Pickup from your place
The van comes to your gate or a hotel at six. The family can sleep a little longer, since Yelagiri is only about six hours away with halts. If the children want a climb on the day you are back, Chamundi Hill above Mysore has a stairway of over 1,000 steps and a big Nandi halfway up. Bags go behind the last row, and a bag of snacks and water stays in front. Pack sweaters for the hill.
Breakfast
Mandya, 45 km out, is where the family breakfasts, off the expressway on the service road. Try a tall glass of sugarcane juice; the district is ringed by cane fields, and jaggery is boiled nearby in little sheds known as alemanes. Mandya is the district's headquarters town, sitting at about 678 m. Twenty five minutes covers breakfast and the restroom, and then the van heads back to the six lane road.
Tea and permit
Once the van is past the city and over the state border, it halts close to Hosur so the Tamil Nadu permit can be bought. Tea and a restroom break for the family meanwhile. Roses are a big crop around here, along with vegetables, and fruit carts park by the highway. If the children want a picnic on another day, the Kelavarapalli reservoir is about 10 km off the road. Then the van rejoins NH44.
Fruit stop
Krishnagiri means a turn onto NH48, towards Vellore and the Yelagiri road. In the mango months, stop ten minutes at a stall for Totapuri or Alphonso fruit; children love the free slices sellers offer. On the drive home there is a boat house and play park at the KRP dam, a short hop from the town bus stand. From the junction, the foot of the hills is about 55 km away.
Family tea break
A fifteen minute tea break at Bargur gives the children a look at the huge granite boulders that crowd this part of NH48. Snack stalls and fuel pumps sit along the road. From here about 35 km of flat highway lead to the turn for the hill, and Yelagiri is roughly 50 km away in all. A good moment to hand out travel sickness tablets before the bends. Small change helps at the stalls.
Before the hairpins
Where the hill road leaves NH48 near Ponneri, the van stops ten minutes for tea and fruit. Up ahead, 14 hairpins wind to the plateau at roughly 1,410 m. Put the children who feel queasy in the middle rows, and keep a bag and some water within reach. A loaded tempo traveller climbs steadily but takes its time, so everyone should stay seated with belts on until the top. The driver checks the brakes here.
Arrival
About 7 to 7.5 hours from Mysore, with these halts, the van rolls into Yelagiri, a hill station of the Eastern Ghats near 1,410 m and about 220 km from Chennai. The family is dropped at the resort. Supervised paragliding and rock climbing are run here for older children. Book resorts early for weekends, when the plateau fills up. Evenings are cool, so keep the sweaters on top of the bags. The van stays at the resort.

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. 👍

Yelagiri is about 305 km from Mysore, about 610 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes by the expressway past Mandya, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, NH48 past Bargur, then up the 14 hairpin road from Ponneri. With halts, plan on about six hours by tempo traveller.
If you come back from Yelagiri after 10 pm, the driver gets a night allowance. We put the amount in your quote. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
The 16 seater, with room for bags. Each size and rate is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Yes, on request. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
Yes, for Yelagiri parking, tolls, GST and the Tamil Nadu permit are added at actual, with every receipt.
Yes. It is around 5 km beyond Yelagiri on this route. Keep 2 to 3 hours for the trek. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate.
Yes, with care. The 14 hairpins get wet and slippery in heavy rain, and the driver keeps to daylight and a low gear. The hills are greenest after the monsoon, from October to December. Avoid driving the ghat late in the evening in the rains.
Sweaters for the cool evenings, caps for the day, comfortable shoes for walks, and travel sickness tablets for the hairpin road. Snacks and water are useful, as shops on the hill are few. If you plan adventure activities, carry light sports wear.
