Pickup at your door
Tell us where you are staying and the cab will be waiting at that gate. The car slips out of Mysore on the T Narasipura road, the old route that carries on through Kollegal and over MM Hills towards Salem, which is the line for Trichy too. The full drive is about 350 km, 7 to 7.5 hours or so at the wheel. Leave early, because the forest near the state border should be behind you well before dusk. The boot takes four soft bags.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the car is at Kollegal, roughly an hour from home, and twenty minutes covers a meal and a fuel top up. The town is famous in the region as Silk City for sarees woven on pit looms. Highway 948 passes through on its way to Coimbatore, but the cab leaves it here for the state road to MM Hills, which runs through Kamagere, Hanur and Kowdalli. Kollegal warms up fast in summer, so eat and move on.
Temple hill
MM Hills, roughly 140 km into the trip, is the hill shrine of the saint Male Mahadeshwara at about 3,000 ft. A car can pause for half an hour of darshan on an ordinary weekday; on festival days lakhs of pilgrims come and the queues are far longer. Liquor is banned on the hill. The forest around is a sanctuary with many elephants, so the car keeps moving after darshan and heads down towards Palar on the border.
Lunch by the dam
Mettur, the first big town on the Tamil Nadu side, is where the car stops for lunch. Forty minutes gives time to see the dam, finished in 1934, which holds the Kaveri at the edge of the plains and is the largest in the state. When the water drops, ruins of drowned villages, a church and a Nandi, appear in the reservoir. The town is known as the aluminium city. Salem is about 50 km ahead.
Tea in Salem
Salem is a quick tea halt for the cab. Ask at a street stall for a thattu vadai set, the city's own snack. From Salem the drive changes character: NH 44, the longest national highway in the country, runs south from here, wide and fast, all the way to Namakkal and beyond. The Kerala traffic peels off at this city towards Coimbatore, so the lanes thin out after the junction.
Drive on
Namakkal sits on NH 44, about 280 km from Mysore, and a car can stop for fifteen minutes if the family wants a quick darshan. The Anjaneyar image here is about 18 ft tall, and the town also has the Namagiri Lakshmi Narasimhaswami temple. A fort sits on a single rock hill about 75 m high above the town. Namakkal calls itself the Egg City. Trichy is about 70 km on.
Drop at your hotel
The cab reaches Trichy about 7 to 7.5 hours after leaving Mysore and drops you at your hotel. April to June is the hottest time here, and the heaviest rain comes from October to December. The airport is about 5 km from the city on the Pudukkottai side, handy for anyone flying on. Polished Ponni rice from the mills at Manachanallur is the thing to carry home, and in summer the mango market on Mambazha Salai is busy.
Trichy college event for four to seven? A Mysore to Trichy cab does it. Pickup is anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mysore airport at Mandakalli. The same Mysore to Trichy taxi can do a one way drop or a full round trip, as you need. Tejas Tours & Travels runs cab rental in Mysore: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova or Innova Crysta for six or seven.

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.

Trichy is about 350 km from Mysore by this road, so about 700 km for a round trip. The cab goes through Kollegal and MM Hills, crosses to Mettur, then joins NH 44 at Salem and runs through Namakkal. A car needs about six and a half hours to reach Trichy.
The Kollegal, MM Hills and Mettur road is shorter from Mysore. It runs through forest, so we drive it only in daylight.
Yes, on the Trichy trip a night bata applies after 10 pm. It is in the written quote, so there is no surprise. Our card says ₹400 per night.
Yes. Trichy: tolls, GST, parking and the Tamil Nadu permit come extra at actual.
Yes. A Mysore to Trichy one way taxi is quoted when you ask.
Trichy for six or seven: Innova or Innova Crysta. Six people and their bags fit. The full car list is on cab rental in Mysore.
November to February is the most comfortable. Trichy is very hot from April to June, and the heaviest rain falls from October to December, when roads can flood briefly. Around December and January the Margazhi festival brings huge crowds to the city. In every season we plan the forest crossing near the border for daylight.
Yes. Salem, at about two thirds of the way, makes a good night halt, with plenty of hotels. On a one day drive we halt at Kollegal, MM Hills, Mettur and Salem, so nobody sits in the car for more than a couple of hours. Keep snacks and water in the back seat, and a cushion for the long highway stretch.
