Door pickup
Leave home at 6 am and the cab has you at the monastery gate well before the midday prayers. The car comes to your door, or to a hotel or the airport, and from south Bangalore it uses NICE Road to join the Mysore expressway without the city signals. Bylakuppe is about 220 km away, roughly four hours with two short halts. Carry a scarf or light jacket, comfortable shoes that slip off easily for the prayer halls, and some cash for the Tibetan market.
Quick breakfast
Breakfast is at Channapatna, 60 km from Bangalore, where the cab leaves the expressway for the old road hotels. Half an hour covers idli, coffee and the restroom. A short way past the town at Doddamallur, the Aprameya Swamy temple keeps a little shrine to Ambegalu Krishna, Krishna as a crawling child, a five minute stop if the family likes. Channapatna toys, lacquered and GI tagged, are better bought on the drive home, when you know how much space is left in the boot.
Through without a halt
Twenty km after breakfast the cab passes Maddur, on the Shimsha river, without stopping. The town is the home of the crisp, flat Maddur vada, and on the way back it makes a good snack halt by the exit. For bird lovers, Kokkarebellur village lies on a 12 km branch road near here; painted storks and pelicans nest in its trees from about October to March. A car manages that detour easily on the return day.
We drive on
At the 125 km mark the expressway runs past Srirangapatna, the Kaveri island where Tipu Sultan ruled. The cab keeps going and leaves the Mysore road for the Hunsur road shortly after, so Mysore city is skipped. On the return, the Gumbaz, the white domed tomb of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, is about 3 km off the road and stays open till about 6 pm, an easy evening stop. Sangama, where the river's two arms meet, is a kilometre beyond it.
Through without a halt
Hunsur, 175 km out, is crossed without stopping. The town stands on the Lakshmana Tirtha river, and its old trades are teak and tobacco; the leaf from these fields goes to an auction yard at Kattemalalavadi, a few km away. The two lane road heads west from here towards Periyapatna. A cab family with a spare hour could one day visit Rabgayling, another Tibetan settlement 12 km from Hunsur, quieter than Bylakuppe.
Coffee and stretch
Periyapatna, 205 km from Bangalore, is the coffee halt and the last town before the camps; Bylakuppe itself falls in this taluk. Fifteen minutes for coffee and the restroom. North of the town, Bettadapura hill rises with the Mallikarjuna temple at the top of about 3,000 steps, a trek for another day. From here the monastery is about 15 km on, and Kodagu district begins just beyond. Kushalnagar is close if anyone wants a proper lunch instead of momos.
Monastery gate
The cab parks right by the gate of Namdroling at Camp 4. The monastery is open roughly from morning to about 6 pm, with prayers around 1 pm. Walk round the stupas clockwise, and leave shoes where the monks ask. Eateries outside serve momos, thukpa and thenthuk for lunch. The camps are spread out and autos are few, so the car takes you between them. Shops sell thangka paintings, carpets and handicrafts; bargaining is normal. Kushalnagar is 6 km on for the night.
Need a Bangalore to Bylakuppe Golden Temple cab for your family or a few friends? On NH275 a car is quick, and it stops only where you ask. Our cab rental in Bangalore comes with a skilled driver. Its proper name is Namdroling Monastery.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

The Bylakuppe Golden Temple is about 220 km from Bangalore, by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur and Periyapatna, so the round trip is about 440 km. A cab takes about 4 hours with breakfast at Channapatna and coffee at Periyapatna. Kushalnagar, for hotels, is about 6 km further.
No. AC, fuel and the driver are in the car rate. Tolls, permits and parking go at cost, with GST added.
Yes. With your date we write down the billed km and the fare. A one way taxi is ₹2 per km more than the round trip rate.
Innova Crysta. 600 km over 2 days at ₹20/km is ₹12,000, plus ₹400 daily allowance. Each car is listed on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. Most families cover Namdroling Golden Temple, Cauvery Nisargadhama and Dubare Elephant Camp. Local km are added at the same rate. The camp is 6 km from Kushalnagar.
If the driver drives deep into the night, a night charge is added. The quote shows it before you pay.
Yes. The prayer halls are indoors and the road from Bangalore stays open. From June to September it rains often in this corner of Coorg, the Kaveri runs high, and low areas of Kushalnagar have flooded when the Harangi gates opened. Carry umbrellas and shoes that dry fast. October to March is drier and better for walking between the camps.
Small rugs, thangka paintings and handicrafts fit in a sedan boot along with two weekend bags. A large carpet needs the space of an Innova or Crysta, so tell us if you plan serious shopping. Keep cash, as small shops may not take cards, and roll paintings rather than folding them.
