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 395 to 410 kilometres via Anantapur, Tadipatri, Banaganapalle and Allagadda, or about 367 kilometres via Madanapalle and Kadapa. A mini bus takes 8 to 9 hours including breaks.
Pricing starts from around Rs 30 per kilometre for a 12 seater AC mini bus and varies with seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration and the number of days. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll and parking, Andhra Pradesh interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged separately at actuals, and the final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. Local jeep charges for the forest shrines are paid separately.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific mini bus variant on your travel date. The advance must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card. A receipt is issued within 30 minutes, and the balance is settled at trip end.
The hill road from Lower to Upper Ahobilam is narrower than the highway, and a mini bus generally manages it far more comfortably than a full-size bus, parking close to the Upper Ahobilam temple. Road conditions can vary, especially after rain, so our driver checks locally. Some shrines, such as Pavana Narasimha, are reached only by local jeep or on foot.
Plan at least three days: one for the drive, one full day for the Nava Narasimha circuit and one for the return, with Belum Caves or Yaganti on the way. Four to five days allow you to add Mahanandi and Srisailam. The same mini bus and driver stay with you throughout.
Our minibus hire bangalore fleet covers 12, 14, 17, 20 and 24 seater configurations. For 12 to 15 pilgrims, a 14 or 17 seater is comfortable; for 18 to 24, choose a 20 or 24 seater. Mention luggage and pooja items at enquiry so we recommend the right size for a multi-day trip.
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.
The temples generally open early in the morning and close by evening, with breaks, and the forest shrines 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.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services; all our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats, so we plan the journey as daytime drives with overnight stays. We also do not provide passenger insurance cover, so pilgrims are advised to arrange their own travel insurance, particularly for the forest treks.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 percent of the total fare, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, and between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent. Multi-day outstation trips need a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund. Our mini bus booking online and WhatsApp lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
