Family pickup
At 5:30 am the tempo traveller is outside your gate, or at a palace side hotel or the station, because Vagamon is a nine and a half hour day. The route leaves Mysore southwards past Nanjangud and enters the Bandipur forest soon after its 6 am opening. If the family wants Mysore pak or silk from Mysore, buy it on the return day; most shops shut before 10 pm, so plan the timing. Bags at the back, snacks and sweaters up front.
Onto the Ooty road
Gundlupet is the family's first tea stop, fifteen minutes before the forest. Make sure the children use the restroom here. The van then turns off NH 766 onto NH 181, the road for Bandipur, Mudumalai and Gudalur. Gundlupet has few places to eat, just small stalls, so keep breakfast snacks in the van. From June to August, the town's flower fields are bright beside the road. The forest road that follows is shut to traffic from nine at night until six in the morning, so the return must reach it in daylight.
Nilgiri tea stop
Gudalur, the busy market town of the tea estates, is where the van stops for tea and a light breakfast. Some estates nearby allow factory visits, a nice idea for the return. Needle Rock viewpoint, about 8 km up the Ooty road, looks over Mudumalai, but our road goes the other way. The Nadukani ghat down to Nilambur comes next, so give children who feel sick on bends a front seat and a light snack.
Family lunch
Nilambur is the lunch halt, on the Chaliyar river after the ghat. Kerala meals and parotta are easy to find, and restrooms at the larger hotels are clean. Children may enjoy the teak museum next to Conolly's Plot, the first of its kind, opened by the forest research institute in 1995. The town's railway to Shoranur, built to carry teak, is one of the most scenic short lines in India. Thrissur is about 105 km on.
Tea in Thrissur
Thrissur, about 270 km from Mysore, gets a twenty minute tea break. Banana fritters and strong black tea are the usual order. The city is called the cultural capital of Kerala, with the state academies of literature, music and art in its centre. Silk and gold shops line the main roads, if anyone wants to look on the way back. From here the van heads towards the Idukki hills. Ask the driver to park near a shop with a clean restroom, as the town centre is busy in the afternoon.
Pineapple town
Thodupuzha, about 370 km out, is the snack stop before the last climb. Fresh pineapple from the Vazhakulam belt near the town is sold in slices by the road, a treat for children after the long plains run. The driver checks fuel here, since the hill road ahead has fewer pumps. Muvattupuzha is about 20 km back down the road. Vagamon is about 40 km away, mostly uphill, so open a window if anyone feels the bends.
Resort arrival
The tempo traveller reaches Vagamon about nine and a half hours after leaving Mysore. If your resort sits on a very steep estate road, a jeep may take the last stretch and the van parks below. Vagamon is a hill station at about 1,100 m, so nights are cool and jackets are needed. Hiking and rock climbing are what people come for. Estate tea makes a good souvenir. The van stays at the resort for your sightseeing days and brings everyone home by the same road.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

By road Vagamon is about 410 km from Mysore, so the round trip is about 820 km. The tempo traveller runs through Gundlupet, the Bandipur and Mudumalai forest, Gudalur and the Nadukani ghat to Nilambur, then Thrissur and Thodupuzha. It takes about 9.5 hours with halts.
Mornings and nights are cool, especially from November to February. Carry a light jacket.
A night allowance for the driver applies only if the drive runs late into the night. It is shown in the quote. The tempo traveller night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
The 12 seater, or 15 for more bag space. All sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Not included. 3 days, 900 km in a 12 seater comes to ₹23,400 at ₹24/km, and ₹1,500 for the driver. Tolls, Kerala entry tax, parking and GST at actuals.
Yes, ask us. Vagamon one way is ₹2 more per km than a return, with the km fixed in writing.
September end to May is the easier season, with clear views and dry trails; December to February is the coldest. June to August brings very heavy rain on the Nilgiri and Kerala ghats, with landslips possible near Gudalur, so drives are slower. Summer weekends in April and May are crowded.
Yes. Many families stop a night in Thrissur, which splits the trip into about six hours and three hours. Otherwise, keep the halts we plan at Gundlupet, Gudalur, Nilambur and Thodupuzha, carry snacks and sick bags for the ghat, and use the restroom at Gundlupet before the forest.
