Durga Temple
The most photographed monument in Aihole, the Durga Temple stands out for its rounded, apsidal plan and the pillared corridor that runs around the whole shrine. The walls and pillars carry fine carvings of Shiva, Vishnu, Narasimha and Mahishasuramardini. Despite the name, the temple is generally believed to take its title from a nearby durga, or fort, rather than from the goddess. Walk the full corridor slowly; the sculpture panels reward close attention.

Lad Khan Temple
Among the earliest temples in Aihole, Lad Khan has a flat roof, a large pillared hall and stone window screens with delicate lattice work. Its name comes from a person who is said to have lived in the temple much later. The simple, hall-like form shows how early Chalukya builders borrowed from assembly halls before the tower became the norm, which makes it essential for anyone interested in architecture.
Ravana Phadi Cave Temple
A rock-cut cave shrine on the edge of the village, Ravana Phadi is dedicated to Shiva and holds powerful carvings of Nataraja, Ardhanarishvara, Ganga and Yamuna. The cave is cool even in the afternoon, and its sculpture is among the finest in Aihole. It is a short walk or drive from the main complex and easy to miss, so ask your driver to include it.
Meguti Jain Temple
Perched on Meguti hill, this Jain temple is famous for the Aihole inscription of 634 CE, composed by the poet Ravikirti in praise of the Chalukya king Pulakeshin II. The inscription records his victory over Harshavardhana and is one of the key sources for early Deccan history. The climb is short and the view over the village, its temples and the Malaprabha plain is the best in Aihole, especially at sunset.
Hucchimalli Gudi and Galaganatha Group
Hucchimalli Gudi is an early temple with a northern-style tower and a well-preserved porch, often discussed by historians for its transitional design. The Galaganatha group, near the river, is a cluster of smaller shrines built in different styles over several decades. Together they show the experimentation that earned Aihole its reputation, and they are far quieter than the main complex.
ASI Archaeological Museum, Aihole
Next to the Durga Temple complex, the Archaeological Survey of India sculpture gallery displays carvings, inscriptions and architectural fragments collected from across Aihole. It gives useful context before you explore the rest of the village. The museum is usually closed on Fridays, so plan your visit accordingly.
Pattadakal Group of Monuments
Thirteen kilometres from Aihole, Pattadakal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Chalukya kings were crowned. Here the southern and northern temple styles stand side by side, with the Virupaksha Temple, built by Queen Lokamahadevi, as the grandest example. The riverside setting is especially beautiful in the late afternoon.
Badami Cave Temples and Agastya Lake
Badami, the ancient Vatapi and capital of the early Chalukyas, is 35 kilometres from Aihole and the most practical overnight base, with the widest choice of hotels. Four rock-cut cave temples, cut into red sandstone cliffs, overlook Agastya Lake, with the Bhutanatha temples on the far shore. The 18-armed Nataraja in Cave 1 and the Vishnu carvings in Cave 3 are highlights.
Mahakuta and Banashankari Temples
Near Badami, Mahakuta is a peaceful temple complex around a sacred spring-fed tank, while the Banashankari Temple, dedicated to the goddess Banashankari, draws large crowds during its annual jatre in January. Both make an easy add-on to a Badami day.

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.
Kalpataru Nadu
The drive leaves Bangalore along Tumakuru Road past Yeshwanthpur, Peenya and Nelamangala, where the toll road opens up. Tumakuru is known as "Kalpataru Nadu", the Land of Coconut Palms, for its vast coconut plantations, and it is also home to the Siddaganga Mutt, one of the most respected educational and spiritual institutions in the state. Leaving early matters here, as the Peenya industrial stretch gets congested after 7:30 AM. Many drivers stop just past Tumakuru for coffee and idli at one of the well-known highway darshinis.
Mughal Seat of the South
Sira was once the headquarters of the Mughal province of Sira, which gives it the identity of "Mughal Seat of the South". The town still holds the tomb of Malik Rihan, a Mughal governor, and remains of an old fort. The highway bypasses the town centre, but the Malik Rihan dargah is only a short detour for travellers interested in Deccan history. The landscape here turns drier, with groundnut fields and rocky hillocks.
Home of Vani Vilas Sagar
Hiriyur sits on the Vedavathi river and is the "Home of Vani Vilas Sagar", also called Mari Kanive, completed in the early 1900s and one of the oldest dams in Karnataka. The dam lies about 20 kilometres off the highway and makes a good detour on the return journey. Hiriyur also has the Teru Malleshwara Temple, known for its tall lamp pillar. The highway restaurants here are popular breakfast stops if you left Bangalore very early.
Fort City of Karnataka
Chitradurga is the "Fort City of Karnataka", famous for the Kallina Kote, or Stone Fort, a vast hill fortress with seven concentric walls built largely by the Nayakas of Chitradurga. It is linked to the legend of Onake Obavva, who defended the fort with a pestle. If time allows, a two-hour visit is worth it, although most Aihole travellers save it for the return. From here the route turns north onto NH50.
Gateway to Hampi
Hosapete, also called Hospet, is the "Gateway to Hampi", just 13 kilometres from the UNESCO-listed ruins of Vijayanagara. The town is also known for the Tungabhadra Dam, whose gardens and illuminated evening view draw visitors from across the state. Hosapete is the natural lunch halt, with a good range of restaurants. Travellers who want to combine Hampi with Aihole often stay a night here on the way up or on the way back.
Pomegranate Belt of North Karnataka
Kushtagi lies in Koppal district, in the heart of the "Pomegranate Belt of North Karnataka", and from late summer to winter you will see fruit stalls along the highway selling fresh pomegranates and guavas. The countryside is flat and open, with sunflower and jowar fields stretching to the horizon. It is a good place to stretch your legs before the final stretch north.
Saree Town of Karnataka
Ilkal is the "Saree Town of Karnataka", famous for the Ilkal saree, a handwoven cotton and silk saree with a distinctive red border and a GI tag. Weaving families still work on looms in the town, and a few shops sell directly from the looms at fair prices. Ilkal is also known for its pink granite quarries. It is worth a 30-minute stop, especially for shoppers.
Cradle of Indian Temple Architecture
The final stretch brings you into Aihole, the "Cradle of Indian Temple Architecture", where temples appear among village homes and fields. Your driver can drop you at the Durga Temple complex or take you straight to your hotel in Badami, 35 kilometres away, if you prefer to start sightseeing the next morning. A typical plan is Aihole and Pattadakal on day two, with Badami, Mahakuta and Banashankari on day three.
Aihole, Pattadakal and Badami are among the most important sites for students of history, architecture and art. Our tempo traveller for school trip bangalore package includes verified drivers, a first aid kit, strict headcounts and schedules planned around site timings.

The aihole distance from bangalore is approximately 470 kilometres via Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Hosapete, Kushtagi and Ilkal. The drive takes 8 hours 30 minutes to 9 hours 30 minutes including meal halts. Many groups break the journey at Hosapete to spend a day at Hampi.
Our 12 and 13 seater AC tempo travellers start from Rs 22 per km, with other sizes and luxury variants priced higher. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance, while toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra. Final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
We recommend three to four days in total: one day for the drive, one full day for Aihole and Pattadakal, one day for Badami and nearby temples, and one day for the return, ideally with a stop at Hampi. The same tempo traveller and driver stay with the group throughout.
Aihole has very limited accommodation, so most groups stay in Badami, about 35 kilometres away, which has a range of hotels and a state tourism hotel. Hosapete and Hampi are good options for the night on the way. We recommend booking accommodation before confirming the vehicle.
For 8 to 10 people, an 8, 9 or 10 seater executive tempo traveller with individual captain seats is very comfortable on a long drive. For 11 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater is our most popular and economical choice. For 14 to 18, the larger models give everyone a seat with luggage space. For bigger groups, we recommend a mini bus.
No. The entire route from Bangalore to Aihole, Pattadakal, Badami and Hampi lies within Karnataka, so no interstate permit is required. If you extend the trip to Goa, the Goa permit will be added to the quote.
October to February is the best period, with pleasant temperatures for walking around the temple sites. Summers from March to May are extremely hot in Bagalkot district, and the monsoon brings occasional heavy rain. Early mornings and late afternoons are the most comfortable times to explore.
Yes. The main temple complexes at Aihole, Pattadakal and Badami are protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, and entry tickets are sold at the sites. These fees are paid directly by the group and are not part of the vehicle quote.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking, paid by UPI, bank transfer or card, with a receipt within 30 minutes. 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, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent, and less than 12 hours 75 percent of the total fare.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers should arrange their own travel insurance if needed. All vehicles carry valid insurance and full statutory compliance, and every driver is police-verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel dates, pickup location, group size and preferred tempo traveller. A written quote follows within 2 hours.
