One gate
At 5 am the bus loads at a single gate, which can be a college, an office, Mysore Junction or a palace side hotel. Give one person the passenger list and the head count takes a minute. Suitcases ride in the luggage hold; a small bag for the Madurai night stays with each traveller. The bus leaves by the Nanjangud road for Chamarajanagar. Most Mysore shops and eateries shut before 10 pm; a group that wants Mysore pak or silk sarees after the trip should roll back into town well before that.

Breakfast
Chamarajanagar, 60 km out, is breakfast for the full bus. The highway hotels here can seat forty, and forty minutes covers idli, vada and coffee in two batches. The BR Hills road leaves town via K Gudi, about 40 km through forest, but our road goes the other way, south through Hasanur. BR Hills, MM Hills and Shivanasamudra are the district's main sights, good for another trip. The driver fills diesel before the forest, since the ghat has no pumps, and does a head count before the bus moves.

Tea after the ghat
The bus comes down the Dhimbam ghat in low gear; the limits there are for vehicles with 12 or more wheels and trucks of 16.2 tonnes and above, and buses run here every day, including frequent services from Sathyamangalam to Mysore. The bends are slow for a long body, so allow time. At Sathyamangalam, 145 km out, the bus halts fifteen minutes for tea. The highway through the tiger reserve, NH948, has seen animals killed by vehicles at night, another reason this group crosses early.

Tea and restroom
Erode, 215 km out, is a fifteen minute halt so the group can use the restroom before lunch. The bus stays on the highway side; NH544 bypasses the city, and the centre is crowded with textile traders. The Bhavani jamakkalam, the woven carpets and blankets of Bhavani, carry a GI tag and are a good group buy on the return. Kodiveri dam, about 55 km from Erode near Gobichettipalayam, is a weekend picnic spot for another day. Karur and lunch are 65 km ahead.

Lunch
Karur, 280 km from Mysore, is lunch for the bus, and with forty or more people we keep an hour. The driver knows highway hotels that serve a full bus in two batches. Karur is the bus body town of India, and it shows along the road. Textiles are the other trade, so towels and bed linen from the mills are worth a look. Trichy airport is about 78 km from here, useful if a member has to leave the group early. Dindigul is about 75 km ahead on NH44.

Tea
Dindigul, 355 km out, is a fifteen minute tea halt. The bus stops on the highway side; village roads around Dindigul can be narrow, so the driver does not take a full coach into the lanes. Dindigul biryani is the dish the town is known for, if anyone skipped lunch. The Kottai Mariamman temple holds its festival in January and February, when the town is busy. Dindigul is also a leather and lock town. Madurai, the night halt, is 66 km ahead, about an hour and a half by bus.

Night halt
Madurai, 420 km from Mysore, is the night halt for the bus. Book one hotel that has coach parking; the old city lanes around the temple are too tight for a big bus, so the group goes in by autos, with fares fixed first. The Meenakshi temple sees about 15,000 visitors a day and 25,000 on Fridays, so a Friday evening visit means a long queue. Thirumalai Nayak palace has an evening sound and light show in English and Tamil. Leave early next morning for Tuticorin.

Breakfast
Aruppukottai, 50 km south of Madurai on NH38, is the breakfast stop on day two if the group left Madurai at first light. Thirty minutes covers a quick meal for forty. The town is known for cotton mills and jasmine, and Madurai airport is about 44 km away. Seenivasa Perumal temple on Malai Arasan hill is a short climb if devotees ask. The highway onward through Ettayapuram is wide and flat, easy for a bus, and Tuticorin is 90 km further.

Group drop
The bus reaches Tuticorin, about 14 hours of driving from Mysore, by late morning on day two, and drops the group at the hotel or the event venue. Tuticorin is called the Pearl City for its old pearl fishing, and today it runs on the port and the salt pans, which produce about 90% of Tamil Nadu's salt. The town is hot most of the year, so plan sightseeing for early morning and evening. The bus waits at the hotel yard and is ready for local runs.

Smaller Tuticorin group, around 20? Look at the Mysore to Tuticorin mini bus. Just a family? The Mysore to Tuticorin tempo traveller. Other plans from Mysore: bus on rent in Mysore.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
Tuticorin is roughly 560 km from Mysore, or around 1,120 km for a return trip. A coach needs about 14 hours with stops, so we split the run: day one crosses the forest and the Dhimbam ghat, then the plains past Erode, Karur and Dindigul to Madurai; day two follows NH38 through Aruppukottai and Ettayapuram to the coast. Big buses manage every stretch of this road.
For Tuticorin, 560 km each way, tolls, parking, state permits and GST are billed at actual.
Past 10 pm on the Tuticorin trip, the driver gets a night allowance of ₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size.
Under 35 for Tuticorin means the 33 or 35 seater, around 40 the 40 seater, 45 to 50 the 45, 49 or 50 seater. Sizes are on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes, on the roads near the church. During the August feast, parking is further out.
Yes, Tuticorin one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, in writing.
Sometimes. The Kaveri water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu brings demonstrations in Mysore now and then, and on bandh days a bus with a group may face delays at the exits. We check the news the evening before departure. If a bandh is called, we shift the start time or the date, with your agreement, rather than risk the group waiting on the road.
One large bag per person goes in the hold under the bus and stays there until Tuticorin. For the night at Madurai, each person carries a small bag with clothes, medicines and a charger, so the hold is not opened at the hotel. Label every bag with a name and phone number. Keep water, snacks and caps in the bus, because the plains after Karur are hot.
