Door pickup
The cab picks you up at home around 7:30 am, and a car with four to seven people is out on Tumkur Road quickly. If the family lives in north or east Bangalore, the driver can take the Satellite Town Ring Road through Doddaballapur to Dobbaspet and skip the city traffic, paying toll at Hulikunte. From the west the car runs over the Peenya flyover instead. Keep the flowers, fruit and coconut for the pooja in a cloth bag on the back seat so they stay fresh, and carry some change for the temple.

City edge
Nagasandra, about 15 km from the centre, marks the end of the city on Tumkur Road and the terminus of the metro's Green Line for years. A relative who lives on this side can ride the metro to Nagasandra and be picked up near the station in a minute, which saves the cab a detour into the lanes. NICE Road also meets Tumkur Road near BIEC on this stretch, so a pickup from the south west of the city can join here without crossing the centre. After this the road opens up towards the toll.

Coffee
At Nelamangala, about 25 km out, the car is past the Doddakarenahalli toll and can pull in at a highway hotel for coffee and idli. For four people fifteen minutes is enough. The Hassan highway leaves to the left here, and the cab carries on along NH48. Nelamangala is a taluk headquarters, a town of about 37,232 people at the 2011 census, with fuel stations along the road if the tank needs topping up. A full breakfast can wait until after darshan if the family prefers to eat at the temple.

Koratagere road
Dobbaspet, at 50 km, is where the car leaves NH48 and takes SH3 north towards Koratagere for the last 30 km. The state highway is narrower, with village stretches, but a car moves along it easily. The town was named after Major General Richard Stewart Dobbs, the first collector of Tumkur district, and the official name is Sompura. Weekday lorries from the industrial area crowd the junction, so the driver takes the turn with care. Tea stalls at the junction are handy for a quick cup.

Temple drop
About an hour and a half from home, the cab drops you right at the Mahalakshmi temple, and the driver parks close by. Keep one to two hours for darshan on an ordinary day. Leave footwear in the car rather than at the stalls, since the car is near. Simple meals and temple prasada are available, so the family can eat after darshan. The temple goes back to Thotadappa, brother of Abbayya, in whose family home the goddess was first kept. Dress modestly, as at any temple, and keep the phone on silent inside.
Going to Goravanahalli for Mahalakshmi darshan with four or five family members? This page has the Bangalore to Goravanahalli Cab route, the stops on the way and the fare per car. A cab is the simplest way. Under two hours each way, and the car waits while you pray. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.
Route | One way | Goravanahalli and back | Time by cab |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Goravanahalli via Nagasandra, Nelamangala and Dobbaspet | About 80 km | About 160 km | About 1.5 hr with stops |
Goravanahalli and back is about 160 km, but car hire is billed at a 300 km day. So add Devarayanadurga, Namada Chilume or Siddaganga and the bill does not change. Tolls, parking and GST extra. Car rates per km include fuel, driver and AC, and a daily allowance for the driver goes on the bill.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 1 day, 300 km | 2 days, 600 km |
|---|---|---|---|
₹12 | ₹3,950 | ₹7,900 | |
₹14 | ₹4,550 | ₹9,100 | |
₹18 | ₹5,800 | ₹11,600 | |
₹20 | ₹6,400 | ₹12,800 |
Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹350 to ₹400 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 7, 2 days in the Toyota Innova Crysta is about ₹1,830 a person.
Four people: Swift Dzire or Toyota Etios. Six or seven: Innova or Innova Crysta. Eight to twelve: a 12 seater tempo traveller is cheaper than two cars.
Ten or twelve in the family? Take the Bangalore to Goravanahalli tempo traveller. With elders who need comfort, the Bangalore to Goravanahalli Urbania is better.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
About 80 km one way, so about 160 km for the round trip: Tumkur Road (NH48) past Nagasandra and Nelamangala to Dobbaspet, then SH3 towards Koratagere for the last 30 km. A car takes about 1.5 hours each way with a coffee halt. The day is billed at 300 km, so a second temple fits without extra km.
A 300 km day costs ₹3,600 in a Swift Dzire, ₹4,200 in an Etios, ₹5,400 in an Innova and ₹6,000 in an Innova Crysta. The driver gets ₹350 a day in a sedan and ₹400 in an Innova. Tolls and GST go on top.
Yes. Ask for a one-way quote. One way is ₹2 more per km.
Innova or Innova Crysta. All cars are on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. It is inside the 300 km day.
Yes, Friday is the main day here. Start early.
In October and November it helps. The northeast monsoon reaches Karnataka around 20 October, and heavy evening rain often stalls peak hour traffic in the city. On those days finish darshan by early afternoon and head back so the car is home before the evening rush. The highway itself is fine in rain; the slow part is the city end of Tumkur Road.
Yes. A Dzire or Etios boot takes a bag of fruit, flowers and coconuts along with a small bag each, and an Innova has room behind the last row for more. Keep sarees or new clothes for offering in a closed bag. If you bring back prasada boxes, the driver keeps them flat in the boot so nothing spills on the drive home.
