Pickup at your gate
The tempo traveller is at your gate at half past five, and children can sleep in the back for the first two hours. For a hospital visit, tell us the appointment time and we plan the start around it. Bags go behind the last row. If you come back to Mysore late on the last day, remember that shops and most restaurants close before ten at night, so do the sweet shopping before you leave. The first halt is at Maddur, about 65 km out.

Snack halt
At Maddur the van leaves the expressway for a short tea and vada halt, about an hour from Mysore. The vada is said to have begun with vendors on the town's railway platform. Maddur is also a tender coconut centre, and a coconut is a good drink for children before the long stretch. Fifteen minutes, then breakfast at Bidadi, about 45 km ahead. If someone loves birds, Kokkarebellur with its nesting storks is 12 km away, but not on this trip.

Breakfast
Bidadi is the breakfast stop, about 110 km from Mysore, near where the expressway ends. Soft thatte idli is easy for children to eat, and the eateries line the old road between Bidadi and Kumbalgodu, reached by the service road exit. Twenty five minutes in all, while the driver fills fuel nearby. Bidadi is also linked to the city by train and bus, handy if a relative wants to join here. Then the van takes NICE Road round to Hosur Road.

Into Tamil Nadu
Hosur is the first Tamil Nadu town, about 175 km from Mysore. Before it, the Attibele toll at the state border is paid, and the driver shows the permit at the check post. The family gets tea and the restroom at a highway hotel in fifteen minutes. Farms around Hosur grow roses in large numbers, along with tomatoes, cabbage and beans, so roadside stalls are fresh. Its temple of Shiva on the hill is the best known in town. Krishnagiri is about 50 km on.

Fruit stop
Krishnagiri, about 225 km from Mysore, is the mango district of Tamil Nadu, and roadside stalls sell Totapuri and Alphonso fruit in season. Out of season, look for mango pulp and juice in bottles. The town also has a sweet called Arcot makkan peda. Ten minutes for fruit, then the van turns from NH44 onto NH48 east towards Ambur and Vellore. The stretch from Hosur to here is being widened, so expect a few work zones.

Lunch
Ambur is the lunch stop, about 295 km out, roughly halfway between the two big cities on this highway. The town is famous for biryani made the local way, and families who want vegetarian food find plain meals just as easily. Ambur and Vaniyambadi, about 16 km apart, are both known as biryani stops on this road. Children can stretch their legs before the last hour. Most rain here falls in October and November, when the road can be wet. Forty minutes.

Drop at your hotel
With the halts, the drive takes about seven hours. The van drops the family at the hotel or the CMC area, then parks off the main road. Hotels and lodges cluster near the hospital, and the main bus stand is by the Palar bridge. Vellore biryani, like Ambur's, uses jeera samba rice, if anyone wants it again for dinner. Summers here are very hot, so plan sightseeing for the morning and evening and rest in the afternoon.
Looking for a Mysore to Vellore tempo traveller for a family trip to the Golden Temple or a CMC visit? The van collects you at home or at Mysuru Junction and takes the NICE road past Bangalore. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.

Vellore is about 345 km from Mysore, about 690 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller takes the expressway to Bidadi, NICE Road round the city, Hosur Road and NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH48 through Ambur. With breakfast, lunch and tea halts, plan on about seven hours by tempo traveller.
Yes, with parking and GST.
The 12 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, that works. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
Only if the driver drives late at night; then a night allowance is added. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes, it is near Jolarpet, on the way back.
The heaviest rain on this side comes with the northeast monsoon in October and November, and Vellore's wettest month is September. NH48 stays open, but town roads at Ambur and Vellore can flood for a few hours after a heavy shower. We keep the pace slower and avoid evening driving on those days.
Yes, with breaks. We stop at Maddur, Bidadi, Hosur and Ambur, so the longest stretch is under two hours. Pack snacks, water, a change of clothes and something to do. Children can sleep in the back seats during the early part of the drive.
