Pickup from home
The van leaves at 5:30 am. A temple trip to Bhagamandala is long, about 285 km, so the early start gives the family a calm darshan before noon. We can pick up from two homes in one area; fix the order the evening before. Load bags at the gate, since a tempo traveller is too tall for basement parking. Pooja items, a towel and spare clothes for the children go in a hand bag at the seat. Breakfast is at Channapatna.
Family breakfast halt
Channapatna comes about 60 km out, and the van leaves the expressway for breakfast at an old road hotel. Just 2 to 3 km past the town, at Doddamallur, the Aprameya Swamy temple holds the little shrine of Ambegalu Krishna, Krishna as a crawling baby, which children find sweet; it is a quick darshan if the family wants one on a temple day. Thirty minutes for idli and coffee. The toy shops can wait for the drive back.
Drive on
Srirangapatna, about 125 km out, is an island in the Kaveri, and Ranganathittu bird sanctuary lies 3 to 4 km from the town. On a temple day the van drives on, but children who like birds will enjoy it on the return; the boat goes round islets full of nesting birds, with crocodiles sunning on the rocks, and June to November is the best season. After the town the van turns onto the Hunsur road, away from Mysore.
Keep going
On the run towards Hunsur, about 20 to 25 km before the town near Bilikere, a small Jain hill called Gommatagiri carries a statue of Bahubali; it is a good outing on another day. Hunsur itself, about 175 km out, is quiet, and the van goes through without stopping. The road from here is two lane, through Periyapatna and into Kodagu. Children who get carsick should move to the front before the hill stretch after Madikeri.
Tea and a stretch
Kushalnagar, about 220 km out, is the tea break. Fifteen minutes lets the children run about while the adults have coffee. If the family stays a night in Kodagu, the bamboo and teak island of Nisargadhama, reached on foot by a hanging bridge, is about 3 km from town and fills a morning; every ticket is bought at the gate. Shops here sell Coorg coffee and spices at fair prices. The highway is busy, so the van parks off the road.
Carry on through
The van passes through Madikeri, the Kodagu district town at about 1,170 m, and turns for Bhagamandala, about 33 to 39 km further on a narrow, winding hill road. Buy what you need here, because Bhagamandala is a small temple town. Honey from the bee keepers' co operative near the Madikeri post office is a good buy on the way back. The driver keeps the speed low on the bends, and children should sit facing forward.
Temple square drop
Bhagamandala is a temple village at about 898 m, and the van parks near the temple square. The temple gives a free vegetarian lunch of rice, sambar and buttermilk, so a family of twelve can eat there after darshan. Keep shoulders covered and dress simply for the temple. The town gets very heavy rain from June to August, so carry umbrellas, and keep children away from the river edge when the water is high. Talakaveri is about 8 km uphill.
Planning a Bangalore to Bhagamandala tempo traveller trip for 9 to 20 people? The whole family rides in one van and stops when the children need it. Bhagamandala is in Kodagu (Coorg). Our tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore drivers at Tejas Tours & Travels know this road well.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Bhagamandala is about 285 km from Bangalore. The tempo traveller goes by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, then about 35 km of hill road. That is about 570 km there and back. With breakfast and a tea halt, the van takes about 5.5 hours, reaching the temple around noon.
Yes, it is 8 km up the hill. Go early on festival days. Smaller vehicles park right at the top.
A night charge for our driver is added when the van runs late at night. You see it in your quote first.
Yes. For one way, add ₹2 a km to the two way rate. The fare for your date is given on request.
The 12 seater works. At ₹24/km, 600 km in 2 days is ₹14,400, plus ₹500 a day driver allowance. Each size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. Fuel and driver sit inside the km rate; GST, tolls, parking and permits are added at what they cost.
On Tula Sankramana, the day the Kaveri is worshipped at its source, on 17 or 18 October. Huge pilgrim crowds come to Bhagamandala and Talakaveri, roads jam and parking near the temple is full by morning. If your family goes then, start earlier than usual and expect walking. Weekends in the dry months are busy but manageable; weekdays are calm.
Bags go behind the last row; for one night, a soft bag per family is enough. Keep pooja items, a towel and a full change of clothes at the seat, since many people take a dip before darshan. Add umbrellas from June to September, because this is one of the wettest corners of Kodagu. Tell us the bag count, and we suggest a bigger van if needed.
