Our Coorg to Coimbatore cab covers around 325 km in 7.5–8.5 hours, descending from Madikeri to Mysore and then heading south through Chamarajanagar, the Dhimbam Ghat and Sathyamangalam into Tamil Nadu. It is a convenient way to reach Coimbatore's airport and railway station after a Coorg holiday, or to continue onward to the Nilgiris, Palakkad or other parts of Kerala, with pickups from any homestay or resort in Kodagu.

One-way fares include fuel and driver allowance (minimum 130 km). Round-trip fares are for the same car returning to Coorg, billed at the round-trip rate with a daily minimum. Tolls, parking and interstate permits are extra where they apply. Tempo Travellers, Urbania and mini buses are available for round trips.
The first leg follows NH275 down to Hunsur, from where drivers head to Mysore's ring road and then Nanjangud and Chamarajanagar. Beyond Chamarajanagar the road enters the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve and drops through the 27 hairpin bends of the Dhimbam Ghat to Bannari and Sathyamangalam. The last stretch runs through Gobichettipalayam or Annur farmland into Coimbatore. An alternative through Ooty and Mettupalayam is longer and slower but very scenic; ask if you would like to include it.
Because night traffic restrictions apply through the forest, departure times from Coorg are planned so that the reserve is crossed in daylight. The forest is lush after the monsoon, and elephants, deer and gaur are often seen from the road; stopping and feeding animals is not allowed.
The Dhimbam hairpins and long distance make an Innova or Innova Crysta a comfortable option for families. Choose a Swift Dzire or Etios for light luggage and up to four travellers, an Ertiga or Innova for six to seven, or an Innova Crysta when you want the most comfortable ride over 325 km. Tempo Travellers, the Force Urbania and mini buses cover group trips.
