One boarding point
NHAI revises toll rates every year from 1 April, so the toll part of a bus fare can move a little. The FASTag annual pass launched in August 2025 covers only private cars, jeeps and vans, not yellow board tourist buses, so on our trips each plaza is paid per crossing at actual. For Belgaum the bus boards at one school ground or office gate at 4:30 am. It is about 505 km, a very long day, so everyone carries water. Breakfast is at Tumakuru.

Breakfast with bus parking
After about 70 km the coach turns into a Tumakuru hotel with room for it, and breakfast begins. Thatte idli for a large group comes out quickly once the hotel has the numbers. Allow 40 minutes, with washrooms in turns and a head count at the end. Heritage groups on another trip might visit Araluguppe, about 25 km away, for its 12th century Hoysala Chennakeshava temple. India's first mega food park opened near Tumakuru (Tumkur) in 2014.

Drive on
No halt for the bus at Hiriyur, 155 km along. Every coach between Bengaluru and Belagavi, Hubballi or Davanagere rolls through this town, so the highway here is wide and used to big vehicles. Pilgrim groups returning from Belgaum sometimes pause at the Teru Malleshwara temple, which devotees call Dakshina Kashi, and the Vani Vilas Sagar dam lies some 20 km away for a picnic on another trip. Tea waits at Chitradurga, around 45 km on.

Tea and head count
Tea and washrooms for the bus come at Chitradurga, 200 km along. The hill fort here, known as Kallina Kote, wraps seven circles of stone wall around roughly 1,500 acres, enough for a college group to spend a whole morning on some other trip. Coaches park outside Gate 3, where ASI keeps basic toilets and drinking water. Fifty people make a long washroom line, so allow 20 minutes. Davangere and lunch are 65 km away.

Lunch booked ahead
Davangere, roughly 265 km out, is the lunch stop. The hotel is booked ahead with the head count, so benne dose or rice meals come out for everyone together, and the halt takes about an hour. In the same district, near Channagiri and well off our road, lies Shanti Sagara, the huge Sulekere tank built in the 12th century. Davangere is also a big railway junction. Some 240 km remain to Belgaum.

Tea and head count
The bus pauses at Haveri for afternoon tea, 20 minutes with a head count at the end. Chilli sellers here stock both Byadagi types, stubby dabbi pods and slender kaddi ones, freshest between January and May when the harvest comes in. Some pilgrim groups plan a day for Bada, about 25 km off the highway, where the poet saint Kanakadasa was born. Make sure nobody leaves a shopping bag at the tea stall. Hubli is a further 75 km.

Snack halt
Evening snacks for the bus are at Hubli. The coach waits on the service road, because the old market lanes of the city centre are too tight for it. Hubli is a railway town at heart, with a diesel loco shed working since 1880, and the highway to Ankola on the coast branches off here. Girmit and mirchi bajji with strong tea keep everyone going for the last stretch. About 95 km remain to Belgaum, roughly two hours by bus.

No halt here
The bus rolls straight through Dharwad. The old fort here changed hands again and again, taken by the Bijapur sultan in 1573, by Hyder Ali in 1778 and by the Marathas in 1791, though today the town is known more for its milk pedha and its singers. Groups bound for Goa turn off here for Alnavar, but a Belgaum bus keeps to NH48. Kittur, the dinner stop, is around 35 km ahead, with Belgaum another 40 km beyond it.

Dinner for the bus
Kittur, about 465 km out, is the dinner halt for the bus, at a highway dhaba where a coach can turn. Jolada rotti meals are served here, and 50 minutes covers dinner and a head count. Kittur is the town of Rani Kittur Chennamma, who fought the East India Company, and her fort ruins are on the outskirts, a stop for school groups on the return. Belgaum is about 40 km on.

Hotel drop
The bus reaches Belgaum, officially Belagavi, in about 12.5 hours. The city is a common night halt on the way to Mumbai, so hotels with bus parking are easy to find on the highway side; book one in advance. Belgaum has the coldest winters in Karnataka, so warm clothes help from November to February. Breakfast next morning is poori bhaji, uppit or sheera, and kunda is the local sweet. The driver stays with the bus and it is ready at the time you fix.

About 505 km on NH48, through Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Davangere, Haveri, Hubli and Dharwad, so roughly 1,010 km for the round trip. A bus takes about 12.5 hours with breakfast, lunch, tea and a dinner halt at Kittur, which is why it leaves Bangalore at 4:30 am.
No. Bus tolls, parking and any state permit come at actual cost, and GST is extra. Diesel and the driver are in the km rate.
Yes. The one way rate is ₹2 a km more. Tell us the date and we send the one way fare.
The 50 seater. At ₹54/km, 1,200 km over 4 days is ₹64,800, plus ₹1,000 a day allowance. See all sizes on bus on rent in Bangalore.
The driver gets a night allowance when the bus runs late at night. We put it in the quote before you confirm.
Yes. Panaji is about 100 km on via the Chorla ghat. Extra km go on the same rate, and the bus may need a Goa permit.
October to February. The highway is dry and Belgaum has the coldest winters in Karnataka, pleasant for sightseeing. June to September brings almost steady rain to Belgaum, so the drive is slower and outings to the falls near Gokak are slippery for a big group. March to May is hot, and long halts in the sun tire everyone.
For elders or children, yes. Twelve and a half hours is a long day, even with good halts. A night at Hubli or Davangere splits it into two easy days, and the bus reaches Belgaum by the next noon. For a college group that sleeps well on the bus, the one day run with an early start works fine.
