Pickup in Mysore
The Urbania comes to your home at six, fuelled the night before. Elders settle into the captain seats for the expressway. If you return during Dasara, the palace is lit with nearly 100,000 bulbs from seven to ten every night of the festival, a lovely sight for elders on the way home. The drive to Yelagiri takes about 7 to 7.5 hours with halts. One bag per person in the rear boot.
Coffee and stretch
At Mandya the Urbania comes off the expressway and stops right at the door of a breakfast hotel, sparing elders a walk. Farmers here eat ragi mudde with naati koli saaru, a country chicken curry, but soft idli and coffee sit easier on a travel morning. Thirumala Sagar lake, about 6 km away, and Kikkeri temple, about 14 km, would fill a quiet day some other time. Twenty minutes, then the expressway again.
Border check
Once the Urbania enters Tamil Nadu, it stops near Hosur so the permit can be paid, and elders find a clean toilet and hot tea at a roadside hotel. The town is pleasant almost all year, with January the coolest month. Close to the highway, on the fringe of the Sanamavu woods, the Dakshina Tirupati shrine draws people for a short darshan. Fifteen minutes here, then about 55 km to Krishnagiri.
Short break
The Urbania turns onto NH48 at Krishnagiri. Elders can rest in their seats with the cool air on while the others buy fruit or a box of Arcot makkan peda, the town's milk sweet. Avathanapatti lake, a short way out of town on the highway side, has a small park for a gentle walk on the return. Lane widening works slow the last stretch from Hosur, so the driver takes it easy.
Drive through
Bargur slips by on NH48 without a stop, and elders can enjoy the big granite domes beside the highway from their windows. If anyone needs a break, stalls and a fuel pump are close. The plain ends soon after; the hill road branches off near Ponneri about 35 km ahead, a little before Vaniyambadi, the town that lies about 20 km from the Yelagiri plateau. The driver keeps an even speed so that elders can doze through this stretch.
Foot of the ghat
Near Ponneri the Urbania leaves NH48 and starts up the hill. Fourteen hairpin bends take the road to about 1,410 m. If anyone feels unwell, the driver halts at the foot, and the tall roof and wide sliding door let elders step out and back in without stooping. On the way up he keeps a low gear and pulls aside on the wider bends to let buses come down. Elders sit in the front rows.
Drop and parking
7 to 7.5 hours or so after Mysore, the Urbania reaches the resort and parks close to the door. The Yelagiri plateau stands about 1,410 m up in the Eastern Ghats, so evenings are cool and elders will want a shawl. Most resorts serve plain South Indian meals. If a family member travels by train, Jolarpettai station is about 19 km from the top, and the van can fetch them. Rest before any outing.
Want a Mysore to Yelagiri Force Urbania for a short hill holiday, a quieter van for 8 to 16 people? Yelagiri: small office teams and families with elders usually choose it. Pickup is from your palace-side hotel, Mysore railway station or the city bus stand, anywhere in Mysuru. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore for the sizes, all at one rate.

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.

Yelagiri is about 305 km from Mysore, or about 610 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes the expressway past Mandya, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, NH48 past Bargur, then the hairpin road from Ponneri. Plan on about six hours by Urbania, including halts.
Past 10 pm on the Yelagiri road, a night bata is added and shown in your quote.
Sure. Send the date and pickup point, and the one way quote comes in writing.
The 12 seater, leaving seats for all and space for bags. Each size and rate is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
No, the km rate leaves out the Tamil Nadu permit, GST, tolls and parking; these are added at actuals.
Leave by 6:00 am. With the halts on this page you reach Yelagiri in around 7 to 7.5 hours. Elders find an early start easier on a cool morning.
October to February, when the hill is green and the evenings are cool but not cold. The plains below are hot from March to June, and the summer festival in May draws crowds. In the rains the ghat is slow, so plan the climb in daylight.
It is short, about 14 hairpins, and the Urbania climbs slowly. Elders sit in the front rows, where the ride is smoothest, and the driver stops at the foot near Ponneri for a few minutes so everyone is settled before the bends.
