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.

Khwaja Bande Nawaz Dargah
The khwaja bande nawaz dargah honours Hazrat Syed Muhammad Hussaini Gesu Daraz, a Chishti Sufi saint who settled in Gulbarga around 1400 at the invitation of Sultan Firoz Shah and died here in 1422. The shrine complex has a library of rare Urdu, Persian and Arabic books, and the annual Urs draws huge crowds from across India. Dress modestly and cover your head.
Sharana Basaveshwara Temple
The sharana basaveshwara temple holds the samadhi of Sharana Basaveshwara, an eighteenth-century Lingayat saint celebrated for his teaching of dasoha, the idea that giving is a form of earning. A lake lies beside the temple, and the annual chariot festival brings the city to a standstill with devotees.
Haft Gumbaz
This cluster of seven domed tombs houses several Bahmani rulers and their families. Some tombs are double-chambered, with one chamber for the king and another for his family, a feature rarely seen elsewhere. The complex is quiet and atmospheric in the late afternoon.
Shor Gumbaz
Standing on high ground near the fort, this single-domed structure with corner towers resembles a smaller Gol Gumbaz. Local guides say its name comes from the noise of passing horses, and visitors enjoy testing its echo.
Buddha Vihar
About six kilometres from the city on Sedam Road, the Buddha Vihar is a modern monastery set on 18 acres. Its marble-clad dome is about 70 feet tall and is surrounded by tall Ashoka pillars. The meditation hall below is peaceful and well maintained.
Ganagapur Dattatreya Temple
On the banks of the Bhima, the ganagapur dattatreya temple is one of the most important shrines dedicated to Lord Dattatreya and is linked to the saint Sri Narasimha Saraswati. Pilgrims bathe at the river sangam before darshan. It makes an easy half-day trip from the city.
Sannati and Kanaganahalli
About 75 kilometres away, Sannati on the Bhima is home to the Chandrala Parameshwari Temple, where excavations revealed Ashokan edicts, and to the nearby Kanaganahalli Buddhist site with the remains of a great stupa. It is a fascinating stop for history lovers.

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.
The most common booking on this route: families from the Kalyana Karnataka region living in Bangalore, travelling home for weddings, engagements and festivals. The driver plans pickups across Bangalore and drops at venues and homes, and the vehicle can stay for local movement during the function.

For devotees visiting the Khwaja Bande Nawaz Dargah, the Sharana Basaveshwara Temple, Ganagapur and Basavakalyan, often with Hampi on the way. The driver plans around darshan timings and major festivals such as the Urs and the jatre.

The bangalore to gulbarga distance is approximately 605 kilometres via the all-Karnataka route through Chitradurga, Hosapete, Sindhanur and Shorapur, or around 560 kilometres via Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh. The drive takes 11 to 12 hours, which we recommend splitting across two days with an overnight halt at Hosapete.
Yes. The city was officially renamed Kalaburagi in 2014, but Gulbarga is still widely used. Our bangalore to kalaburagi tempo traveller and Bangalore to Gulbarga bookings refer to the same destination.
Not on our recommended all-Karnataka route via Chitradurga and Hosapete. If your group prefers the shorter route via Anantapur, an Andhra Pradesh permit is required and billed at actuals. Both options are explained in the written quote.
Our 12 and 13 seater AC tempo travellers start from Rs 22 per km, with other sizes and luxury variants priced higher. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance, while toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra. Final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
Yes. Family and wedding groups are among our most frequent bookings on this route. We can arrange one or more tempo travellers, mini buses or cars, plan pickups across Bangalore and keep the vehicle available for local movement during the function. For weddings, a minimum 7-day notice is needed for a full refund if plans change.
For 8 to 10 people, an 8, 9 or 10 seater executive tempo traveller with individual captain seats is very comfortable on a long drive. For 11 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater is our most popular and economical choice. For 14 to 18, the larger models give everyone a seat with luggage space. For bigger groups, we recommend a mini bus.
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 an overnight halt at Hosapete, which is safer and more comfortable than continuous driving.
Yes. The same vehicle and driver can stay with the group for local visits in Kalaburagi, trips to Ganagapur, Sannati or Basavakalyan, and the return journey. The whole trip is quoted as one figure.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking, paid by UPI, bank transfer or card, with a receipt within 30 minutes. Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 percent, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent, and less than 12 hours 75 percent of the total fare.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers should arrange their own travel insurance if needed.
