Group pickup
Twenty people board quickest from a spot where the mini bus can stand for ten minutes without blocking traffic, so choose a ground or wide road on the Varuna side of town. From there the driver is straight onto the road to T Narasipura and Kollegal, which later climbs over MM Hills into Tamil Nadu. Six hours or so brings a mini bus to Yercaud. If the group comes home on a Sunday evening, the palace is lit from 7 pm, worth a short detour.
Breakfast for twenty
Kollegal is the morning meal for the mini bus, and thirty five minutes suits twenty people with a queue for the restrooms. On the Kollegal bank of the Kaveri lies Bharachukki falls, and BR Hills is 25 to 30 km off via Yelandur, but both belong to another weekend. Our road today is SH 79, east through Kamagere towards Hanur. Ring the Mettur hotel from here with the lunch head count, so plates are ready when the bus pulls in.
Tea and water
Hanur gives the group a quarter of an hour for tea and a refill of water cans, the last chance at a proper market on the Karnataka side. Pilgrim traffic for the MM Hills shrine passes through this town, and in March festival weeks the police have shut the road beyond Kowdalli to two wheelers and autos, so the hill road fills with buses. On such dates our mini bus may crawl. The leader should count heads before the forest begins.
Temple halt
Halfway through the drive comes MM Hills, and a group can take half an hour here for darshan. The shrine is at around 3,000 ft. Anyone thinking of breaking the trip should know that rooms are only in guest houses run by mutts and government offices, booked ahead. Phones lose signal often on this hill, so agree where everyone will gather. After the temple the mini bus winds down through sanctuary forest towards the Palar border post.
Lunch for twenty
Lunch is at Mettur, the first big town after the border, and fifty minutes keeps twenty people from rushing. If the group ever returns with a spare morning, boats from Nerinjipettai, a village at the foot of Palamalai some 4 km out, cross the reservoir to Poolampatti, where films are shot. Locals call Mettur the aluminium city because of its plants. The road to Salem, about 50 km, is broad and quick.
Tea and fuel
At Salem the mini bus tops up fuel and the group takes tea, fifteen minutes in all. The city is a big crossroads, where Kerala and Coimbatore bound traffic peels away from the Madurai highway, so the driver keeps to the bypass where possible. A zoo at Kurumbapatti lies about 12 km from the bus stand, an idea for a spare day. From the terminus the hill road climbs about 30 km to Yercaud, so keep snacks light.
Group drop
Six hours or so from the start, the mini bus pulls up at your hotel in Yercaud. You are now around 1,515 m up in the Shevaroy hills, and the air stays cool through the year, though August to October brings the wettest weeks. Salem airport is some 38 km down the hill for anyone flying on. Estate pepper and cardamom make easy gifts. The leader should announce one place and time to gather for dinner.
Is a Mysore to Yercaud mini bus right for a hill weekend with a group too big for a van? It is the right size: one bus, one bill, one plan. Every size is listed on mini bus on rent in Mysore, or call us with your date. Pickup is anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mandakalli airport.

Yercaud is about 255 km from Mysore, about 510 km for the round trip. The mini bus goes through Kollegal, Hanur and MM Hills, crosses into Tamil Nadu at Palar, then Mettur and Salem, and climbs the ghat. A mini bus needs about six hours with halts.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Breakfast at Hanur, roughly 85 km from Mysore and lunch at Mettur, around 175 km out. Both can serve twenty people fast.
They are extra: GST, tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit and parking go on the bill at actual cost.
The 25 seater: everyone sits and the bags fit. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes. A drive beyond 10 pm adds the driver's night bata, shown in your quote before booking. Our card says ₹600 to ₹700, by size per night.
Yes, but it is slower. Yercaud gets most of its rain from August to October, and the ghat from Salem is wet and often misty. The mini bus climbs in low gear with lights on. In the dry months it is an easy climb. The forest crossing near MM Hills is always planned in daylight.
Not all the way. The ghat down to Salem is fine with care, but the forest between Mettur, Palar and MM Hills is best avoided after dark, with animals on the road and night limits on heavy vehicles. Leave Yercaud early in the morning, or break the return at Salem for the night.
