Two pickups
Twenty people from different corners of Bangalore will not all be ready at one door, so pick two boarding points and stick to them. The mini bus sets off at 6 am, ahead of the Silk Board crush. Its first toll is the Attibele plaza, around 32 km out, and at the border the state tax is checked by cameras that read the number plate. Pack function gifts or cricket kit at the very back before people board. Hosur, just over the border, is breakfast.

Breakfast after the border
Hosur is breakfast, at a roadside hotel used to feeding a group of twenty inside half an hour. Greenhouses for roses dot the farmland round the town, one of the biggest flower belts in the south. History lovers might note Thorapalli nearby, where C. Rajagopalachari was born and his house is kept as a memorial. From Hosur the national highway carries on to Krishnagiri, but the mini bus takes the shorter Rayakottai road. Do a head count at the door before moving.

Fort hill
Rayakottai comes up after about an hour, a little town at the foot of a great boulder hill ringed by old walls. The Vijayanagara kings raised the fort, and today the Archaeological Survey of India protects it. Ten minutes is plenty for group photos from the roadside; climbing up would take most of a day. Tea is sold at stalls by the road. The town has a station on the rail line to Dharmapuri, and the wide new NH844 cuts right through it.

Small town
Palacode is a market town for the farms of Dharmapuri district, about 533 m above sea level, with a sugar mill at its edge. The mini bus normally passes through without stopping, though a pump with washrooms is easy to find if needed. Somewhere around here a road branches towards Pennagaram and the Hogenakkal falls, a fine add on if the group has an extra afternoon. The district town is about 25 km further, roughly half an hour.

Group drop
About 3 hours by mini bus with the breakfast halt. The driver brings the group to the hall, temple or venue and finds parking nearby. Dharmapuri stands on NH44, some 57 km past Krishnagiri. Hotels round the bus stand can serve Tamil meals and biryani to a group if the order goes in early. Between March and June the heat climbs high, so carry plenty of water. The district grows mangoes on a large scale, and stalls overflow in summer.
Is a school, college or family group of 14 to 25 going to Dharmapuri, maybe with Hogenakkal? A group of twenty and their bags fit one Bangalore to Dharmapuri mini bus for the 125 km. Book mini bus on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

About 125 km by Hosur, Rayakottai and Palacode, so roughly 250 km for the round trip. A mini bus takes about 3 hours each way with breakfast. The bus leaves NH44 at Hosur and takes the Rayakottai road; the four lane highway through Krishnagiri is longer.
The 20 seater mini bus costs ₹10,200 for the 300 km day at ₹34/km. Plus ₹700 for the driver, and GST and tolls.
Yes. A drop is ₹2 a km above the return rate; the run back is counted in the written quote.
The 18 seater keeps two seats for luggage on the Dharmapuri run. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. It is about 340 km in all, billed at the actual km for the day. Leave by 6 am to reach the coracles before the afternoon crowd.
Yes. It is a narrower two lane road than NH44, so the driver keeps a steady pace through the small towns.
March to June is the hottest, up to about 38 degrees, hard on a group outdoors. Travel early and keep outdoor plans for the morning. December to February is the most pleasant. The monsoon brings moderate rain without closing the road.
Yes. The drive is about three hours, so a group can leave Dharmapuri after an evening function and reach Bangalore before midnight. There is no night closure on the road. Tell us the plan so the driver rests during the day.
