Pickup in Mysuru
At six the Urbania, with 8 to 16 seats, calls for the group at any address in Mysuru. Rather than cross the old city, the driver follows the outer ring road, about 41.5 km round Mysore, and meets the Nanjangud highway on the southern edge, which saves time at any hour. Varkala is 520 km away, so we plan two easy days, with a night at Thrissur, which elders find far more comfortable than one long push.
Breakfast and fuel
The Urbania halts at Gundlupet, 60 km on, for breakfast. Should you be travelling just before Onam, the little town is buzzing, since growers load marigolds by the lorry for the flower carpets of Kerala, a first hint of the festival you will meet further south. Twenty five minutes lets a group of twelve eat at the wayside cafes. Elders should use the toilets now, because the reserves ahead allow no halts before Gudalur.
Lunch
Lunch is in Gudalur, 115 km from the start. For a quick view, Frog Hill lookout lies roughly 12 km up NH 181 in the Ooty direction, near Needle Rock; ask the driver if the group wants it, otherwise we head straight for Kerala. Plan on three quarters of an hour for the meal. Then begins the Nadukani descent, nearly 50 km of curves down to Nilambur, so seat elders in the front rows with water close by.
Tea stop
Nilambur comes at 165 km, and the Urbania pauses for fifteen minutes of tea. Should elders want something gentle on the drive home, the Teak Museum beside Conolly's Plot, run by Kerala's forest research institute since 1995, is indoors, shaded and seldom crowded. Today, though, tea and toilets are enough. The night stop at Thrissur sits roughly 110 km ahead across the plain, an easy afternoon run on level roads.
Night halt
Thrissur, 275 km from Mysore, is the night halt for the Urbania. A Kerala breakfast here next morning is appam, idiyappam or puttu, with appam usually eaten with stew or egg curry, an easy start for elders. We drop the group at its hotel, and the van parks there overnight, so bags can stay inside except for one small bag each. The second day is about 245 km to Varkala, through Kochi, Alleppey and Kollam.
Drive through
Next morning the Urbania goes round Kochi, 350 km from home. If your group returns this way with a free day, the city is easy without a vehicle; its water metro was the first in the country, and Kerala's one metro line starts at Aluva in the north. For now we stay on the highway and turn onto NH66 heading south. Allow about an hour to Alleppey, some 55 km away, before the next tea.
Tea halt
Alleppey, 405 km from Mysore, makes a fifteen minute tea halt. East and south of the town stretches Kuttanad, where paddy grows on land lying 4 to 10 ft below the sea, a farming system the FAO named a world agricultural heritage system in 2013; you glimpse its green flats from the highway. Elders can use the restrooms here. Kollam, the lunch halt, is about 90 km further down the coast.
Lunch
Lunch on day two is in Kollam, 495 km from Mysore. Clams from Ashtamudi lake made history in November 2014 as India's first fishery certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, so a clam fry is the local special to request. Half an hour suits the group, and the restaurant can serve something milder for elders. After lunch, Varkala is a short 29 or 30 km away, an easy last stretch for tired elders before check in.
Drop at your stay
The Urbania reaches Varkala after about 11 to 11.5 hours of driving from Mysore, spread over two days. We drop the group at its hotel with the bags; on the narrow cliff lanes, the van stops at the nearest point it can turn. Thiruvananthapuram is about 50 km south, useful if the trip goes on or someone has a flight. Elders should rest before the evening walk; the cliff paths are best in the cooler hours.

Mysore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The Urbania covers about 520 km between Mysore and Varkala, close to 1,040 km if it brings you home. Driving time is around 11 to 11.5 hours, split over two days with Thrissur as the halfway night. You cross Bandipur, take the Nadukani churam into Kerala, and finish along NH66 through Kochi, Alleppey and Kollam.
The 10 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
No. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
We split it with a night in Kochi each way.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. You see it in the quote first. On our Mysore card that is ₹700 a night.
March to May is humid on both the plain and the coast, and long afternoons on the road tire elders. The Urbania has air conditioning and we carry water. December to February is cooler and dry, the most comfortable stretch of the year. In summer, keep beach walks to early morning and evening.
At Thrissur, about 275 km out, close to the halfway mark. Day one covers the forest and the Nadukani churam; day two follows the coast through Kochi, Alleppey and Kollam. Each day stays near five or 11 to 11.5 hours of driving, and Bandipur, which closes from 9 pm to 6 am, is crossed in morning light.
