Pickup in Mysuru
The Urbania meets the group at a hotel, a home or the airport at Mandakalli, and takes the T Narasipura road out of Mysore. The route crosses into Tamil Nadu over the MM Hills forest and then follows NH 44 from Salem, about 350 km in all, roughly seven hours. If anyone wants Mysore silk or sandalwood for hosts in Trichy, buy it the day before. Seats recline; settle in for the first leg.

Breakfast halt
Kollegal comes about an hour into the drive, and the Urbania stops for twenty five minutes so elders can have breakfast sitting down. Weavers here are pushing for a Kollegal silk label of their own, much as Mysore silk has one, and a saree or two often goes home with visitors. The town stands a little higher than the plains ahead, yet it still turns warm by mid morning. From here the van takes SH 79 east, through Kamagere and Hanur, towards the hills.

Temple halt
At MM Hills the Urbania can stop for darshan, thirty minutes on a quiet day. The temple is at about 3,000 ft and very crowded on festival days. The hill is an alcohol free zone, and rooms are only in mutt and government guest houses booked ahead. Elders can wait in the van while the others queue. The road then drops through the sanctuary to Palar. The driver waits close to the temple gate.

Lunch
At Mettur the Urbania stops for lunch, forty minutes for elders to sit and eat. The dam gates usually open in June to send water to the Kaveri delta, and Aadi Perukku, in late July or early August, fills the riverside with people. Mettur is where Salem, Erode and Dharmapuri districts meet. Salem is about 50 km on. Ask for a table in the shade, since noon is hot here. The van waits right outside.

Tea in Salem
The Urbania halts in Salem for tea and restrooms. Biryani and chicken varuval are local favourites if anyone is hungry, and the thattu vadai set is the street snack. Salem airport is at Kamalapuram, about 20 km from the city. From here the van runs south on NH 44, the smoothest part of the drive. Elders should drink water often on this stretch, as the highway is hot by afternoon.

Short halt
Namakkal is a fifteen minute halt for the Urbania, about 280 km from Mysore. The fort on a single rock hill, about 75 m high, stands over the town, and the Anjaneyar statue is about 18 ft tall. Karur is about 34 km south across the Kaveri, but the van keeps to NH 44 towards Trichy, about 70 km away. Elders can use the restrooms here. The van parks close to the temple steps.

Drop at your stay
Seven hours or so after leaving Mysore, the Urbania stops at your Trichy hotel and the driver unloads the bags. For anyone flying on, the airport sits only about 5 km out on the Pudukkottai road. Summers, April to June, are fierce, so elders should rest through the afternoon. Rice from the Manachanallur mills, sold as polished Ponni, is the gift most families carry home, and the mango sellers on Mambazha Salai are busy in season.
Want a Mysore to Trichy Force Urbania for a family visit, a quieter van for 8 to 16 people? For Trichy, more headroom, a quieter cabin and space for bags. Tejas Tours & Travels arranges Force Urbania on rent in Mysore with drivers who know these roads. Pickup is from your hotel by the palace, Mysore railway station or the city bus stand, anywhere in Mysuru.

The 12 seater, so all sit and the bags fit. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Any driving after 10 pm adds the driver's night bata; your quote lists it.
The MM Hills road runs through a wildlife sanctuary, and we do not drive it after dark. The driver plans the timing around it.
Sure. We quote one way drops in writing once we have your date.
November to February is the most comfortable. April to June is very hot, and the heaviest rain falls from October to December. In December and January the Margazhi festival at Srirangam draws about a million people, so book rooms early then. Summer trips start before dawn to beat the heat on the plains.
Yes, with halts every two hours or so: Kollegal, MM Hills, Mettur, Salem and Namakkal. The Urbania seats recline and the highway from Salem is smooth. For elders who tire easily, we suggest a night in Salem and the rest of the drive the next morning. Keep their medicines and water within reach.
