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. It has long been a place of shared worship. Access, timings and arrangements can change around festival periods, so check with local authorities before your visit and dress modestly.

Mullayanagiri Peak
At about 1,930 metres, mullayanagiri is the highest peak in Karnataka. Cars can go up to the parking area, and a flight of steps leads to a small Shiva temple at the top, with a cave and Nandi statue nearby. On clear mornings the view across rolling shola grasslands is spectacular. The same vehicle pass covers this road, so plan both peaks together.
Seethalayanagiri
On the way up to Mullayanagiri, the Seethalayanagiri Mallikarjuna temple sits on a ridge surrounded by green slopes. It is a calm stop with fine views, and is often less crowded than the main peak.
Manikyadhara Falls
A short drive beyond the shrine, manikyadhara falls trickles over the rock in fine streams that pilgrims consider sacred. Many visitors bathe here before visiting the shrine. A flight of steps leads down to the falls, and the spot is at its best just after the monsoon.
Gaalikere
Gaalikere, meaning windy lake, is a small pond set in open grassland on the ridge. The walk to it is short and the setting is quiet and scenic, with cool winds and mist that can roll in suddenly. It is popular with photographers and trekkers on the baba budangiri trek routes.
Jhari Falls
Also called Buttermilk Falls for its milky white water, Jhari Falls lies inside a coffee estate below the range. The last stretch is usually covered by local jeeps, as the track is rough. The natural pool at the base makes it a family favourite.
Kemmangundi, Z Point and Hebbe Falls
Around 30 kilometres from Baba Budangiri, Kemmangundi is a hill station once used as the summer retreat of the Mysore kings, with gardens and a short walk to Z Point for sunset views. Nearby Hebbe Falls drops in two stages through dense forest and is reached by estate jeeps and a short walk. Combine these on the second day of your trip.
Hirekolale Lake
About ten kilometres from Chikmagalur town, Hirekolale Lake is framed by the Mullayanagiri range and is especially beautiful at sunset. It is an easy stop on the way back from the hills.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For leadership offsites and team retreats at Chikmagalur estate resorts, with a guided Mullayanagiri sunrise. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval and a dedicated Urbania chauffeur. Our corporate urbania hire bangalore option is managed by the corporate travels bangalore desk.
Our most booked option: three days covering Belur, Chikmagalur, Baba Budangiri, Manikyadhara and Hirekolale. Every seat reclines, so grandparents stay comfortable on the long drive, and the chauffeur stays with the family throughout.
The 12 and 13 seater luxury urbania rental bangalore configurations add generous legroom, ambient lighting and LCD entertainment, ideal for NRI family visits and milestone celebrations in coffee country.
A relaxed weekend built around coffee: estate walks, the Coffee Museum and a visit to the hills where Baba Budan planted the first beans. It pairs well with a chikmagalur tour package from bangalore that includes Kemmangundi or Hebbe Falls.

The baba budangiri distance from bangalore is approximately 270 to 280 kilometres via NH75, Hassan, Belur and Chikmagalur. The drive takes 6 to 6.5 hours including the hill section. Most groups stay in Chikmagalur and go up the hills the next morning.
Force Urbania hire starts from Rs 50 per km for the 8 seater, with larger configurations priced higher, all garage to garage with fuel included. As a rough guide, a two-day round trip of about 620 km in an 8 seater works out near Rs 31,000 before tolls, parking, entry pass fees, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST.
The fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll and parking, interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged separately, as are the hill entry pass fees. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific Urbania variant on your date. Weekends and long weekends book out early.
Yes. The Chikkamagaluru district administration requires a pre-booked online vehicle entry pass for Mullayanagiri and Inam Dattatreya Peetha, with a limited number of vehicles per slot. Book on the official district tourism portal before you travel, especially for weekends.
The Urbania can travel the hill road to the Datta Peetha area with a valid pass. Rules for the final stretch to Mullayanagiri change from time to time, and larger vehicles may need to park lower down while visitors continue by local jeep. Our team confirms the current arrangement before your trip.
September to February offers clear views, cool weather and green hills after the monsoon. The monsoon months are beautiful but misty and slippery, and summer is warmer but good for clear sunrises.
No. Bangalore, Hassan, Belur and Chikmagalur are all in Karnataka, so no interstate permit is required.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure is free, with a full advance refund within 5 to 7 working days. Charges of 10 to 75 percent apply closer to departure, and a no-show is charged in full.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance, so please arrange personal travel insurance if you need it. To book, WhatsApp or call +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your date, pickup point, group size and preferred Urbania variant. Our urbania on rent bangalore team sends a written quote within 2 hours.
