Chunchi Falls Viewpoint and Watchtower
A walk of around half a kilometre to a kilometre from the parking area leads to viewpoints above the gorge, where the Arkavathi tumbles over layered granite. A watchtower on the way gives a wide view of the rocky, forested landscape. The falls are fuller after the monsoon, as a power station upstream reduces flow at other times. Wear good shoes, keep children close and stay behind barriers, as the rocks are slippery and the gorge is deep.
Chunchi Falls Viewpoint and Watchtower
A walk of around half a kilometre to a kilometre from the parking area leads to viewpoints above the gorge, where the Arkavathi tumbles over layered granite. A watchtower on the way gives a wide view of the rocky, forested landscape. The falls are fuller after the monsoon, as a power station upstream reduces flow at other times. Wear good shoes, keep children close and stay behind barriers, as the rocks are slippery and the gorge is deep.
Sangama
About 16 kilometres beyond the falls, sangama kanakapura is where the Arkavathi joins the Kaveri. The wide sandy riverbank is a popular picnic spot, and in the dry months you can walk across parts of the riverbed. Swim only where locals and officials say it is safe, as currents here can be strong.
Mekedatu
From Sangama, forest department buses cross to mekedatu, about four kilometres downstream, where the Kaveri squeezes through a narrow rock gorge. The name means goat's leap, from the legend of a goat that jumped across the gap to escape a tiger. The potholes carved into the rock by swirling water are remarkable. The area lies within the Kaveri Wildlife Sanctuary, so follow forest rules.
Bheemeshwari
Further along the Kaveri, bheemeshwari is known for its riverside nature camp run by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, with coracle rides, nature trails and birdwatching. It is an excellent overnight option if you want to extend the trip. Book the camp in advance.
Muthathi
Muthathi is a quiet riverside village on the Kaveri with an old Anjaneya temple linked by legend to the Ramayana. The forested banks are good for a picnic, and the drive through the sanctuary area is scenic.
Kabbaladurga
This granite monolith near Kanakapura has a Kabbalamma temple at its base and fort ruins at the top. The climb is steep and short, rewarding trekkers with wide views of the countryside. It is best done early in the morning before the rock heats up.
Thottikallu Falls
Closer to the city off Kanakapura Road, Thottikallu, or TK Falls, is a seasonal waterfall beside a small shrine. It flows best during and after the monsoon and is an easy stop on the drive back.
Art of Living International Centre
At Udayapura, about 21 kilometres from the city on Kanakapura Road, the Art of Living International Centre has landscaped campus grounds and the lotus-shaped Dhyan Mandir meditation hall. Visitors can join a satsang or simply walk through the campus.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Home of the Art of Living International Centre
The trip starts through Jayanagar or Banashankari and onto Kanakapura Road past Konanakunte and the NICE Road junction, where traffic is heaviest. Talaghattapura marks the city's southern edge, and just beyond it Udayapura is home to the Art of Living International Centre. Elapsed time: about forty-five minutes.
Industrial Hub of Kanakapura Road
The road opens into farmland past Kaggalipura, with the forested hills of Bannerghatta visible to the east. Harohalli is the industrial hub of Kanakapura Road, with a large KIADB industrial area. Several highway restaurants along this stretch serve a good breakfast. Elapsed time: about one hour ten minutes.
Silk and Granite Town
Kanakapura, once called Kankanahalli, is known for its silk and granite, and quarries and sericulture farms line the approach. The town is the taluk headquarters and the last major stop for fuel, snacks and ATMs. Kabbaladurga is a detour from here. Elapsed time: about one hour thirty-five minutes.
Waterfall of the Arkavathi
A signed village road branches off towards the falls through farmland via Haro Shivanahalli village. The last stretch is narrow, so our drivers take it slowly. The road ends at a paid parking area, from where you walk to the viewpoints. The driver waits here and then continues with you to Sangama. Elapsed time: about two hours fifteen minutes.
For Bangalore IT and manufacturing teams planning a day outing or team-building trip to the river camps. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval, a named driver and consolidated billing. Our corporate travels bangalore desk handles larger multi-vehicle movements.

The chunchi falls distance from bangalore is roughly 85 to 90 kilometres one way via Kanakapura Road (NH948) and the Sangama road. The drive takes 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes each way.
Urbania hire starts from Rs 40 per km, and the final urbania rent per km bangalore rate depends on the seating variant. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, night bata and GST are extra.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and holds the Urbania for your date.
Yes. The road is good to Kanakapura and fair on the Sangama road. The last six kilometres are narrower with rough patches, which our drivers handle routinely. The Urbania parks above the falls, and parking fees, if collected, are billed at actuals.
The site is generally visited during daylight, roughly 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and entry is usually free or nominal, though local rules can change. The best season is August to February; in April and May the falls can shrink to a thin stream.
No. Both spots have hidden rocks, sudden depth changes and strong currents, and drowning incidents have occurred.
Yes. Sangama is about 22 kilometres from the falls and Mekedatu a further 4 kilometres by shuttle or on foot. The loop adds roughly 45 kilometres, and a bangalore to mekedatu cab or Urbania plan can be quoted as one itinerary.
Our Force Urbania fleet covers 13 to 17 seater configurations, with cars, tempo travellers, mini buses and 27 to 50 seater buses for other group sizes. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services.
No. The whole route, including Sangama and Mekedatu, is within Karnataka, so no interstate tax applies.
Cancelling more than 72 hours ahead is free with a full refund in 5 to 7 working days; charges rise to 10, 25 and 50 percent as departure nears. Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance, so passengers are advised to arrange their own. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773.
