Lower Ahobilam — Prahlada Varada Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
The main temple in the village and the natural starting point. Its tall gopuram, carved mandapas and Vijayanagara-era pillars make it the most elaborate structure in Ahobilam. Accommodation, eateries and shops are all nearby, so this is where most visitors stay.

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.










For companies, cooperative societies and associations organising staff or member pilgrimages. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full trip and consolidated billing. Our corporate travels bangalore desk coordinates multiple vehicles for larger groups.
The most requested plan: day one via Tadipatri and Belum Caves to Ahobilam, day two for the full Nava Narasimha darshan, and day three returning via Yaganti or Mahanandi. The driver waits at every shrine, and the schedule is set around temple timings and the pace of elderly members. This is our most popular ahobilam tour package from bangalore and a common tempo traveller for pilgrimage bangalore booking.
For bhajan mandalis, temple associations and community groups where cost per head matters most. Standard 12 to 17 seater tempo travellers, point to point, clean vehicle and verified driver. The tempo traveller rent per km bangalore for the 12 and 13 seater tier starts from Rs 22. Budget refers only to vehicle specification, never to maintenance or driver checks.

The bangalore to ahobilam distance is approximately 375 to 385 kilometres via NH44 to Anantapur, then Tadipatri, Belum, Koilkuntla and Allagadda. The drive takes 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours 30 minutes including a breakfast halt, or a little longer with a stop at Belum Caves.
Pricing starts from Rs 22 per kilometre for a 12 or 13 seater tempo traveller and varies by seating capacity, Standard or Luxury tier, and the number of days. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll and parking, the Andhra Pradesh interstate tax and permit, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and the final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. Every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. It can be paid by UPI, bank transfer or card, a receipt is issued within 30 minutes, and the balance is settled at trip end.
We recommend two full days at Ahobilam, plus a day each way for the drive. The shrines near the road can be covered in half a day, but Upper Ahobilam, Jwala Narasimha, the Ugra Stambham and Pavana Narasimha involve climbs and jeep rides. A relaxed three-day trip lets elderly members complete as many shrines as they are comfortable with.
The tempo traveller can drive to Lower Ahobilam, Upper Ahobilam and the shrines close to the road, such as Chatravata, Yogananda and Karanja. Some shrines, including Malola and Jwala, require walking on forest paths, and Pavana Narasimha is reached only by local four-wheel-drive jeeps. Our driver takes the group to each road point and the jeep stand, and waits there.
The temples generally open early in the morning and close in the evening, with a break in the afternoon at some shrines. Upper Ahobilam and the forest shrines are best visited in daylight. Timings change for festivals and special poojas, so please check the current ahobilam temple timings with the temple or the Ahobila Math before you travel.
Accommodation at Ahobilam is limited and includes guest houses run by the Ahobila Math and the state tourism department, along with a few private lodges. Allagadda, about 25 kilometres away, has more options. Book rooms early, especially for Narasimha Jayanti, the Brahmotsavam and long weekends.
Yes. Crossing from Karnataka into Andhra Pradesh on NH44 requires a valid interstate permit, billed at actuals rather than included in the base rate. We arrange all documentation before departure, and the driver handles the check at the border.
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, between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent, and under 12 hours 75 percent. Date changes and route additions with more than 24 hours notice are accommodated at no penalty, subject to availability.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if they wish to be covered. All vehicles carry valid insurance and full statutory compliance. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel dates, pickup location, group size and the places you want to include. You will receive an itemised quote within 2 hours, and our lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
