Places to Visit in Auroville
Sri Kashi Vishweshwara Temple
A long flight of steps leads to this Shiva temple, known as Dakshina Kashi or the Kashi of the South. Its pond is fed by a continuous stream of water flowing from the mouth of a stone Nandi, and the source of that spring has never been traced. Devotees drink the water and believe it has healing qualities. The temple has a main linga with smaller lingas around it, and local legend links the site to Parashurama. Watch your belongings, as the monkeys on the steps are bold.

Watch your belongings, as the monkeys on the steps are bold.
Anthargange Caves and Trek
Behind the temple, a steep trail climbs through huge granite boulders stacked into natural caves and tunnels. The route is about three kilometres and moderately demanding, and some passages mean crawling or squeezing between rocks. Guided treks, including the popular anthargange night trek, are run through the Karnataka forest department's eco-tourism booking system, and access rules change from time to time, so book through official channels and check current conditions. October to March is the best season for the anthargange trek.
Summit Views and Hill Villages
The top of the hill opens onto wide views of Kolar town, lakes and farmland, and sunrise here is the reason most groups start so early. Several small villages sit on the plateau, including Therahalli, and the walk past them shows a slice of rural Kolar life rarely seen from the highway. Carry water, a torch and sturdy shoes, and avoid carrying food openly.
Kolaramma Temple
Kolar's presiding goddess is worshipped in this ancient Dravida-style temple, renovated by Rajendra Chola in the tenth century and later by the Vijayanagara kings. Devotees view the fierce form of the goddess through a mirror rather than directly. A separate shrine to Chelamma, the scorpion goddess, is believed to protect against stings.
Someshwara Temple
A short drive from Kolaramma, the Someshwara Temple is a fine example of fourteenth-century Vijayanagara art, with carved pillars, a large kalyana mandapa and a tall entrance tower. It is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India and is a must for anyone interested in temple architecture.
Kotilingeshwara Temple
At Kammasandra, about 30 kilometres from Kolar, the kotilingeshwara temple is famous for its giant 108-foot linga and 35-foot Nandi, surrounded by lakhs of smaller lingas installed by devotees. Eleven other shrines sit within the complex. Many families book a bangalore to kotilingeshwara cab that includes Anthargange on the way.
Avani
About 32 kilometres from Kolar, Avani is linked by legend to the Ramayana and to Sita's stay at the hermitage of sage Valmiki. The Ramalingeshwara temple group here dates to the Nolamba and Chola periods and features fine early stone carving.
Kolar Gold Fields
KGF, around 30 kilometres from Kolar, was once one of the deepest gold mining operations in the world and gave the district its name as India's Golden Land. The colonial-era bungalows, mine headframes and heaps of mine waste still tell the story. A bangalore to kgf cab can easily be combined with Kotilingeshwara, which is close by.

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.
Attibele
Border Gateway to Tamil Nadu
Attibele is the last town in Karnataka before the Tamil Nadu border, and it is where interstate permits are checked. It is also well known locally for its large seasonal firecracker markets during Diwali.
Hosur
Little England of Tamil Nadu
Hosur is an industrial town with major automobile and electronics plants, but its mild climate once earned it the nickname "Little England". The surrounding area is also known for rose cultivation, with greenhouse flowers exported worldwide.
Krishnagiri
Mango Capital of Tamil Nadu
A fast stretch of NH44 brings you to Krishnagiri, famous for its mango orchards. Between April and July, roadside stalls sell mangoes at excellent prices. The hilltop Krishnagiri Fort and Krishnagiri Dam are visible from the highway, and many highway restaurants here make an ideal breakfast halt.
Uthangarai
Gateway to the Tiruvannamalai Highway
The route leaves NH44 and turns southeast through farmland and rocky hills. Uthangarai is a small market town set among coconut and mango groves, with a relaxed, rural feel.
Tiruvannamalai
Abode of the Fire Lingam
The great Arunachala hill appears long before you reach the town. Tiruvannamalai is home to the Arunachaleswarar Temple, one of the Pancha Bhoota Sthalams, where Shiva is worshipped as the element of fire. Its massive gopurams dominate the skyline, and the town is also known for the Ramana Maharshi Ashram and the Girivalam walk around the hill. It is the best lunch halt on the route.
Gingee
Troy of the East
Gingee Fort spreads across three hills — Rajagiri, Krishnagiri and Chandrayandurg — linked by massive walls. The British once called it the "Troy of the East" because it was so hard to capture. Climbing Rajagiri takes time, but the lower complex with its granary, Kalyana Mahal and temples can be seen in an hour.
Auroville
City of Dawn
The final stretch runs past cashew plantations and red-earth country. A short detour leads to Tiruvakkarai, known for the National Fossil Wood Park, where tree trunks turned to stone millions of years ago lie exposed, and for the Vakrakaliamman Temple. The road then enters the green, tree-shaded lanes of Auroville, with the Visitors Centre a short drive in. Elapsed time from Bangalore: around seven hours with halts

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |

Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Auroville Cab
The bangalore to auroville distance is roughly 305 to 315 kilometres via Krishnagiri, Tiruvannamalai, Gingee and Tindivanam. Travelling bangalore to auroville by road takes about six and a half to seven and a half hours with breakfast and lunch halts. The Vellore and Arcot route is around 340 kilometres but has more four-lane highway.
Fares start from around Rs 6320 for a sedan, with higher rates for Innova Crysta, Hycross, Fortuner and luxury cars. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, interstate tax, 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 your written quote.
Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel date, pickup point, number of travellers and preferred vehicle. You will receive a written quote, and a 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking. Driver name, mobile number and vehicle details are shared in writing before the trip.
Day visitors can see the Matrimandir from the viewing point with a pass from the Visitors Centre. Entry to the inner chamber is limited and needs an advance booking under Auroville's rules, which may change, so check the official Auroville website before your trip.
October to March is the most pleasant period, with cooler days and comfortable evenings. The northeast monsoon usually brings heavy rain from late October to December, so allow some flexibility. April to June is hot and humid.
Yes. Auroville lies mainly in Tamil Nadu, so a Karnataka to Tamil Nadu permit is required. If your plan includes Puducherry, an additional permit may apply. We arrange permits before departure, and the interstate tax is billed separately as listed in your quote.
Both are available. A one way drop to Auroville is billed on garage-to-garage kilometres and hours, which includes the vehicle's return run to Bangalore. For stays of two or three days, keeping the car with you on a round trip is usually better value.
A small advance of around 20 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
