Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.

Birthplace of Tipu Sultan
The journey starts on Bellary Road past Hebbal and heads north toward Kempegowda International Airport. Devanahalli, just beyond the airport turn, has a stone fort and is traditionally regarded as the birthplace of Tipu Sultan, marked by a small memorial. Leaving before 6:00 AM helps you avoid airport-road traffic.
Land of Sir M. Visvesvaraya
Chikkaballapur is the district town for Nandi Hills and lies close to Muddenahalli, the birthplace of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, whose memorial is a short detour. Highway restaurants here are a good early breakfast stop

Last Karnataka Town on NH44
The highway runs through rocky hills and dry farmland. Bagepalli, near the Chitravathi river, is one of the last Karnataka towns on NH44, and the state border follows soon after, where interstate permits are checked.

Home of the Hanging Pillar
Just after entering Andhra Pradesh, a short detour of around fifteen kilometres leads to Lepakshi. Its Veerabhadra Temple is famous for a pillar that does not fully touch the ground, the giant monolithic Nandi and superb ceiling paintings. If you have an hour, it is one of the finest stops on this route.

Second Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire
Penukonda was the second capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, and its hill fort, old gateways, Gagan Mahal palace and temples still stand around the town. Puttaparthi, home of Prasanthi Nilayam, lies about forty kilometres away for those who want to add it.

Groundnut Bowl of Andhra Pradesh
Anantapur is the largest town on the first half of the drive and the centre of one of the country's biggest groundnut-growing districts. It is the natural lunch halt, with plenty of restaurants near the bypass.

Home of the Longest Plains Cave System in India
The land becomes flatter, with limestone quarries and cement plants along the road. Belum, near Kolimigundla, is home to the famous caves, and a visit of around an hour and a half fits well on the way in.

Stone Carving Town of Rayalaseema
Allagadda sits on the Kurnool to Kadapa highway and is known for its traditional stone carving workshops, where artisans shape granite idols and temple sculptures. It is also the nearest large town to Ahobilam, with fuel stations and ATMs, so this is the place to stock up before the final stretch.

Nava Narasimha Kshetram
The last leg runs toward the rising Nallamala hills, with the landscape turning greener and rockier as you approach. The road ends at Lower Ahobilam, where the temple gopuram comes into view above the village. Elapsed time from Bangalore: around eight hours with halts.

The bangalore to ahobilam distance is approximately 360 to 370 kilometres via Hoskote, Chintamani, Madanapalle, Rayachoti, Kadapa and Allagadda. A bus takes 8 to 9 hours including breakfast and lunch halts. The alternate route via Anantapur and Tadipatri is about 400 kilometres.
Pricing starts from around Rs 45 per kilometre for a 29 seater bus and varies with seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration, and whether you choose a standard, Volvo or BharatBenz coach. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll, parking, Andhra Pradesh interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and the final rental is calculated garage to garage on total kilometres and hours. You receive an itemised written quote within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific bus on your date. It must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes. For large corporate bookings above Rs 50,000, a higher advance may be required.
Plan at least three days: one for the drive from Bangalore with evening darshan at Lower Ahobilam, one full day for the Nava Narasimha circuit, and one for the return, optionally via Mahanandi or Brahmamgari Matam. The same bus and driver stay with you throughout, with driver night halt charges included in the written quote.
Large buses usually park at Lower Ahobilam, and some of the Nava Narasimha temples can be reached only on foot or by local jeep along forest tracks. Groups typically arrange local jeeps or smaller vehicles for these stretches. If you want to drive further up the hill road, a mini bus or tempo traveller is more suitable, and we will advise you when you share your group size.
Yes. The route crosses from Karnataka into Andhra Pradesh, so Andhra Pradesh interstate tax applies. It is billed separately at actuals and shown in your written quote, and our drivers handle the border formalities.
The temples generally open early in the morning and close by evening, with breaks in between, and the forest temples are best visited in daylight. As ahobilam temple timings are set by the temple administration and change during festivals, please confirm them before your visit. October to February is the most comfortable season, as summers in the Nallamala hills are very hot.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our buses are seated configuration with push-back seats, so we plan the Ahobilam journey as a daytime drive with overnight stays near the temples, which is safer and more comfortable for pilgrims.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required, particularly for the forest treks. All buses carry valid vehicle insurance and full statutory compliance, and every driver is verified with a heavy vehicle licence and interstate route experience.
Cancelling more than 7 days before departure carries no charge, with the full advance refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 4 and 7 days the charge is 10 percent of the total fare, between 48 hours and 4 days 25 percent, between 24 and 48 hours 50 percent, and under 24 hours 75 percent. Multi-day outstation hire needs a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund.
