Chennakeshava Temple, Belur
The Chennakeshava Temple at Belur is one of the finest surviving examples of Hoysala architecture in the world and, since 2023, a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas. Commissioned by King Vishnuvardhana in 1117 CE on the banks of the Yagachi River and completed over three generations across 103 years, the temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his form as Chennakeshava, meaning the handsome Kesava. The outer walls are covered in horizontal bands of friezes that run for hundreds of metres: elephants at the base representing stability, horses for speed, scrolling foliage, battle scenes, mythological narratives from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and celestial beings all stacked in registers of extraordinary intricacy. The interior features lathe-turned pillars, each carved differently, and the famous Madanika bracket figures, celestial damsels in different postures, are considered masterpieces of Indian medieval sculpture. No two bracket figures in the temple are identical. Travellers booking a Belur Halebidu cab from Bangalore almost always spend at least two hours here, which still leaves the feeling of having seen only a fraction of what the temple contains.

Bangalore
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.

Nelamangala
City exit via NH 75
The first stage covers around 30 kilometres from the city through Yeshwantpur and Tumkur Road before connecting to NH 75 at Nelamangala, which is the main junction town on the western edge of Bangalore's extended urban area. This is the departure corridor for several western Karnataka routes including those toward Hassan, Mangalore, Chikmagalur and the Coorg highway, so the roads into Nelamangala can carry significant morning traffic, particularly on weekends and public holidays when outbound leisure travel peaks. Most drivers making a Bangalore to Hassan cab run plan the pickup time to clear this stretch before seven in the morning on weekdays or even earlier on weekends, which typically allows passage through Nelamangala well before the congestion builds. Nelamangala town has a good selection of highway restaurants and fuel stations that serve as the first natural pause on the journey, suitable for a quick breakfast or a tea stop before the more open road toward Kunigal begins.

Kunigal
Agricultural countryside
From Nelamangala, the route continues west on NH 75 through a stretch of road that transitions fairly quickly from the extended urban fringe of Bangalore to genuine agricultural countryside, with sugarcane, areca nut and vegetable fields on either side and the road widening into a comfortable four-lane national highway that is well-maintained for most of this section. The distance from Nelamangala to Kunigal is around 65 kilometres, and on a clear day this stretch takes approximately 45 to 55 minutes at a comfortable highway pace. Yediyur is a small town along this route with a notable lake that is visible from the road and has become a brief stopping point for some travellers, while the Sri Siddalingeshwara Swamy Temple at Yediyur draws pilgrims who combine the Hassan heritage visit with a morning stop here. Kunigal itself is a modest market town with no major tourist attractions, but its fuel stations and small restaurants make it a practical mid-point rest stop for travellers who prefer a break before reaching Channarayapatna.

Channarayapatna
Busy highway town with temples and markets
The stretch from Kunigal to Channarayapatna covers around 60 kilometres and is where the character of the drive starts to shift in a way that signals the approach to the heritage circuit of Hassan district. Channarayapatna, also known locally as CRP, is a busy and historically significant town in its own right: it sits at the junction of routes leading to Shravanabelagola and is around 50 kilometres from both Hassan town and Shravanabelagola. Travellers heading specifically to Shravanabelagola sometimes turn off the main highway at Channarayapatna to reach the Jain pilgrimage centre directly, rather than first going to Hassan and doubling back. The town has a temple tank and a local market that gives the urban centre its characteristic Karnataka small-town atmosphere, and the surrounding area is rich agricultural land where silk cultivation and rice farming are prominent. This section of the drive is where first-time visitors on a Hoysala temples tour from Bangalore start to see the landscape opening up into the wider Hassan plateau.

Hassan Town
Final approach to Hassan; gateway to Belur, Halebidu and the Hoysala circuit
The final 28 kilometres from Channarayapatna to Hassan town is typically the smoothest and fastest part of the journey, covering the remaining distance in around 25 to 30 minutes as the road continues on well-maintained state highway through the Hassan district's characteristic mix of tank irrigation, agricultural fields and tree-lined roads. Hassan town itself is a compact, functioning district city with a good range of hotels, restaurants serving local Karnataka food and the services needed for a comfortable stay. The city's proximity to all the major heritage sites makes it the ideal base: Belur is 35 kilometres, Halebidu is 32 kilometres, Shravanabelagola is 50 kilometres and Shettihalli is 13 kilometres. Most travellers arriving on a Bangalore to Hassan taxi for a full day visit to the temples drive through Hassan and go directly to Belur first, as this temple benefits from morning light, returning to Hassan for lunch before heading to Halebidu in the afternoon.

Bangalore to Hassan Tempo Traveller Packages
A heritage day trip, a school excursion and a family pilgrimage are three different journeys over the same 185 kilometres. These five structures exist so that groups pay for what they actually need. All include fuel, a police-verified driver, GPS tracking and round-the-clock support, and none carries a permit charge, because this route does not need one.
Heritage Day Trip Package
The signature package on this route and the reason most groups call. One vehicle, one driver, one day: Bangalore to Shravanabelagola to Belur to lunch to Halebidu and home, with the driver waiting at each site for as long as the group takes. Because the 300 kilometre daily minimum applies regardless, a full-day round trip covering the whole circuit costs only marginally more than a one-way drop into Hassan, which is why we recommend it to almost everybody. Expect around 450 kilometres in total once the local legs are counted. Departure at six, back in Bangalore by eight in the evening.
Family Package
A 12 seater tempo traveller bangalore to hassan carries three generations to a circuit that suits them unusually well, because Hassan offers both ends of the effort scale within the same day. Belur and Halebidu are level walking circuits that anyone can manage; Shravanabelagola is 614 barefoot steps for whoever wants them while the rest wait comfortably at the base. Grandparents get an aisle seat with an armrest rather than a squeezed middle row, and the vehicle becomes the group's fixed point across four sites. Round-trip family bookings carry a ten percent discount.
School and College Excursion Package
This is the strongest educational excursion route within reach of Bangalore, and we run a great many of them. A single day, no interstate permit, no ghat road, four sites of genuine curriculum relevance covering Hoysala architecture, Jain heritage and colonial history, and a return before dark. A 17 seater tempo traveller bangalore to hassan carries a full class section with accompanying staff, bookings come with verified drivers and a documented itinerary the institution can circulate to parents, and multi-vehicle groups are convoy-coordinated. See our student transportation management service for institutional accounts.
Corporate and Luxury Package
Heritage offsites have become a popular alternative to the standard resort weekend, and Hassan works because it is close enough for a single day. The luxury tempo traveller bangalore tier delivers high-back recliners with footrests, dual-zone climate control, individual reading lights, per-seat USB charging and premium audio, with the Force Urbania at the top of the range. GST tax invoices are issued within twenty-four hours and Proforma Invoices are available for purchase-order approval through our corporate travel desk. The Force Urbania is the usual choice for executive groups.
Budget and Pilgrimage Package
For friend groups, student batches and temple committees, a 12 or 13 seater at Rs 22 per kilometre against the 300 kilometre minimum works out to roughly Rs 500 per person for a full-day group booking, which no other arrangement matches. Vehicles are standard AC with 2+1 push-back seating, overhead racks and full-length curtains. For Jain groups visiting Shravanabelagola and Hindu devotees timing a visit for the Hasanamba opening, itineraries are built around darshan timings rather than driving times through our outstation vehicle booking desk.

How to Book Your Bangalore to Hassan Tempo Traveller
Booking a vehicle for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under five minutes. Four steps, start to finish.
Step 1: Contact Tejas Travels
Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com. The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tell us your travel date, your Bangalore pickup location, which can be an area or a landmark such as Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, a hotel name or a tech park, your destination or full itinerary, the number of passengers and your preferred vehicle. If the pickup is from KIA airport, include the flight number: the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing automatically for delayed flights. For luxury vehicles such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes or Rolls-Royce, mention the occasion as well, whether corporate, wedding or VIP event, so the team can assign the best-condition vehicle and, where required, arrange formal chauffeur attire.
Step 2: Receive Your Written Quote
A written quote reaches you by WhatsApp or email within two hours of your enquiry. It itemises every charge: the vehicle hire rate, whether per kilometre or as a flat package, the driver allowance at Rs 400 to 1,000 per day depending on vehicle class, applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit that applies, such as Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad or Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati. No permit applies to Hassan, which stays within Karnataka throughout. Nothing is quoted verbally only. Everything is in writing before you confirm. Corporate clients who need the figure for reimbursement can request a Proforma Invoice at this stage. If you want to weigh up two vehicle classes against each other, ask for both quotes at the same time.
Step 3: Confirm Your Booking and Pay the Advance
Once the written quote works for you, confirm by WhatsApp or phone. An advance of 15 to 20 percent locks in the booking. Pay by UPI through Google Pay, PhonePe or Paytm, by NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or by credit or debit card through a payment link. Your advance receipt arrives within thirty minutes. The confirmation that follows carries the driver's name and mobile number, the vehicle registration, the departure time, the pickup location and the full billing breakdown, all in writing. For luxury vehicles such as the Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series or Mercedes S-Class, the advance may be higher, because the fleet is limited and Bangalore peak dates, meaning the November to February wedding season and New Year, book out early.
Step 4: Your Driver Arrives Early
Your assigned driver reaches the confirmed Bangalore pickup point fifteen minutes before the scheduled departure, and calls you thirty minutes ahead as a courtesy. For KIA airport transfers he coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle arrives clean, sanitised, fuelled and ready, and for wedding and VIP bookings the driver is in formal attire. Through the journey he handles routing, toll payments and Bangalore traffic navigation. At the end of the trip the balance is settled after deducting the advance, with any additional kilometres or hours billed at the rate agreed upfront.
Quick booking: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination and travel date. Written quote within two hours.
Payment Methods
Tejas Travels accepts every major digital and traditional payment method, both for the advance and for the final settlement at the end of the trip.
UPI is the fastest route and the one we recommend for all advance deposits. Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM UPI and Amazon Pay are all accepted, and confirmation is instant on receipt.
Bank transfer by NEFT, IMPS or RTGS suits corporate clients and any advance above Rs 5,000. IMPS clears instantly; NEFT can take up to two hours.
Credit and debit cards on Visa, Mastercard and RuPay are accepted through a payment link sent to your registered mobile or email, valid for both the advance and full payment.
Net banking from all major Indian banks works through the same payment link by WhatsApp or email, and is the preferred route for Bangalore IT corporates running purchase-order based approvals.
Cash is accepted for the balance at the end of the trip, with a receipt issued. The advance itself must be digital for the booking to be confirmed.
Corporate credit is available to registered corporate accounts on 30-day terms, with monthly consolidated invoicing on request.
A note on luxury vehicles: for the Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class, a higher advance may be required, given limited fleet availability in Bangalore and demand through the wedding season.

The cancellation policy is tiered, fair and transparent, and every term is confirmed to you in writing at the time of booking.

What Our Customers Say About Our Tempo Traveller Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Hassan Tempo Traveller
The bangalore to hassan tempo traveller price starts at Rs 9,750 for a 12 TT, since Hassan at 185 kilometres one way falls below it. A full-day round trip covering the whole Hoysala circuit runs to around 450 kilometres and is quoted on the actual distance. All rates are garage-to-garage with fuel included, and there is no permit charge on this route.
A daily minimum of 300 kilometres applies to every outstation booking regardless of destination, which covers the vehicle being committed to your group for the day. Hassan is 185 kilometres one way, so a one-way drop is billed at the 300 kilometre minimum anyway. The practical consequence is that a full-day round trip covering Belur, Halebidu and Shravanabelagola costs only marginally more than a one-way drop into Hassan town. That is why we recommend the round trip to almost every group asking about this route.
Three and a half to four and a half hours to Hassan town including one break, with actual driving time closer to three hours in light traffic. NH75 is good four-lane highway the whole way with no ghat section, so the only real variable is the Nelamangala junction on the way out. Belur is a further forty-five minutes past Hassan.
Yes, comfortably, provided you leave Bangalore by six and plan the order properly. The working itinerary is Shravanabelagola on the way in, turning off at Channarayapatna, then Belur late morning, lunch, Halebidu in the afternoon, and back in Bangalore by around eight in the evening. That is roughly 450 kilometres in total. If anyone in the group wants to spend serious time at each site, split it over two days with a night in Hassan.
Shravanabelagola first, then Belur, then Halebidu. Two reasons. The 614 steps at Shravanabelagola are climbed barefoot and the granite becomes genuinely painful underfoot by late morning, so early is far more comfortable. And Belur's carvings are at their best in low morning light, which rakes across the friezes and shows the depth of the relief in a way that midday sun flattens completely. Halebidu's broader wall surfaces suit softer afternoon light. Tell your driver the order before you set off.
No. Hassan is in Karnataka, so the whole journey runs on the standard state permit with no border check post, no additional paperwork and nothing extra to pay. Combined with the short distance and the absence of any ghat section, this is the simplest outstation route we run to arrange at short notice. Permits become relevant only on interstate routes such as Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad or Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati.
For roughly one week each year, during the Deepavali season, after which the doors close until the following year. Local belief holds that the lamps lit at closing burn until reopening and that the flowers offered are found fresh. Crowds during the opening week are very large and queues run for hours, so a group visit then needs planning well in advance rather than improvisation on the day. Outside that week the exterior and the surrounding town are still worth twenty minutes if you are in Hassan.
Yes, and on this route that is the entire point. The sites are 30 to 50 kilometres apart in three different directions, so the vehicle is your group's fixed point for the whole day. The driver waits at each site for as long as you take, with no waiting charge on a round-trip booking. Local kilometres are added to the garage-to-garage total at the same per-kilometre rate. At Shettihalli the final approach track is rough, so he parks short and the group walks the last stretch.
It is the best one within reach of Bangalore, and we run a lot of them. A single day, no interstate permit, no ghat road, four sites covering Hoysala architecture, Jain heritage and colonial history, and a return before dark. A 17 or 18 seater carries a full class section with accompanying staff. Bookings come with verified drivers and a documented itinerary the institution can circulate to parents, and larger groups are convoy-coordinated across multiple vehicles.
An advance of 20 percent confirms the booking and holds the vehicle for your date, paid by UPI, bank transfer or card link, with the receipt issued within thirty minutes. Tejas Travels is GST registered and issues a tax invoice with GSTIN, vehicle details and a full fare breakdown within 24 hours of trip completion. A Proforma Invoice can be issued in advance for purchase-order approval, which is standard for school and corporate bookings. See our corporate travel services for account setup.
