Pickup at your door
Virajpet is only about 105 km from Mysore, so there is no need for a dawn start; the cab can collect you at 8 am and still reach south Coorg by late morning. We come to your house, a palace side hotel or the bus stand. The car takes the Hunsur road from the Hinkal flyover on the ring road and stays clear of the city centre. Pack a light jacket, because Kodagu mornings and evenings are cooler than Mysore, especially from November to February.
Breakfast at Hunsur
Hunsur, 45 km out on the Lakshmana Tirtha river, is the breakfast stop, fifteen minutes for idli and coffee at a simple highway hotel. This is also where the road for Virajpet parts from the Kushalnagar road: SH 90 and SH 86 start here, and our car follows the route south west towards Titimathi and Gonikoppal. If the family enjoys a quiet detour on the way home, the Tibetan monasteries of Rabgayling at Gurupura are about 12 km from the town.
Forest stretch
Titimathi is where the road runs through forest on the edge of the Nagarhole range, about 35 km after Hunsur. Spotted deer are often seen beside the road in the morning, and elephants cross here at times, so the car does not stop and nobody gets out for photos. Keep windows half up and voices low. The forest gives way to coffee estates within a few minutes, and Gonikoppal is only 10 km on.
Coffee and pepper
Gonikoppal, which locals also shorten to Gonikoppa, is where south Coorg comes to shop, and it falls under Ponnampet taluk. Plantations on every side produce coffee and black pepper, so a ten minute halt for freshly ground coffee powder and a bag of peppercorns is worth it. The car stops at the shop door. Devotees sometimes ask about Baadagarakeri, close by, whose Mrutyunjaya shrine is believed to be unique in the south. Virajpet is roughly 15 km further.
Drop at the house
In Virajpet the cab leaves you at the family's house or at your hotel. The town was founded in 1792 by the Kodagu king Dodda Vira Rajendra and is today the biggest place in the south of the district, a short run from Kerala. Ask your hosts for pandi curry with kadambuttu, or akki otti for breakfast. April and May afternoons go past 34 C, while the monsoon is heavy. Kannur airport lies roughly 59 km away for onward flights.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Virajpet is roughly 105 km from Mysore, around 210 km there and back. The car takes the Hunsur road, then the forest stretch by Titimathi and the coffee town of Gonikoppal into south Kodagu. With one breakfast stop, plan on about 2 hours.
A Dzire or Etios is enough. The full size list is on cab rental in Mysore.
Tolls on the 105 km Virajpet road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at cost.
Night allowance on the Virajpet run applies after 10 pm: ₹400 a night.
Most estate roads are fine for an Innova. Very steep ones need a jeep.
One way to Virajpet, 105 km, is quoted when you ask at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
The road from Mysore to Virajpet stays open, but it is slow in heavy rain, and Kodagu roads have unmarked speed breakers. The road from Virajpet down to Kerala has been closed in past monsoons after slips, so if you continue to Kannur or Thalassery in July, we check it the day before.
It is possible, but we advise against it. The Titimathi forest stretch has elephants crossing at times, and after dark wild animals and lorries make the road slower. Leave Virajpet by late afternoon and you reach Mysore before night. If a function runs late, stay the night and drive back in the morning.
