Pickup in Mysore
The Urbania picks up from a home, a lodge near the palace, the railway station, the bus stand or the Mandakalli airport. If the group wants breakfast at home, Mysore masala dosa, with its red chutney spread inside, is served early in the city's eateries. We leave at 5:30 to reach Topslip well before its 4 pm forest closing. The van runs south on NH766 to Nanjangud and turns for Chamarajanagar. It is about 285 km in all, around six hours.
Coffee and stretch
At Chamarajanagar, 60 km out, the Urbania stops for coffee, restrooms and diesel. The Gaurishvara temple at Yelandur, with stone chains carved in it, lies about 20 km away on the Kollegal side, if the group ever wants a detour. Ahead lie the Sathyamangalam forest and then the Dhimbam ghat, together a long run with no stop at all. Ask elders to use the restroom here and to keep a bottle of water by their seat for the hairpins.
Ghat road
The Dhimbam ghat, at roughly 115 km, drops from Hasanur to Bannari through 27 hairpins. The Urbania keeps moving; there are no shops and no lay bys. Wildlife is hit by vehicles on NH948 at night, and night traffic on this stretch has been restricted, so we always plan it for daylight. The high roof and big windows give the group a clear view of the forest. Elders should stay seated on the bends.
Breakfast
Sathyamangalam, roughly 145 km from home, is breakfast for the Topslip group after the ghat. Ten or twelve guests are served quickly in the Tamil hotels on NH948, and parking beside them is easy. The Sathyamangalam reserve, about 1,408 sq km, starts at the edge of this town and is the largest wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, so if anyone missed an elephant on the way down, the forest is still close. Coimbatore is about 65 km ahead on a straight plains road.
Coffee and stretch
Coimbatore, some 210 km into the trip, is a short coffee stop before the Urbania turns south for Pollachi and Topslip. The city lies at about 427 m on the Noyyal river and stays warm through the day, so the AC earns its keep from here on. Kaalaan, mushroom fried and cooked in a spicy gravy, is the local street snack if anyone is curious. Use the restroom here; Pollachi is about 40 km on and the forest after that has no facilities.
Lunch
Pollachi, at 250 km, is the Urbania's lunch halt on the way to Topslip. The town is a big market for jaggery and vegetables, and the paddy fields around it are a favourite of film crews. The Coimbatore airport is about 48 km back if anyone flies out after the trip. Buy drinking water and snacks for the evening, as the reserve has no shops. Topslip is about 37 km on, through Anaimalai, and the hills begin to show on the right.
Coffee and stretch
Anaimalai, about 265 km out, is the last town before the Topslip forest and a fifteen minute coffee stop for the Urbania. Tea stalls, restrooms and fuel pumps line the road, and a dozen people are soon back on board. From here the road climbs into the Anamalai hills, about 20 km to Topslip, and the reserve gate comes first, where the driver shows the papers. Keep cameras ready but voices low once the trees close in.
Reception drop
The Urbania drops the group at the Topslip reception about 6.5 to 7 hours after Mysore, and the driver helps carry the bags in. Topslip holds the main visitor facilities of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve, a forest of tigers, elephants and leopards, so stay on the marked paths and follow the guides. For the night, use the forest cottages or drive back to Pollachi. Elephant Pongal, with decorated camp elephants, is held here every January, worth timing a trip for.

Tejas Tours & Travels arranges Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with drivers who know these roads. Pickup in Mysuru from your home, your hotel, the railway station or Mandakalli airport.

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.

Topslip is about 285 km from Mysore, so a return trip covers about 570 km. The Urbania runs via Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam ghat and Sathyamangalam to Coimbatore, then Pollachi and Anaimalai. Allow about 6.5 to 7 hours on the road with breakfast and lunch.
For Topslip, the 12 seater gives a seat to all and space for bags. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
No, the km rate leaves out the Tamil Nadu permit, parking, tolls and GST; these are added at actual.
Sure. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
A Topslip drive past 10 pm brings the driver's night allowance; it is in your quote.
Yes. It is roughly 20 km before Topslip on this route. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate. Keep 45 minutes.
It can. The road comes down the Dhimbam ghat to Bannari, where the Kundam festival at the Bannari Amman temple falls in Panguni, around March and April, and lakhs of devotees come. On the main days the highway near the temple is jammed. We start earlier then, so the group still reaches Topslip before the 4 pm closing.
It is a long day, about 6.5 to 7 hours by Urbania. We halt at Chamarajanagar, Sathyamangalam, Coimbatore, Pollachi and Anaimalai, so nobody sits too long. The 27 hairpins of Dhimbam are the hardest part, so elders should sit in the middle rows. A night at Topslip or Pollachi is better than driving back the same day.
