Pickup for the group
Where most of the group lives in north or east Bangalore, we avoid crossing town by using the outer ring road that loops past Devanahalli and Doddaballapur and meets NH48 near Dobbaspet; that stretch carries a toll at Hulikunte. From south or west, we take Tumkur Road through Peenya. Either way, keep to one or two pickup points and be ready by 5:00 am. Belgaum is about 505 km away. The group breakfast is at Tumakuru.

Group breakfast
The group sits down for breakfast in Tumakuru after 70 km. Thatte idli, the flat plate idli of the district, is quick to serve, and a hotel used to groups feeds twenty in one round. Allow 35 minutes. On another weekend a school or college group might climb Siddara Betta, a hill with caves tied to a saint, about 22 km from Tumakuru (Tumkur). The city's railway station sits near the bus stand in the centre, handy if someone joins late by train.

Leg stretch
A ten minute leg stretch at Hiriyur is optional, at the 155 km mark. Teachers with a science group should note Mardihalli nearby, where pillow lava, rock formed by lava cooling under water, is protected as a national geological monument; it deserves its own visit. On santhe day the weekly village market fills the town with farmers and their produce, a lively sight from the window. The Vedavati river runs past Hiriyur. Chitradurga lies roughly 45 km further.

Tea and head count
Chitradurga, 200 km from home, gives the group tea and a head count. Every student in Karnataka knows the fort's legend: Onake Obavva, a guard's wife, is said to have held a narrow gap in the rocks against Hyder Ali's soldiers, and the Obavvana Kindi can still be seen. On the return, a group with two hours can climb up; entry is by QR code at the gate. The mini bus parks near Gate 3. Davangere is about 65 km on.

Lunch
Davangere, 265 km from the start, is the lunch halt. Benne dose comes with coconut chutney, and full meals are there for the rice eaters. The driver calls ahead from Chitradurga with the head count, so twenty plates come out quickly. Keep 50 minutes. Bagali, with the Kalleshvara temple listed by the district, is an old temple village in the same district, off our road. Haveri is about 70 km on.

Tea halt
Tea comes at Haveri in the afternoon, and the group leader counts heads again before moving. A heritage group with a spare half day on the return could add Hangal, around 40 km off, where the Tarakeshwara temple stands. Chilli powder is the shopping here, since the district's Byadgi market has traded dry red chilli for more than seventy years. Remind everyone to keep the bags of chilli sealed in the luggage space. Hubli is roughly 75 km further on.

Snacks for the group
The final snack halt for the group is at Hubli. Two lakes, Unkal and Kelgeri, lie within the twin city, and either makes a pleasant group walk on the return day. For now, girmit and hot mirchi bajji with tea do the job, and a crate of drinking water for the last leg is worth buying here. Roughly 95 km of highway remain to Belgaum, by Dharwad and Kittur, about the last two hours of the day.

Drive through
No halt at Dharwad today. The city has produced great Hindustani singers and Kannada poets such as Da Ra Bendre, so music and literature students like to come back here for a morning. Anyone who must leave the trip early can fly from Sambre, the Belagavi airport, which sits close to 78 km from Dharwad. Pedha, the famous milk sweet, keeps best if the group buys its boxes on the way home. Kittur comes next, some 35 km up the road.

Drive on
Kittur, about 465 km out, was part of Bailhongal taluk until 2012 and is now a taluk of its own. It is the town of Rani Kittur Chennamma, and the ruins of the palace inside Kittur fort stand on the outskirts. A school group can stop for 30 minutes on the return to see the fort and the museum. Jolada rotti is served at the dhabas. Belgaum is about 40 km on.

Hotel drop
With these halts the group reaches Belgaum, officially Belagavi, in about 11 hours. Belgaum has the coldest winters in Karnataka and almost steady rain from June to September, so pack accordingly. For the group dinner, jolada rotti, thalipeeth and jhunka are the local plate, and breakfast next day can be poori bhaji or uppit. Kunda is the milk sweet to try. The mini bus drops at the hotel or hostel gate and is ready at the time you fix.
Looking at a Bangalore to Belgaum mini bus for a group of twenty? You get one mini bus, one driver and halts with parking. Belgaum is also spelt Belagavi. Groups have booked mini bus on rent in Bangalore with us since 2009.
Route | One way | Belgaum and back | Time by mini bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Belgaum via Chitradurga, Hubli and Dharwad | About 505 km | About 1,010 km | About 11 hr with stops |
We price the mini bus for 4 days, 1,200 km. There and back comes to around 1,010 km. Some 190 km are left for trips around the place. Choose AC or non-AC mini buses; the rate differs. One way trips cost ₹2 more a km; ask for it. Add driver allowance of ₹600 to ₹800 a day by size, and GST, tolls, parking and permits at actuals. The km rate has fuel and the driver in it.

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹600 to ₹800 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 25, 5 days in the 25 Seater Mini Bus is about ₹2,300 a person.
16 or fewer: 16 seater mini bus. 17 to 20 people: 20 seater mini bus. 21 people exactly: 21 seater mini bus. 22 to 25: 25 seater mini bus. More than 25? A 30 seater bus costs less per person than two mini buses.
Over 25 people? Look at the Bangalore to Belgaum bus. A family of twelve? The Bangalore to Belgaum tempo traveller works out cheaper.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
Belgaum is about 505 km from Bangalore, all on NH48 through Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Davangere, Haveri, Hubli and Dharwad, so the round trip is about 1,010 km. A mini bus takes about 11 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, so a group leaving at 5 am reaches by early evening.
The 20 seater: ₹34/km, so 1,200 km over 4 days comes to ₹40,800, plus ₹700 a day allowance. Every size is on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
A late night run adds a night allowance for the driver. The quote shows it.
They are not included. The km rate has both fuel and driver in it. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, plus GST.
Aim to leave at 5:00 am. Belgaum Fort is inside the city, so plan the day around it. With halts at Tumakuru and en route, the mini bus reaches around 5:45 pm.
Yes. Send your date for the one way fare. One way runs ₹2 per km higher than the round trip km rate.
October to February is the best time: dry roads, cool evenings and the coldest winters in Karnataka at Belgaum itself. June to September brings almost steady rain, which slows the drive and makes falls near Gokak slippery for a group. March to May is hot on the open highway, so halts in the sun are tiring.
Plan on a single suitcase or duffel per person for a 4 day trip, with a day pack that rides under the seat. Suitcases travel at the rear of the mini bus. Winter jackets for Belgaum take room, so wear them or roll them into the day pack. Sports kits, band instruments or banners need space too; mention them while booking so we size the vehicle with a few seats spare.
