Pickup point
The cab can collect you from home, a hotel or even the airport at 7 am. From the airport side, the ring road through Devanahalli reaches Hoskote without entering the city, which saves the KR Puram crawl. From the rest of Bangalore the car goes out on Old Madras Road. Chintamani is 75 km away, a comfortable morning drive, so there is time for breakfast on the way. A sedan takes four with bags; for five or more with luggage, book the Innova.

Straight on
KR Puram, 17 km from the centre, is just a drive past for the cab. The Outer Ring Road crosses Old Madras Road here below the cable stayed bridge, and once office traffic starts, the queue at this junction can eat up a quarter of an hour, which is why a 7 am start helps. There is fuel on this stretch if the car needs it. If someone in the family comes by train from the Chennai side, the cab can collect them at KR Puram station in passing. Hoskote is next.

First meal
Breakfast is at Hoskote, 30 km out. Highway hotels serve idli and vada, and Hoskote is the place in Karnataka for an early plate of mutton dum biryani, if anyone wants it at this hour. Twenty minutes is enough for a family of four. Sundays are the busy day, with long queues and parked cars near the eateries. After the meal the cab turns off NH75, which goes on to Kolar, and takes the road north east to Chintamani. Our own office is at Hoskote.

Short halt
At 65 km the cab passes Kaivara Cross, where a side road turns off for Kaiwara, about 5 km in. For Chintamani the car stays on the main road. Tea and tender coconut stalls at the cross make a good ten minute stretch. This is Chikkaballapur district country, with grape vineyards along the road and the Bangalore Blue variety grown in the district. Chintamani is only 10 km more, so most families just drive on and keep any halt for the way back.

Arrival and drop
Chintamani is a taluk headquarters on the Deccan plateau, and the cab drops you at any address in town. Hotels serve South Karnataka meals and ragi mudde, and the town is known for crisp snacks like chakli and nippat and for groundnuts, a good box to carry home. The silk and tomato markets here are among the largest in the state, busy in the mornings. ATMs and fuel are easy to find. For a family function, tell us the venue, and the driver parks nearby till you are ready.
Going to Chintamani for the day, or for Kaivara and Murugamalla, with up to seven people? A Bangalore to Chintamani cab gets you there in about an hour and a half on the Hoskote road. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels; a one way taxi works too.
Route | One way | Chintamani and back | Time by cab |

A return trip to Chintamani is about 150 km. That is one day, billed as 300 km. For a drop only, add ₹2 a km; we quote it with your date.

Car rates per km include fuel, driver and AC, and a daily allowance for the driver goes on the bill.

Chintamani is about 75 km from Bangalore by Old Madras Road through KR Puram and Hoskote, then the road past Kaivara Cross, so about 150 km for the round trip. A cab takes about 1.5 hours with a short breakfast halt, if you leave before the KR Puram traffic builds.
₹6,000 for the Innova Crysta (1 day, 300 km at ₹20/km). On top: ₹400 allowance, then tolls, parking and GST at cost.

Yes. A Bangalore to Chintamani one way trip is quoted at ₹2 a km more, with the return counted.
The road is open all year. December and January have the coolest mornings. April is the hottest month, so carry water. From June to October it rains, and in October and November heavy evening showers often jam Bangalore, so head back from Chintamani by mid afternoon in those months.
Yes. The road from Chintamani to Hoskote is quiet at night and the driver knows it well. Past Hoskote the highway into the city is busy till late. The only rule is the driver's rest: if the day started at 7 am, a return after midnight needs a short break on the way.
