Home pickup
The van leaves at 5:30 am, so a family reaches the monastery mid morning, before the tour buses. A tempo traveller is about 2.55 m tall, so it waits at the gate rather than going down to an apartment basement. Children can sleep for the first hour; keep pillows and a blanket in the van. Pack snacks, water and a pair of socks for each child, since shoes come off inside the prayer halls and the floors can be cold. Breakfast is at Channapatna.
Family breakfast halt
Channapatna, 60 km along the expressway, is the family breakfast stop. The van takes the exit to the old road, where hotels seat a group of twelve together. This is the toy town, and some workshops show how the wooden toys are cut, turned on a lathe and polished with lac; children can even make their own in a paid session. That fits better on the way home. Half an hour for breakfast and restrooms.
Keep going
Maddur comes 20 km after breakfast, and the van keeps going on the expressway. The town gives its name to the Maddur vada, which first sold on the railway platform here. On the drive home, children usually ask for it, and the shops by the exit fry it fresh. Maddur is also a tender coconut market, so cold coconut water is easy to find on a hot afternoon. The children can nap through this stretch, since the road is smooth.
Drive on
Srirangapatna is passed at about 125 km, and the van turns for the Hunsur road just after the island town, so Mysore city is avoided. On a relaxed return, Ranganathittu bird sanctuary, 3 to 4 km from Srirangapatna, is a fine stop with children. The boats pass islets thick with nesting birds and crocodiles basking on the rocks; nesting season is June to November. Entry and boat tickets are sold separately.
Carry on through
The van carries on through Hunsur, 175 km out, a quiet town on the Lakshmana Tirtha river at about 800 m. Just before it, near Bilikere, a road leads to Gommatagiri, a small Jain hill topped by a Bahubali statue, an hour's outing for another day. The road is two lane from here, through tobacco fields. Tea comes at Periyapatna in about half an hour. Kushalnagar and the camps are less than an hour ahead now.
Tea, then stretch
Periyapatna, 205 km from Bangalore, is the tea stop before the camps. Children can stretch their legs and use the restroom, and adults get a quick coffee. This is the last taluk town of Mysore district, and the Tibetan settlement just ahead belongs to it. The road towards Nagarhole's Anechowkur gate goes north from here. Remind the children that the monastery is a quiet place. Bylakuppe is about 15 km on.
Monastery gate
The van parks at the gate of Namdroling at Camp 4. Children enjoy turning the big prayer wheels, always clockwise, and walking around the stupas the same way. The temple is open from morning till about 6 pm, with prayers around 1 pm. Lunch is easy at the eateries outside: momos and thukpa suit most children. The camps are far apart and autos are few, so the van takes the family between them. Kushalnagar, 6 km away, has hotels for the night.

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. 👍

The Bylakuppe Golden Temple is about 220 km from Bangalore. The tempo traveller goes by the Mysore expressway, Srirangapatna, Hunsur and Periyapatna, about 440 km for the round trip. With breakfast at Channapatna and tea at Periyapatna, the drive takes about 4.5 hours, reaching the monastery by late morning.
The 12 seater works. Compare the sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore. At ₹24/km, 600 km in 2 days adds up to ₹14,400, plus ₹500 a day driver allowance.
Yes. A one way trip is ₹2 per km above the return rate. The fare for your date is given on request.
Yes, Madikeri is about 30 km past Kushalnagar. Many families do the Golden Temple on day one and Coorg on day two.
Yes. Fuel and the driver sit inside the per km rate; tolls, parking, state permits and GST are added at what they cost.
A night bata for the driver is added when the van runs past night hours. You see it on the quote first.
October to March. The days are dry and pleasant for walking between the camps, and nights in this part of Coorg are cool. April and May are warmer but still fine. June to September brings regular rain and a high Kaveri, so river parks nearby may close, though the monastery stays open.
Most do. The colours, the prayer wheels and the monks are new to them, and the eateries serve mild momos and noodle soups. The drive is about four and a half hours with two halts, so carry games and snacks. Inside the halls, keep children quiet and seated, and hold small hands near the stupas and steps.
