Family pickup
Wedding parties and family groups of nine to twenty usually board our tempo traveller at 5 am for Bagalkot, which is a nine and a half hour day with halts. Put gift boxes and the function clothes in tagged bags at the rear, and keep one bag of snacks, water and wet wipes by the front seats for the little ones. Pillows help children nap until breakfast. By sunrise the van is well past Nelamangala on NH48.

Breakfast
The van's first halt is breakfast at Tumkur (Tumakuru), 70 km from home. A highway restaurant with parking serves thatte idli and vada, quick for a family. Half an hour is enough. Tumakuru is a city at about 800 m, so mornings here are cool in winter, and Shivagange hill is about 25 km away, back towards Bangalore, a family climb for another day. Then the long stretch of NH48 begins. The van parks right in front of the hotel.

Tea
Twenty minutes for tea and toilets once the van reaches Chitradurga, 200 km from home. Our route turns off NH48 onto NH50 at this city. Tell the children to look out for the giant rocks of the fort; on the return there is time to go inside and find a 40 ft swing stand and an old wrestlers' gymnasium. A relative who must leave early can catch a train to Bengaluru from Chitradurga station.

Lunch
Hosapete, about 325 km along, is the lunch town. Ask the hotel for a children's plate with less chilli alongside the regular North Karnataka meal. A story for the table: the emperor Krishnadevaraya founded this town in 1520 and named it in memory of his mother. Afterwards, top up water and pick bananas from the stalls, because the next 95 km to Ilkal pass only small towns. Kushtagi comes first, about 70 km north.

Leg stretch
Kushtagi, 395 km from Bangalore, gives the children ten minutes to run about while the adults have tea. Ruby red pomegranates from the orchards nearby are sold by the kilo, a fine snack for the last hour. Older family members may want to see the Durga Devi shrine in the town. NH50 carries on north from here, and the van follows it to Ilkal, about 25 km ahead, before turning off for Bagalkot.

Saree stop
At Ilkal, 420 km out, wedding families often want twenty minutes in a saree shop, and the van can stand near the looms. Each Ilkal saree is set up on a warp of its own, and the border and pallu are woven separately before joining, which is why the borders look so crisp. Women across three states wear them. From here the Bagalkot road leaves NH50, and the town is about 45 km away.

Arrival
After about nine and a half hours the family arrives in Bagalkot. Navanagar, the planned new town, holds most of the hotels and halls, and its broad roads make parking the van simple. The Ghataprabha river flows past the town, with crumbling fort walls at its edge. Ask for karadantu, the dry fruit sweet of Amingad, if you need gifts for the hosts. Rest well; a temple day trip can follow tomorrow.
Is a family of 9 to 20 going to Bagalkot for a wedding, or to see the Chalukya temples at Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal? A Bangalore to Bagalkot tempo traveller keeps everyone together for the long run north. Tejas Tours & Travels offers every tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore from 9 to 20 seats.

By road the distance is about 465 km, which means close to 930 km for the whole return trip. The tempo traveller runs north on NH48 to Chitradurga, turns onto NH50 for Hosapete and Kushtagi, and branches off at Ilkal for Bagalkot. A family should plan on about nine and a half hours on the road, meals and stops included.

The 20 seater: ₹40,800 for 4 days. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes, from Bagalkot. Start at 7 am; the three are close together. It is a full day.
Near your hotel. His stay is covered by the daily allowance.
Yes. NH48 to Chitradurga is a four-lane highway, and the Hosapete to Ilkal road is in fair shape.
Very hot from April, and the drive through Hosapete, Kushtagi and Ilkal is open and dry. In summer, travel early, keep the AC on through the afternoon and carry two water bottles per person. October to March is the comfortable season for Bagalkot and the temple towns around it.
Short legs and something to look forward to. The van halts at Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Hosapete and Kushtagi, and the saree shops at Ilkal make a walk before the final stretch. Pack pillows for the dawn start, snacks, water, a spare set of clothes and a few games. Carsick children do best near a window towards the front.
