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.

Silk City of Karnataka
The drive leaves Bangalore via Mysore Road and Kengeri and joins the access-controlled Bangalore–Mysuru Expressway, which bypasses the towns along the old highway. Ramanagara is the "Silk City of Karnataka", home to one of Asia's largest silk cocoon markets, and its rocky hills are famous as the filming location of the classic film Sholay. The Ramadevara Betta vulture sanctuary lies among these granite outcrops. The early start helps you clear the Kengeri stretch quickly.

Sugar City of Karnataka
Mandya is the "Sugar City of Karnataka", surrounded by sugarcane fields irrigated by the Kaveri and its canals, with sugar factories and jaggery units across the district. The green landscape is a clear sign that you have reached the Kaveri basin. The expressway skirts the town, keeping the drive smooth and fast.

Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan
Srirangapatna is the "Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan", a river island formed by the Kaveri that served as the capital of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Tipu's summer palace Daria Daulat Bagh, the Gumbaz and the fort ramparts are all close to the highway. Heritage lovers often stop here on the return drive.

City of Palaces
Mysuru is the "City of Palaces", home of the grand Mysore Palace and the famous Dasara festival, when decorated elephants lead the procession. Your driver uses the ring road to bypass the city centre and join the Hunsur road towards Kodagu. Mysuru is a good place to stop for coffee, and many travellers plan an evening at the palace on the way back.

Little Tibet of South India
Bylakuppe is "Little Tibet of South India", one of the largest Tibetan settlements outside Tibet, with monasteries, prayer flags and Tibetan cafes lining the roads. Namdroling Monastery and its Golden Temple are just off the highway, so most travellers stop here either on the way in or the way out. The settlement's calm atmosphere is a striking contrast to the busy highway.
Gateway to Kodagu
Kushalnagar is the "Gateway to Kodagu", the first large town you reach in Coorg, sitting on the banks of the Kaveri. Kaveri Nisargadhama and Harangi Dam are nearby, and the town has a good range of hotels and restaurants, which makes it a convenient base for Dubare. The road to Madikeri continues west from here into the hills.

Home of the Gentle Giants of the Kaveri
A short drive through coffee estates and forest brings you to Dubare, the "Home of the Gentle Giants of the Kaveri". Your driver parks near the riverbank, from where visitors cross to the camp. After the morning session, the cab can take you to Nisargadhama, Chiklihole or Bylakuppe, or up to Madikeri for Raja's Seat and the fort in the evening.










For Bangalore companies planning team outings, offsites and client retreats in Coorg. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approvals, a dedicated driver and signed duty slips. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages multi-car movements under one corporate car rental bangalore invoice, and larger teams can move to a tempo traveller or mini bus.
Our most popular option, covering Dubare, Nisargadhama, Bylakuppe and Madikeri over two days, with an optional stop at Srirangapatna or Channapatna on the way home. An Innova Crysta or Innova Hycross gives families room for children, elders and luggage.
For nature lovers who want to add Harangi, Chiklihole and Nagarahole to Dubare over two or three days. Your driver plans early starts to match morning activities and safari timings.
For students and small groups who want the lowest cost per km. A clean Etios or Dzire sedan, a verified driver and a simple itinerary. The car is simpler, but maintenance checks and driver verification are exactly the same as every other tier.
For guests who want a relaxed, premium Coorg holiday. Choose Toyota Fortuner, Corolla Altis or Camry, or step up to Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class or Rolls-Royce Ghost through our luxury car rental bangalore fleet.

Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |

Dubare Elephant Camp is about 245 km from Bangalore via the Bangalore–Mysuru Expressway, Hunsur, Periyapatna and Kushalnagar. The drive takes about 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours 30 minutes.
Fares start from about Rs 5,004 for a sedan and vary with the vehicle and trip duration. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and the final rental is calculated on total km and hours from our garage to garage. Every charge is listed in your written quote.
Elephant bathing and feeding usually take place in the morning, so plan to arrive early. Timings are set by the forest department and can change, so check the latest schedule before travelling. Leaving Bangalore by 5:00 AM or staying overnight in Kushalnagar is the easiest way to be on time.
It is possible but makes for a long day of nearly 10 hours on the road. We recommend at least one night in Kushalnagar or Madikeri so you can enjoy Dubare in the morning and see the rest of Coorg without rushing.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking. It must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, and the receipt arrives within 30 minutes. The balance is settled at trip end.
The camp may remain open, but high water can stop the river crossing and water activities during heavy rain. October to March is the most reliable season. We recommend checking the status a day before travel.
Yes. Most guests keep the same car and driver throughout, covering Bylakuppe, Nisargadhama, Harangi, Madikeri Fort, Raja's Seat and Abbey Falls. Multi-day trips are billed on total km and hours with a per-day minimum and driver allowance.
A small advance of around 20 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
