Group pickup
Five in the morning is departure time; the coach, 27 to 50 seats, waits wherever the group has gathered in Mysuru, and luggage goes underneath. Planning the zoo when you come back? Skip Tuesday, its weekly holiday, and expect the coach parking fee to be higher than for cars. Today we head south on the Nanjangud highway. Varkala is 520 km away, about thirteen hours of driving, with a night halt at Thrissur.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the coach is in Gundlupet, 60 km on. At roughly 816 m and sheltered from the monsoon by the Ghats, the town gets only about 60 cm of rain a year, which means the morning sky is usually clear. A group of forty needs a good forty minutes at the small roadside eateries, roll call included. The coach takes diesel here, because the reserves ahead have no pumps and allow no stops.
Group lunch
Lunch for the coach is at Gudalur, 115 km out. Around 49,500 people live in this bazaar town of the tea country, and its streets are busy, so our office books a hotel with space for a big bus. An hour covers the meal and the roll call, and the restrooms there are the last before Nilambur. The coach then starts down the Nadukani ghat towards Nilambur, a slow, winding descent for a vehicle of this size.
Restroom halt
At Nilambur, 165 km from Mysore, the coach halts for restrooms. Adyanpara waterfalls and the banks of the Chaliyar are the local sights, but a coach on a two day schedule lets them be. Fifteen minutes is enough for forty people if the leader keeps the queue moving and the water bottles are refilled at the same time. Thrissur and the night's hotel lie about 110 km on, and the coach should roll in by late afternoon.
Night halt
After 275 km the coach pulls into Thrissur for the night. Kerala's arts academies for literature, music and fine arts all sit in the heart of this town, and its white Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours ranks as India's biggest church. Our office arranges a hotel that can take a coach in its yard and serve dinner to the whole party. Day two covers around 245 km, starting at seven after an early breakfast.
Drive through
The coach goes round Kochi, 350 km out, on the morning of day two. Devotees in the party may want Chottanikkara on a future trip, a temple where the goddess is honoured as Saraswathi at dawn, Lakshmi at midday and Kali at dusk. Today the bus stays on the main highway, away from the narrow city lanes, and turns south onto NH66. Alleppey and the tea halt are about 55 km ahead, a little over an hour.
Tea halt
Alleppey, 405 km from Mysore, is a tea halt for the coach. Along NH66 here the towns come thick and fast, Cherthala about 22 km north of Alappuzha and Kayamkulam about 45 km south, so the bus moves steadily rather than fast. Allow twenty minutes for forty people to have tea and use the toilets, then a quick head count at the door. Kollam, the lunch stop, is roughly 90 km further down the coast.
Group lunch
At Kollam, 495 km along, the coach stops for the day's group lunch. Leisure boats run through the backwaters from here all the way to Alappuzha, something to keep in mind if the group ever has a spare day. A restaurant that can seat forty together and park a coach is booked in advance, and three quarters of an hour is set aside for eating and boarding. Varkala is now only 29 or 30 km south.
Coach drop
Thirteen hours of driving, split across two days, bring the coach to Varkala. A big bus cannot squeeze up the lanes to the clifftop, so we park on the town side; guests hop into autos or walk, and the hotel's own vehicle collects the luggage. Between 30 December and 1 January the Sivagiri pilgrimage packs the town, and even finding space for the coach becomes hard. Thiruvananthapuram lies about 50 km beyond if the tour continues.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Varkala is about 520 km from Mysore along the Gudalur, Nilambur and coastal route, around 1,040 km for a return trip. A coach needs about thirteen hours of driving, so the group sleeps at Thrissur on the way. The bus crosses Bandipur, descends the Nadukani ghat, then follows NH544 and NH66 south. Bandipur's road is closed nine to six.
For Varkala, 520 km each way, tolls, parking, state permits and GST are billed at actual.
The 49 or 50 seater is the one for Varkala. See bus on rent in Mysore.
Not for normal driving days. It applies only if the coach drives through the night. Our card says ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size per night.
Yes, Varkala one way on request; it runs ₹2 a km over a return, in writing.
No. Coaches park below and your group walks up.
The cool, dry spell from December to February is ideal for a coach party. The south west monsoon brings most of Varkala's 310 cm of rain between June and August, with rough seas and a slow ghat. March to May is hot and sticky. Expect crowds around new year, when the Sivagiri pilgrimage takes place.
Big suitcases stay locked in the hold until Varkala. Each traveller keeps a small overnight bag for Thrissur with clothes, toiletries and medicines, so the hold opens only once. Water and a snack stay in hand for the Bandipur stretch, where the coach cannot pause. A name label on every bag helps.
