heat rises, so the AC stays on and water bottles are passed round. Elders who enjoy quiet riverside shrines can keep Hanumantheertham on the Pennaiyar, about 10 km away, for the return. Chengam comes after about 25 km.
Tea and stretch
The Urbania stops for tea at Chengam, where the road threads between the Javadhu and Chennakesava hills. Elders can step down through the wide sliding door and stretch for a few minutes. This side of the hills gets around 1,200 mm of rain a year, mostly from September to December, so the road can be wet then. A milk plant and the Sathanur power project are near the town. About 35 km to go.
Lodge drop
Around seven and a half hours after leaving Mysore, the Urbania reaches the lodge, and our driver parks nearby for the stay. Lakhs walk round the hill on full moon days, so elders will find any weekday far easier. The circuit is lit at night and has toilets, which makes a short evening stroll possible. Chennai airport is roughly 180 km away for anyone flying on. Vegetarian restaurants sit close to most lodges.
Is a Mysore to Tiruvannamalai Force Urbania right for older people going for darshan? On a seven-hour drive its reclining seats and quiet ride make a real difference. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Pickup is from your Mysuru home, a hotel or the railway station.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

Tiruvannamalai is about 350 km from Mysore, or about 700 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH77 through Uthangarai and Chengam. Plan on about seven and a half hours by Urbania, including halts.
No. 3 days, 900 km at ₹40/km is ₹36,000 for any size, with ₹2,100 allowance for the driver. Tiruvannamalai adds tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST at cost.
The 10 seater, or 13 for extra room. All sizes on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Tiruvannamalai: driving after 10 pm adds our driver night bata, ₹700 a night.
On request, yes. For Tiruvannamalai one way, it is ₹2 per km over the return rate, with the km quoted.
Vehicles are not allowed on the hill road during the full moon walk. On other days the van can drive the route slowly.
December to February, avoiding the full moon days. April to June is too hot for long temple corridors, and the northeast monsoon from October to December brings heavy rain. Thiruvoodal in the first week of January also draws crowds, so check dates before booking.
We do not suggest arriving at night with elders. The last 110 km after Krishnagiri are two lane in parts, with trucks. Starting at half past five gets the Urbania to the lodge by early afternoon, leaving the evening free. For the return, leave after breakfast.
