How to Reach South-India
By Air
The primary gateway to South India is Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), well-connected to major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad, as well as international hubs. From Bengaluru, Mysuru (Mysore) is about a 3-hour drive (150 km), Coorg (Madikeri) around 5 hours (250 km), and Ooty approximately 6 hours (270 km) by road. For Kodaikanal and Ooty, the nearest airports are Madurai Airport (IXM) and Coimbatore International Airport (CJB), respectively, both about 2-3 hours away by car. TravMe’s private cabs ensure comfortable transfers from these airports to your destinations.
By Train
Mysuru Junction is well-connected by rail to Bengaluru, Chennai, and other South Indian cities, making it a convenient entry point for Mysore and nearby Coorg. For Ooty, the Nilgiri Mountain Railway from Mettupalayam (near Coimbatore) offers a scenic toy train experience, connecting you to the hill station. Coimbatore Junction and Madurai Junction serve as railheads for Ooty and Kodaikanal, respectively. From these stations, TravMe provides private cab transfers to your final destination.
By Road
South India boasts a well-maintained road network linking all major cities and hill stations. Bengaluru serves as a central hub with smooth highways to Mysuru, Coorg, and Ooty. The drive to Coorg from Mysuru takes around 3 hours, while Ooty is accessible via scenic routes from Coimbatore or Mysuru. Kodaikanal is best reached by road from Madurai, a 3-hour drive through winding mountain roads. TravMe’s private cab services offer flexible and comfortable road travel, allowing you to enjoy the picturesque landscapes at your own pace.
