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.

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.










For Bangalore companies organising employee pilgrimages, family trips for staff or business travel to Hyderabad and the Khammam region. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a dedicated Urbania-trained driver and daily duty slips reconciled with the final bill. Our corporate travels desk manages the full arrangement, and corporate urbania hire bangalore clients with registered accounts receive monthly consolidated billing.
Our most popular option on this route, usually four to five days covering the drive with a Hyderabad halt, the temple, the Godavari ghats, Parnasala, Jatayu Paka and Kinnerasani. It is planned around darshan timings and rest, with a driver who waits patiently at each site. Families can also add a night in Hyderabad on the return to visit Golconda and Charminar.
For devotees and families who want the finest experience. The luxury urbania rental bangalore package includes a deep-cleaned vehicle with fresh seat covers, a formally dressed chauffeur on request and flexible itineraries that can include the Papikondalu boat trip, Srisailam or a stay in Hyderabad. It suits VIP pilgrims and special family occasions.
Designed specifically for elderly travellers, with extra rest stops, shorter daily driving where possible, and comfortable halts at Kurnool and Hyderabad. The Urbania's recliners, easy entry and quiet cabin make it ideal for older pilgrims. Our force urbania hire drivers are patient and helpful, including with luggage and parking close to temple entrances.

The bangalore to bhadrachalam distance is approximately 890 kilometres via Anantapur, Kurnool, Hyderabad, Suryapet, Khammam and Kothagudem. Driving time is 15 to 16 hours, so we recommend splitting the journey over two days with an overnight halt in Hyderabad. A shorter route of about 820 kilometres via Kadapa and Vijayawada is possible, but roads are narrower in parts.
Force Urbania fares start from Rs 50 per kilometre, depending on the seating configuration. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Tolls, parking, interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged extra. The final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every item is listed in your written quote.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. For Sri Rama Navami and other festival dates, we strongly recommend booking several weeks ahead, as the Urbania fleet is limited. You can pay by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes.
October to March is the most comfortable time, with pleasant weather for temple visits and river outings. Sri Rama Navami, usually in March or April, is the most important festival, but the town is extremely crowded. April to June is very hot, and during the monsoon from July to September the Godavari can flood, sometimes affecting ghats, roads and boat services.
The route passes from Karnataka through Andhra Pradesh into Telangana, so both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana permits are required. They are billed at actuals and arranged before departure, and our drivers handle all checkpoint formalities.
Yes, many groups add a Papikondalu boat trip through the Godavari gorge. Boats operate from points near Bhadrachalam and from the Rajahmundry side, but services can be suspended during floods or for safety checks. We recommend confirming the status close to your travel date, and our team can help plan the timing. Boat tickets are booked directly with the operators.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles have seated configurations. We plan an overnight hotel halt at Hyderabad on this long route, which is safer and more restful than driving through the night.
Yes, and most groups book it this way. The same vehicle and driver stay with you for the temple, the Godavari ghats, Parnasala, Jatayu Paka, Dummugudem, Kinnerasani and Nelakondapalli, and for an optional stop in Hyderabad or Srisailam. Multi-day trips are billed on total kilometres and hours with driver allowance, quoted as one figure.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure is free, and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Charges are 10 percent between 48 and 72 hours, 25 percent between 24 and 48 hours, 50 percent between 12 and 24 hours and 75 percent within 12 hours. Date or vehicle changes with more than 24 hours notice are made at no penalty, subject to Urbania availability.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance, so we advise travellers to arrange their own if needed. All vehicles are fully insured and compliant, and every driver is verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel date, pickup location, group size and itinerary. You will receive a written quote within 2 hours, and our booking lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
