Datta Peetha and Baba Budan Shrine
The cave shrine near the summit, officially known as the Inam Dattatreya Peetha, is revered by both Hindus, who associate it with Lord Dattatreya, and Muslims, who honour the Sufi saint Hazrat Dada Hayat and Baba Budan.

Bangalore
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.

Nelamangala
Gateway to the Bengaluru to Mangaluru highway
The trip begins on Tumkur Road past Yeshwanthpur and Peenya, then onto the elevated expressway. Nelamangala is the gateway to the Bengaluru to Mangaluru highway, where NH75 turns west. Early departure keeps this stretch to about forty minutes. Elapsed time: about forty minutes.

Kunigal
Home of India's Oldest Stud Farm
A smooth four-lane run through farmland takes you to Kunigal, home of India's oldest stud farm, where horses have been bred since Tipu Sultan's time. The town also has a large lake that fills after the monsoon. Elapsed time: about one hour fifteen minutes.

Hassan
Poor Man's Ooty and Home of the Hasanamba Temple
Channarayapatna is the gateway to Shravanabelagola, just 12 kilometres away, with its famous Gommateshwara statue. Highway restaurants here and on the Hassan bypass make this the natural breakfast halt. Hassan is often called the Poor Man's Ooty for its pleasant climate, and is home to the Hasanamba Temple, which opens only for a few days each year around Deepavali. Elapsed time: about three hours thirty minutes.

Belur
Dakshina Varanasi, the Hoysala Temple Town
The road narrows and turns greener as you approach the Malnad region. Belur, called Dakshina Varanasi, is the home of the twelfth-century Chennakeshava Temple, part of the Hoysala temples inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The carvings, including the famous Darpana Sundari, reward even a short stop. The Yagachi dam lies just outside town. Elapsed time: about four hours thirty minutes.

Baba Budangiri
Birthplace of Coffee in India
About eight kilometres out of town, the road turns left at Kaimara and begins to climb through coffee and shola forest. A fork ahead leads left to Mullayanagiri and Seethalayanagiri and right towards the Datta Peetha shrine and Manikyadhara Falls. The road is narrow with sharp bends, so our drivers keep a steady pace and use the horn on blind corners. Your vehicle pass is checked on this road. Elapsed time: about six hours thirty minutes.

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. |

What Our Customers Say About Our Cab Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Baba Budangiri Cab
The baba budangiri distance from bangalore is about 275 to 280 kilometres via NH75, Hassan, Belur and Chikmagalur. The drive takes six to seven hours including a breakfast stop and the ghat climb.
Fares start from around Rs 5662 per kilometre for a sedan and rise for SUVs, Innova models and luxury cars. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, GST and driver bata after 9:45 PM are extra, and the final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. You get an itemised written quote within 2 hours.
It is possible but not recommended, as the round trip is over 550 kilometres with narrow hill roads. A two or three day trip with a night in Chikmagalur is safer and far more enjoyable.
Yes. Since September 2025 the Chikkamagaluru district administration requires an online vehicle entry pass for the Mullayanagiri and Datta Peetha road, with a daily limit on vehicles. Book it on the official district website before travelling, and check for any restrictions on larger vehicles. Our team will help you plan around the slot.
September to April offers clear views and pleasant weather. The monsoon from June to September makes the hills lush and the waterfalls full, but fog and landslips can affect roads, so allow extra time.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. It must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, and the balance is settled at the end of the trip.
Yes. On a multi-day bangalore to baba budangiri taxi booking, the same car and driver stay with you for sightseeing across Chikmagalur and the return journey. Your quote covers total kilometres and days.
