Door pickup · or via Ooty
Two forest ghats and a tea plateau: a road trip from Mysuru, done in daylight.
From Mysuru, Valparai is about 310–340 km by road, 8–9 hours via Chamarajanagar, the Hasanur (Dhimbam) ghat, Sathyamangalam and Pollachi. This package includes door pickup in Mysuru and either a long daytime drive straight to Valparai (3 days 2 nights) or a scenic break in Ooty via Bandipur and Mudumalai (4 days 3 nights). A bus from Mysuru to Coimbatore is a cheaper alternative, with the package then starting in Coimbatore.
Option A: door pickup in Mysuru, with road travel included and priced into the quote. Option B: take a bus from Mysuru to Coimbatore (about 5–6 hours) and the package starts in Coimbatore; your bus ticket is not included. Forest stretches on both road routes have night-time traffic restrictions, so all our driving is in daylight.
Day 1Day 1
A 6 AM start from Mysuru gets you through the Hasanur (Dhimbam) ghat in the morning, with lunch near Pollachi and the climb up the 40 hairpin bends before dark. On the 4D/3N plan, day 1 is shorter: Mysuru → Gundlupet → Bandipur → Mudumalai → Ooty, and day 2 continues via Coimbatore to Valparai.
Day 2Day 2
Sunrise at Nallamudi Poonjolai while mist fills the valley, breakfast, then Sholayar Dam and its backwaters, Chinnakallar Falls if time and weather allow, Sri Balaji Temple and a paddle at Koolangal river. Evening walk on estate roads near your stay.
Day 3Day 3
Leave Valparai by 7 AM to clear the ghat and the forest stretches in daylight, reaching Mysuru by evening. (On the bus option, we drop you at a Coimbatore bus stand instead.)

About 310–340 km by road, 8–9 hours in daylight via Chamarajanagar, the Hasanur (Dhimbam) ghat, Sathyamangalam and Pollachi.
The Sathyamangalam route is the shortest. The Bandipur–Mudumalai–Ooty route is more scenic and suits a night in Ooty. Both have night-time forest traffic restrictions.
Not directly. Take a bus from Mysuru to Coimbatore (5–6 hours), then our cab (3–3.5 hours).
Yes, the 4 days 3 nights plan spends a night in Ooty. See also the Valparai Ooty package.
The quiet tea plateau first, then the Queen of Hill Stations.
