Sri Sita Ramachandra Swamy Temple
The heart of Bhadrachalam, this hilltop temple overlooking the Godavari was built by Kancherla Gopanna, remembered as Bhakta Ramadasu, a 17th century revenue officer under the Qutb Shahi rulers of Golconda. Legend holds that he used state revenue to build the temple, was imprisoned for it, and was freed when Rama and Lakshmana themselves paid the dues. The deity is worshipped as Vaikunta Rama, with Sita seated beside him and Lakshmana standing nearby. The Sri Rama Navami Kalyanam, the celestial wedding of Rama and Sita, draws lakhs of devotees each year, while Vaikunta Ekadasi is marked by the Teppotsavam, a float festival on the river. Ramadasu's keertanas are still sung here, and his memory is honoured within the temple precincts.

Ramadasu's keertanas are still sung here, and his memory is honoured within the temple precincts.
Godavari River Ghats
The bathing ghats below the temple are where most pilgrims begin their visit with a holy dip. The broad Godavari is especially beautiful at sunrise, and evening aarti adds to the atmosphere during festival seasons. Water levels rise sharply during the monsoon, so follow local safety instructions and avoid bathing when the river is in flood.
Parnasala
About 35 kilometres from Bhadrachalam, Parnasala is where Rama, Sita and Lakshmana are believed to have lived in a hut during their forest exile, and local tradition marks it as the place where Sita was abducted by Ravana. Painted panels and small shrines tell the story, and the riverside setting is peaceful. Most families combine Parnasala with Dummugudem in a half-day trip.
Jatayu Paka
A short drive from town, Jatayu Paka is associated with Jatayu, the great bird who fought Ravana to save Sita and fell here after the battle. It is a small, quiet stop that completes the Ramayana trail around Bhadrachalam.
Dummugudem Anicut
On the way to Parnasala, the Dummugudem anicut across the Godavari is linked with the British engineer Sir Arthur Cotton, whose irrigation works transformed the Godavari delta. The wide river and the old structure make a pleasant stop, particularly in the late afternoon.
Papikondalu Boat Cruise
Downstream of Bhadrachalam, the Godavari cuts through the Papikondalu hills in a dramatic, forested gorge. Boat cruises through this stretch are one of the most popular experiences in the region, with tribal villages and steep green hills on both banks. Boat operations are regulated by the authorities and depend on water levels and permissions, so check the current status and boarding point before you plan the day. Your driver will take you to the jetty and pick you up on return.
Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary and Dam
Near Paloncha, about 35 kilometres from Bhadrachalam, the Kinnerasani sanctuary protects dry deciduous forest with spotted deer, sambar, gaur and a rich variety of birds. The Kinnerasani reservoir, with its deer park and island views, is a relaxing half-day outing for families and a good break from temple visits.
Nelakondapalli and Khammam Fort
On the route near Khammam, Nelakondapalli is the birthplace of Bhakta Ramadasu and also holds the remains of an ancient Buddhist stupa. Khammam Fort, built over several centuries by the Kakatiyas, the Qutb Shahis and later rulers, sits on a hill above the town. Both are worthwhile stops on the way in or out, especially for families following Ramadasu's story.

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.
Land of Sir M. Visvesvaraya
The drive leaves the city through Hebbal and past the Kempegowda International Airport turnoff, joining NH44 towards Hyderabad. Chikkaballapur is known as the "Land of Sir M. Visvesvaraya", as the great engineer and statesman was born at nearby Muddenahalli, where his memorial stands. The district is also home to Nandi Hills, famous for its sunrise views, and to vineyards that supply Bangalore's grape markets. Leaving before 5:00 AM means the airport road stretch is clear and the group reaches the Andhra Pradesh border quickly.
Second Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire
After crossing into Andhra Pradesh near Bagepalli, the highway reaches Penukonda, the "Second Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire", which served as a stronghold of the Vijayanagara kings after the fall of Hampi. The hill fort, the Gagan Mahal palace and several old temples remain. Today the area is also known for the large Kia automobile plant nearby. It is a good first tea stop of the day.
Groundnut Bowl of Andhra Pradesh
Anantapur is the "Groundnut Bowl of Andhra Pradesh", one of the largest groundnut-growing districts in the country, and the dry, rocky landscape is dotted with farms and windmills. Puttaparthi and Lepakshi are both reachable from this stretch for travellers who want to extend the trip. Anantapur's highway restaurants make it a popular breakfast halt.
Fort Town of Rayalaseema
Gooty is the "Fort Town of Rayalaseema", dominated by a massive hill fort that was held by the Vijayanagara rulers, Hyder Ali and the Marathas at different times. The fort climb is long, but even the view from the highway is impressive. The town is also a railway junction, and the highway here is straight and fast.
Gateway of Rayalaseema
Kurnool is the "Gateway of Rayalaseema" and was the first capital of Andhra State from 1953 to 1956. The Konda Reddy Buruju, an old fort tower, stands in the city centre, and the Tungabhadra river flows alongside. Kurnool is the natural lunch halt, and just after the city the highway crosses the Tungabhadra bridge into Telangana, where the interstate permit is checked.
City of Pearls
Rather than entering the "City of Pearls", your driver takes the Outer Ring Road from Shamshabad around to the Vijayawada highway, saving time and avoiding city traffic. The area around the ring road has a wide choice of hotels, which makes it the ideal overnight halt. Travellers with extra time can visit Charminar, Golconda Fort, where Bhakta Ramadasu was imprisoned, or Yadagirigutta, the Lakshmi Narasimha temple about 60 kilometres north-east.
Land of Stambhadri
Khammam is the "Land of Stambhadri", taking its name from the hill of the Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple around which the town grew. Khammam Fort crowns a hill above the town, and Nelakondapalli, Bhakta Ramadasu's birthplace, is a short detour. The region is known for granite quarries and chilli farming. It is the last large town before the forested stretch towards Bhadrachalam.
Dakshina Ayodhya
The final stretch follows the Godavari valley into Bhadrachalam, "Dakshina Ayodhya", where the temple gopuram rises above the town and the river. Your driver takes you straight to your hotel or to the temple, depending on darshan timings. A typical plan is temple darshan and the Godavari ghat on the first day, Parnasala, Jatayu Paka and Dummugudem on the second, and Kinnerasani or Papikondalu on the third.

The bangalore to bhadrachalam distance is approximately 850 kilometres via Anantapur, Kurnool, the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road, Suryapet, Khammam and Kothagudem. A bus needs 16 to 18 hours of driving, so we plan it over two days with an overnight halt at Kurnool or Hyderabad.
October to March offers pleasant weather. Sri Rama Navami in March or April is the most important festival but also the most crowded; book the bus and stay well ahead. The monsoon brings high water on the Godavari and may suspend boat trips.
The route passes through Andhra Pradesh into Telangana, so interstate permits for both are required. We arrange them before departure and bill them at actuals.
Yes. Parnasala is about 32 kilometres away and fits easily into a day with Jatayu Paka. Papikondalu cruises depend on water levels and permissions, so we plan that day around the current schedule and have a backup plan if cruises are suspended.
Pricing starts from around Rs 45 per kilometre for a 29 seater bus and varies by size, AC or non-AC, and Volvo or Benz coaches. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, interstate taxes, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and the rental is calculated garage to garage.
Yes. Yadagirigutta lies close to the Hyderabad section of the route, and Mantralayam is near Kurnool, the overnight halt. Both can be added with an extra day each.
The temple is generally open from early morning to night, with breaks for rituals, and timings change on festival days. Please check the current schedule before travel; our driver will help you reach the right entrance.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare, paid digitally, confirms the booking. The payment and cancellation sections above give the full terms, including the 7-day notice for multi-day outstation hire.
No. We do not operate sleeper bus services, and we do not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers who want cover should arrange their own travel insurance.
Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com, with your travel dates, pickup location, group size and preferred bus tier. A written, itemised quote follows within 2 hours. Our bangalore bus booking lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
