One assembly point
For a full bus to a wedding or a group visit in Chintamani, use one assembly point on the east side, with space for the bus to stand. The city centre is a poor place to load a full group, since buses get barely a couple of minutes at the Majestic kerb. Leave by 6:30 am to clear KR Puram before office traffic. Bags and gift boxes go in the hold. Chintamani is 75 km away, and breakfast is at Hoskote.

Through the junction
The bus goes straight through KR Puram, 17 km out, where the Outer Ring Road meets Old Madras Road. A second pickup with a full bus here would hold up the junction, so all members should come to the assembly point. Before 7 am the bus crosses in minutes; later it can crawl. The cable stayed bridge over the railway station marks the spot. Once past, the road opens up for Hoskote, 13 km on.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the bus is at Hoskote, 30 km out, where a hotel on the highway keeps space for coaches. Order idli and vada for the whole group the day before, and keep 40 minutes. Hoskote is famous for its morning mutton dum biryani, but Sunday queues near the eateries are long and police keep the stalls by the toll shut till sunrise, so a big group should not depend on it. After breakfast the bus turns off NH75 for Chintamani.

No halt
At 65 km comes Kaivara Cross and the turning for Kaiwara village. With a full bus we keep going, since Chintamani is only 10 km on. The road here is a two lane country road through grape and mulberry farms of Chikkaballapur district, and the driver keeps the speed moderate through the villages. If the group wants tender coconut, the stalls at the cross are better on the way home, when there is no time pressure.

Venue drop
At Chintamani, a busy taluk town, the bus stops at the venue gate, and the driver finds a place to park that does not block the road. Hotels here serve South Karnataka meals and ragi mudde. Chintamani snacks, chakli, nippat and groundnuts, make good return gifts for a big group. Its silk and tomato trade is among the biggest in Karnataka, and the market lanes are crowded early. Fix the return time with the group leader, so everyone is at the bus on time.
Taking 30 to 50 guests to a wedding in Chintamani, or a village group to Kaivara? With a Bangalore to Chintamani bus the group rides together for the 75 km and you count heads only once. Book a bus on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels.
Route | One way | Chintamani and back | Time by bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Chintamani via KR Puram, Hoskote and Kaivara Cross | About 75 km | About 150 km | About 2 hr with stops |
There and back is close to 150 km for the Chintamani bus, so one 300 km day covers it. Tolls for a bus cost more than for a car and go on at actual with parking and GST. Allowance ₹700 to ₹1,000 a day by size. Volvo or BharatBenz if you ask, 400 km a day. One way is ₹2 a km more. The per km rate already pays for diesel and driver; the driver's day allowance is extra. We run AC and non-AC buses, and the per km rate follows the one you go for.

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 50, 2 days in the 50 Seater Bus is about ₹690 a person.
A Chintamani group of 30: the 33 seater bus. Near 40: 40 seater bus. 45 to 50 on the 75 km run: 50 seater bus or the 49 seater bus.
A smaller group? The Bangalore to Chintamani mini bus is cheaper. Want Kaivara too? Our Bangalore to Kaivara bus page has that run.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
About 75 km from Bangalore by Old Madras Road and Hoskote, then the road past Kaivara Cross, which makes roughly 150 km both ways. Allow about 2 hours by bus, counting breakfast at Hoskote, provided the bus is past KR Puram early.
The 50 seater bus for one 300 km day at ₹54/km: ₹16,200. Add ₹1,000 for the driver; tolls, permits and GST at actual.
Yes, if you ask. The one way rate is ₹2 a km above the return rate, and the empty run home is part of the written quote.
The 33 seater fits thirty with bags. All sizes are on bus on rent in Bangalore.
At the temple parking at the foot of the hill. The caves are a climb on foot, so the group walks from there.
Yes. Each trip is about 150 km there and back. The first 300 km are in the day fare; more km are added at the same rate.
For a coach full of people, the cool dry months of November to February are the most comfortable. April is the peak of the heat. Rain arrives in June and lasts into October, and the late season storms come in the evening, flooding city roads, so aim to reach Bangalore before dark in those weeks.
Seat elders in the front rows, which bounce less, and near the door for the halts. Children sit with their families away from the door. Keep medicines, water and snacks in a seat bag, not in the hold. The drive is short, with one breakfast halt at Hoskote, so the longest sitting stretch is short.
