Places to Visit in Gommatagiri
-01.jpg?tr=w-800,h-848,c-at_max:q-75,w-1920,c-at_max)
Gommateshwara Bahubali Statue
The heart of Gommatagiri is the monolithic statue of Bahubali, the son of the first Tirthankara Rishabhanatha, who renounced a kingdom after winning it and meditated standing so long that creepers grew around his limbs. The statue, around 18 to 20 feet tall, shows these vines curling up his legs and arms, a detail that makes it instantly recognisable. It is a smaller but beautifully carved counterpart to the giant statue at Shravanabelagola. The site is managed as a Jain religious centre, so dress modestly and follow the rules at the shrine.

The heart of Gommatagiri is the monolithic statue of Bahubali, the son of the first Tirthankara Rishabhanatha, who renounced a kingdom after winning it and meditated standing so long that creepers grew around his limbs. The statue, around 18 to 20 feet tall, shows these vines curling up his legs and arms, a detail that makes it instantly recognisable. It is a smaller but beautifully carved counterpart to the giant statue at Shravanabelagola. The site is managed as a Jain religious centre, so dress modestly and follow the rules at the shrine.
The Hilltop and Rock-Cut Steps
Steps cut into the granite lead up the hill, with small shrines along the way. The climb is short but steep in places, and the reward is a wide view of fields, lakes and distant hills around Mysuru. Early mornings and late afternoons offer soft light and cool breezes, and the calm atmosphere makes it a lovely place to sit and reflect. Carry water, and be careful on the rock when it is wet.
Annual Head-Anointing Ceremony
Like Shravanabelagola, Gommatagiri holds a head-anointing ceremony for Bahubali, when the statue is bathed with water, milk, turmeric, sandalwood and flowers. It draws devotees from across Karnataka. Dates are announced by the temple administration, so check before planning a festival visit, and expect larger crowds on those days.
Mysuru Palace
About 20 kilometres away, the Mysore Palace is one of the most visited monuments in India, with its Indo-Saracenic domes, carved doors, stained glass and grand Durbar Hall. On Sundays and public holidays the palace is lit up in the evening with thousands of bulbs, a sight worth timing your return for.
Chamundi Hills
Overlooking Mysuru, Chamundi Hills holds the Chamundeshwari Temple, dedicated to the city's guardian goddess, and a giant monolithic Nandi on the way up. The hilltop gives panoramic views of the city, and the drive takes about 30 minutes from the centre.
Srirangapatna
On the way back towards Bangalore, the island town of Srirangapatna has the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Tipu Sultan's summer palace Daria Daulat Bagh, the Gumbaz mausoleum and the fort ramparts. It is an ideal stop for history lovers.
KRS Dam and Brindavan Gardens
About 30 kilometres from Gommatagiri, the Krishnaraja Sagar dam across the Kaveri is famous for the terraced Brindavan Gardens and their musical fountain show in the evening. It is a popular family stop before heading home.
Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary
Close to Srirangapatna, Ranganathittu is a group of small islands in the Kaveri where painted storks, pelicans, egrets and many other birds nest, and marsh crocodiles bask on the rocks. Boat rides around the islands are the best way to see them, and the nesting season is the most rewarding time to visit.
Shravanabelagola
For a complete Jain pilgrimage, Shravanabelagola, about 85 kilometres from Gommatagiri, holds the famous 57-foot monolithic statue of Gommateshwara on Vindhyagiri hill, one of the largest free-standing statues in the world. Visiting both in one trip is a meaningful experience for devotees and a fascinating comparison for anyone interested in art and history.

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.
Bidadi
Home of the Thatte Idli
The drive leaves Bangalore via Mysore Road and Kengeri and joins the Bangalore–Mysuru Expressway. Bidadi is the "Home of the Thatte Idli", the large, flat, soft idli served with chutney and butter that has become a favourite across the state. The town is also a growing industrial area with major automobile plants nearby. The expressway bypasses Bidadi, but a short service road detour leads to the popular idli stalls, making it an ideal early breakfast stop.
Ramanagara
Silk City of Karnataka
Ramanagara is the "Silk City of Karnataka", home to one of the largest silk cocoon markets in Asia, where farmers bring cocoons for auction every day. Its rugged granite hills became famous as the location of the film Sholay, and the Ramadevara Betta vulture sanctuary lies among them. The expressway gives you good views of the rocky landscape as you pass.
Channapatna
Toy Town of Karnataka
Channapatna is the "Toy Town of Karnataka", known for its lacquered wooden toys and dolls, made from ivory wood and coloured with natural dyes. The craft carries a GI tag, and workshops and showrooms along the old highway sell toys, puzzles and décor. Many travellers stop here on the return journey to pick up gifts for children.
Maddur
Home of the Maddur Vada
Maddur is the "Home of the Maddur Vada", a crisp fritter made with semolina, rice flour, onion and curry leaves. The dish is said to have been created at the town's railway station and is now enjoyed across Karnataka. Well-known eateries near the highway serve it hot, and it is a favourite snack stop for travellers.
Mandya
Sugar City of Karnataka
Mandya is the "Sugar City of Karnataka", surrounded by sugarcane fields irrigated by the Kaveri and its canals. Sugar mills and jaggery units dot the district, and the countryside turns lush and green. The expressway skirts the town and keeps the drive quick.
Srirangapatna
Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan
Srirangapatna is the "Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan", formed by two branches of the Kaveri. It served as the capital of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, and its temple, palace and fort walls are just off the highway. Many visitors save it for the return drive, when a stop here fits naturally before heading back.
Mysuru
City of Palaces
Mysuru is the "Cultural Capital of Karnataka" and the "City of Palaces", known for its royal heritage, Dasara festival, silk sarees, sandalwood and Mysore Pak. Your driver uses the ring road to bypass the busy centre and join the Hunsur road. If you plan to see the palace or Chamundi Hills, your driver can fit them in before or after Gommatagiri.
Gommatagiri
Little Shravanabelagola of Mysuru
The final stretch brings you to the foot of Gommatagiri, the "Little Shravanabelagola of Mysuru", where the granite hill rises from the fields and the statue can be seen at the top. Your driver parks near the base while you climb. After the visit, you can head back to Mysuru for the palace and Chamundi Hills, or to KRS for the evening fountain show, before returning to Bangalore.

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
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. |
