Gulbarga Fort and Jama Masjid
The gulbarga fort was strengthened and enlarged by Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah, founder of the Bahmani dynasty, on the site of an earlier fort. Inside stands the Jama Masjid of 1367, remarkable because its entire prayer area is roofed with domes and arches rather than left as an open courtyard, a design unlike almost any other mosque in India. The fort also holds a massive Bahmani-era cannon. Visit in the morning for soft light through the arches.

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.

Birthplace of Tipu Sultan
The trip begins on Bellary Road past Hebbal and the airport flyovers. Devanahalli, beside Kempegowda International Airport, is the birthplace of Tipu Sultan, and its old fort walls lie just off the highway. Elapsed time: about fifty minutes.
Summer Capital of the Vijayanagara Empire
The highway runs through dry, rocky Rayalaseema country, passing the large Kia car plant near Penukonda, the old summer capital of the Vijayanagara Empire with its hill fort. Anantapur follows and is the best breakfast halt, with plenty of highway restaurants. Elapsed time: about three hours thirty minutes.
Hill Fort Town on NH44
A fast NH44 stretch leads to Gooty, a hill fort town whose ancient citadel crowns a steep rock above the plain. Here the route leaves NH44 and turns northwest towards Pattikonda. Elapsed time: about four hours fifteen minutes.

Home of Sri Raghavendra Swamy's Brindavana
A two-lane road crosses cotton and groundnut country through Pattikonda and Yemmiganur. Mantralayam, on the Tungabhadra, holds the Brindavana of Sri Raghavendra Swamy, one of the most visited pilgrimage centres in South India. Most travellers stop here for darshan and lunch, and many book a bangalore to mantralayam cab for this reason alone. Elapsed time: about six hours thirty minutes.

Doab Land between the Krishna and Tungabhadra
After crossing the Tungabhadra back into Karnataka, the road reaches Raichur, which lies in the fertile doab between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers. The city has a hill fort, a large thermal power station and busy cotton markets. Elapsed time: about seven hours fifteen minutes.

Sufi City of the Deccan and First Bahmani Capital
The final stretch crosses the Krishna and passes through Yadgir, headquarters of one of Karnataka's newer districts, with its own hilltop fort. Beyond it lie open tur dal fields. The domes of Kalaburagi appear as you approach the ring road, and your driver takes you straight to your hotel or home. Elapsed time: about ten to eleven hours.










For Bangalore teams travelling to Kalaburagi for plant visits, dealer meets and regional reviews, including the cement belt around Sedam and Shahabad. It includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full multi-day trip and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate minibus bangalore stays with the team throughout. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end.
One of the most common bookings on this corridor: Bangalore families travelling to weddings, engagements and receptions in Kalaburagi and nearby towns.

For larger guest lists, our wedding bus rental bangalore service can combine mini buses, buses and decorated cars under one booking.
Built around Khwaja Bande Nawaz Dargah, Sharana Basaveshwara Temple and Ganagapur, often combined with Hampi on the way. The driver works around darshan timings and festival crowds, including the Urs and the Sharana Basaveshwara jatre. The same vehicle stays with the group for local sightseeing and the return trip.
For groups where cost per head decides the booking. Non-AC 12 to 17 seater mini buses, point to point, with a clean vehicle and verified driver. The mini bus rate per km in bangalore is lowest in the non-AC tier, and across a 600 kilometre one-way run the saving across a full group is substantial. Budget refers only to vehicle specification, never to maintenance or driver standards.
An executive mini coach with fewer, wider push-back seats, extra legroom and premium interiors. Over a two day drive of this length, the difference is real.

The bangalore to gulbarga distance is approximately 605 kilometres via the all-Karnataka route through Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Hosapete, Sindhanur and Shorapur, or around 560 kilometres via Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh. Either way, it is 11 to 12 hours of driving, which is why we recommend splitting the trip across two days with an overnight halt at Hosapete.
Yes. The city was officially renamed Kalaburagi in 2014, but Gulbarga is still widely used, including by many bus operators and search engines. Our bangalore to kalaburagi minibus and Bangalore to Gulbarga bookings refer to the same destination.
Pricing starts from around Rs 30 per kilometre for a 12 seater AC mini bus and varies with seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration and the number of days. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. Every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
We recommend breaking it. Hosapete, at 325 kilometres, is the ideal halt and gives the group an afternoon at Hampi. A single-day run is possible with a 4:30 AM start, but it means 12 or more hours on the road and a late evening arrival. Most groups find the two day plan safer and far more enjoyable.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles have seated configurations with push-back seats. For a journey of this length, we plan a hotel halt at Hosapete instead of continuous overnight driving.
Not on our recommended all-Karnataka route via Chitradurga and Hosapete. If your group prefers the shorter route via Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, an Andhra Pradesh permit is required and billed at actuals. We explain both options in the written quote.
Yes. Wedding groups are among our most frequent bookings on this route. We can arrange one or more mini buses, larger buses or cars for the bride's or groom's party, plan pickups from multiple Bangalore locations and schedule venue transfers in Kalaburagi. For weddings, a minimum 7-day notice is needed for a full refund if plans change.
Yes, and most groups book it this way. The same vehicle and driver stay with the group for Kalaburagi sightseeing, trips to Ganagapur, Sannati or Bidar, and the return journey. Multi-day bookings are billed on total kilometres and hours with driver allowance, and the whole trip is quoted as one figure.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking, paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, with a receipt within 30 minutes. Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge, but multi-day trips such as Kalaburagi need a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund. Charges of 10, 25 and 50 percent apply for later cancellations as set out in our cancellation policy.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers should arrange their own travel insurance if needed.
