Start of the trip
The tempo traveller is at your apartment gate at 5 am. Bags go in first, behind the last row, and then the elders take the front seats. A 12 seater with 12 people and big suitcases is tight, so keep one soft bag each. The van leaves on Old Madras Road and turns off at Hoskote for the long inland road through Rayalaseema. Carry water, fruit and snacks for the children; breakfast is about two and a half hours away.

Early road
Hoskote, 30 km out, goes by in the half light. The Chennai expressway starts here and NH75 continues to Kolar, but this van takes neither; it turns north east on the two lane road to Chintamani. Children usually sleep through this stretch. Hoskote is famous for its morning mutton biryani, and the family may want it on the drive home instead. Our office is at Hoskote, close to the route.

Through Chintamani
The van passes Chintamani, 75 km out, a taluk town of Chikkaballapur district on the Deccan plateau. Its big silk and tomato markets bring lorries onto the main road early, so the driver keeps patient. If a child needs a restroom, a fuel station in town is quick. The local snacks, chakli and groundnuts, are handy for the long day. After Chintamani the road crosses into Andhra Pradesh. Children can stretch for a minute if the van stops.

Breakfast on the highway
Madanapalle, 130 km out, is where the family eats breakfast. Hotels here serve pesarattu, the green gram dosa, and upma, and a group of twelve gets a table together quickly. Keep 30 minutes. The town is ringed by rocky hills and is the headquarters of Annamayya district; its tomato market is one of the largest anywhere. After breakfast the road climbs gently through the Rayalaseema plateau towards Rayachoti. Refill the water bottles before leaving.

Short halt
Rayachoti, 205 km out, is a short optional halt for water and fruit. The town is one of the oldest in Andhra Pradesh, and its Veerabhadra Swamy temple, about a thousand years old, stands on the bank of the Mandavya river. NH40 from Kurnool to Chittoor crosses the road here, so trucks are many. If the children are asleep, the van keeps going. Kadapa is about an hour on. The family can doze on this stretch.

Tea break
Kadapa, 255 km out, is the tea break and the natural place to stop for the night if the family prefers two days. Hotels serve the local karam dosa, and fuel and ATMs are plentiful; fill the tank here, as towns are small for the next stretch. The city lies south of the Penna river, with the Nallamala and Palkonda hills around three sides. Families going on the same day keep it to fifteen minutes.

Quiet road
Past Kadapa the van reaches Badvel, 345 km out, a revenue division town of Kadapa district on the road towards Kanigiri. The road between Kadapa and Kanigiri is narrower, so the driver keeps a steady pace and drives this part in daylight. The country is dry, with farmland and long open stretches. If anyone needs a restroom, a fuel station in Badvel is the place. Lunch at Kanigiri is about 80 km ahead.

Lunch break
Family lunch at Kanigiri, 425 km out. Andhra meals with gongura, the tangy sorrel leaf pickle, are the standard here; ask for curd for the children. Let everyone rest a little before the next stretch. Kanigiri hill, about 380 m high, rises on the north edge of town, and its old name Kanakagiri means gold hill. The town itself is low and very warm in summer. Keep 45 minutes. The driver checks the tyres while the family eats.

Coffee and snacks
The van pulls in at Addanki, 510 km out, for tea and mirchi bajji, and fruit for the last hour. From here the road runs through cotton and chilli farms towards Guntur. Addanki sits on the coastal plain of Prakasam district at about 24 m, so the air is more humid than in Rayalaseema. The town gives its name to an early Telugu verse inscription found near the Thousand Pillar temple. Keep twenty minutes.

Drop in town
About eleven and a half hours with stops, and the family is in Guntur; the van drops everyone at the hotel or house door. Guntur runs one of the biggest chilli markets in Asia, and a bag of Guntur chillies from the market yard is the usual thing to carry home. Food in town is spicy Andhra meals and mirchi bajji. The city is close to Vijayawada, about 35 km away, and the Agastyeshwara temple is one of its oldest.
Going to Guntur for a wedding with 10 to 20 relatives? A Bangalore to Guntur tempo traveller takes the whole family and the gifts in one van. Get a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels and leave early; it is a full day on the road.

About 585 km one way by Hoskote, Chintamani, Madanapalle, Kadapa, Badvel, Kanigiri and Addanki, so about 1,170 km for the round trip. A tempo traveller takes about 11.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts, or two days with a night at Kadapa.
For the 12 seater tempo traveller: 1,200 km at ₹24/km is ₹28,800. Driver allowance for 4 days is ₹2,000. Add tolls, the Andhra Pradesh permit, parking and GST as they come.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km more, and the empty return is counted in the quote. You get it in writing first.
For a long trip, take the 13 or 16 seater so bags do not sit on laps. Sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
About 12 hours with stops in a tempo traveller. Start at 5:30 am to reach by evening.
Yes. Both are less than an hour from Guntur. Keep a day for them.
November to February is cool and easy. March to June is very hot on the Rayalaseema plains and around Kanigiri, which sits low, so start at 5 am and rest at lunch. The coastal side near Guntur gets most of its rain from June to November, and the driver goes slower on the narrow stretch after Kadapa.
We avoid night driving on the narrow road between Kadapa and Kanigiri, which has few lights and slow trucks. If the family wants to start late, we plan a night at Kadapa and finish the drive the next morning. The highway parts near Bangalore and Guntur are fine after dark.
