Door pickup
The van reaches your door at five, and children can sleep in the back. If you want fruit for the road, Devaraja market near the station is a maze of fruit and flower stalls, best visited the evening before. Pack binoculars, caps and a bird book for the second morning. Today the van drives to Kanchipuram for the night, and the lake comes at dawn tomorrow. Big bags go behind the last row.
Breakfast
Channapatna, about 85 km out on the Kanva river, is where the family has breakfast. The van leaves the expressway for the old highway and its eateries. Afterwards there is time for one toy shop; Channapatna toys are coloured with vegetable dyes, so even toddlers can hold them. Summer afternoons here climb to about 32 C, but at this hour it is cool. Twenty five minutes, then back to the expressway.
Into Tamil Nadu
After NICE Road and the Hosur Road stretch, the van crosses into Tamil Nadu and stops near Hosur while the border tax is paid. Fifteen minutes for tea and the restroom. Hosur sits high, about 880 m, and its mild weather suits roses, which farmers grow by the acre around the town. If the children want a park, Kelavarapalli dam is about 10 km off, though not on today's line.
Mango country
Ten minutes at a Krishnagiri fruit stall keeps everyone happy. This is the biggest mango district of Tamil Nadu, and around Santhur village nurseries sell saplings if anyone gardens. A sweet called Arcot makkan peda is sold in town. At the junction the van leaves NH44 for NH48, the Chennai road, and settles in for the long flat run to Vellore, about 115 km. A short stretch of the legs here also helps children before the longest leg of the day.
Lunch
Vellore makes the lunch halt, around 345 km into the day. Hotels serve biryani and rice meals, and the van parks off the crowded roads near the big hospital. The fort here dates from 1566, with double walls and a wide moat that children like to see. In summer the town is very hot, so keep the meal unhurried and indoors. Kanchipuram, the night stop, is about 70 km on.
Night halt
The family stops for the night at Kanchipuram, about 45 km from the lake. Arrive by late afternoon, rest, and if there is energy, see one temple; the Kailasanathar, built by the Pallavas, is old, quiet and good for children who like carvings. Dinner early. For breakfast on the way back, try idli soaked in sambar. The van leaves before sunrise, so lay out clothes and binoculars the night before.
Dawn drive through
In the early light the van passes Uthiramerur, a temple town in the Kanchipuram district. Besides the Sundaravarada Perumal temple, it has the Vaikunda Perumal and Subramanya temples, and its old stone inscriptions describe how village councils were chosen. Children can doze through it. The van keeps going quietly, because the lake is only about 20 km ahead and the birds are most active in the first hours. Wake the children only at the gate.
Bird lake
All told it is about 9.5 to 10 hours of driving over two days. The van parks at the gate, and the family walks in. Ask the children to keep their voices low near the water. Morning and late afternoon are the best hours, and birds are present roughly from November to March, depending on the rains. Carry caps, water and a light snack; there is little shade on the path. The van waits for the drive back.

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. 👍

Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary is about 460 km from Mysore, about 920 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller runs on the expressway past Channapatna, takes NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 through Vellore to Kanchipuram, then past Uthiramerur. Plan on about nine hours by tempo traveller, over two days.
Early morning, and again late afternoon.
Tolls on the 460 km Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at actual.
Vedanthangal: the 9 or 12 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Night allowance on the Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary run applies after 10 pm: ₹600 to ₹700 a night, by size.
One way to Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary, 460 km, is quoted on request at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
The lake fills with the northeast monsoon in October and November, and the birds come after that. Those two months can be wet on the road, with short floods in town streets at Vellore and Kanchipuram. December to February is the best time for a family, with full trees and dry paths.
Break the drive at Channapatna for toys, at Krishnagiri for mangoes and at Vellore for the fort, so there is something at every stop. Give each child binoculars or a simple bird list for the lake. Keep snacks and water handy, as the sanctuary has little to buy.
