Gate pickup
The Urbania comes at half past five. Elders take the captain seats, and we keep the first day under eight hours with long breaks. A box of Mysore pak, the ghee rich gram flour sweet the city is famous for, travels well and makes a nice gift for hosts in Tamil Nadu. We drive to Kanchipuram today and to the lake at dawn tomorrow. Station pickups are fine for birders arriving by train.
Breakfast
At Channapatna the Urbania leaves the expressway and parks at the door of a breakfast place on the old highway, so elders walk only a few steps. The taluk around the town grows coconut and ragi and twists raw silk, besides making the famous lacquer toys. Twenty five minutes with restrooms. From here the van follows the expressway to the city edge, then NICE Road to the Hosur side. The driver also refuels here.
Border check
At the border near Hosur, where cameras check road tax, the driver handles the permit while elders use a clean restroom. Hosur sits on the plateau, and even January nights only cool to about 17 deg C, so the halt is pleasant. The Rajaji memorial at Thorapalli, birthplace of C. Rajagopalachari, is nearby for those interested in history. Fifteen minutes, then on to Krishnagiri. Hot tea and a biscuit at the stall help elders before the next stretch of about an hour.
Short break
The van pauses at Krishnagiri for ten minutes; elders can stay seated with the AC on. The Kattuveera Anjaneya temple is a small local shrine, and a Jain tirth, the Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet, stands near the highway. Mangoes and mango pulp are sold along the road. From the junction the Urbania turns east onto NH48, and Vellore is about 115 km on. The highway from Hosur is being widened, so the driver goes slowly through the work zones before town.
Calm lunch
Lunch is at Vellore, a calm forty five minutes in a cool hotel. The town is hot for much of the year, with April to June the worst, so elders should drink plenty. Plain meals are easy to find. Inside the fort, the Jalakandeswarar temple is built in the Vijayanagara style and is flat to walk, if someone wants a short visit. Then about 70 km to Kanchipuram for the night.
Night halt
Kanchipuram is the night halt, about 45 km short of the lake. Choose a hotel with a lift. The town is humid and hot most of the year, with summer highs near 37.5 deg C, so elders rest in the afternoon. For a short evening outing, the Varadharaja Perumal temple, the largest Vishnu temple in town, has wide courtyards. Dinner early, as the Urbania leaves before sunrise for the lake.
Village road
At dawn the Urbania passes Uthiramerur, a quiet panchayat town of the Kanchipuram district. Its Pallava era Sundaravarada Perumal temple is about 1,200 years old, a stop for the return drive if elders enjoy old temples. Paddy fields line the road. The van drives on gently, since the sanctuary is only about 20 km ahead and the birds are most active in the first hours of light. Keep a shawl handy, as dawn is cool.
At the lake
The two days add up to about 9.5 to 10 hours of driving. The Urbania drops elders near the sanctuary gate and parks close by, so the walk to the path is short. Early morning is the best hour, and late afternoon the next best; nesting is roughly from November to March. Carry water and a cap, and a folding stool if an elder tires easily. Keep voices low near the trees.
Want a Mysore to Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary Force Urbania for elders who love birds? AC, a high roof and soft seats, with a night at Vellore so the dawn visit is easy. Book Force Urbania on rent in Mysore. Pickup is from your Mysuru home, a hotel or Mysore airport at Mandakalli.

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.

Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary is about 460 km from Mysore, or about 920 km for the round trip. The Urbania goes by the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 through Vellore to Kanchipuram, then past Uthiramerur. Plan on about nine hours by Urbania, split with a night at Kanchipuram.
It applies only to night driving. That comes to ₹700 a night.
Yes, that works. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Yes, it is level, with benches.
Tolls, parking, the permit and GST.
The 8 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
The birding season, roughly November to March, is also the mildest time on this coast, with cool mornings. October and November can bring heavy rain, and from April the plains of Vellore and Kanchipuram are very hot. For elders, December to February is the most comfortable.
It is short, only about 45 km and under an hour, and elders can doze in the reclining seats. Lay out clothes the night before, keep a flask of tea in the van and have breakfast after the lake. The Urbania drops them near the gate so the walk is small.
