Bangalore to Kabini Tempo Traveller - Group Travel to Nagarhole and the Kabini Backwaters

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Bangalore to Kabini Route

Four package structures covering the same 220 kilometre route, differing in vehicle class, schedule and billing format.

Corporate Package

Kabini has become the default premium offsite destination for Bengaluru companies, and this package is built around it. GST invoice against your PO, Proforma Invoice at quote stage, 30-day credit terms for registered accounts, and consolidated monthly billing. Executive-class 17 or 20 seater units with charging points at every row, a driver who reports to your designated coordinator, and multi-vehicle convoys for headcounts above 26 — worth planning early, since the road beyond Hand Post is not suited to large convoys arriving after dark. For requirements beyond a single trip, our corporate travels division handles annual contracts on the same fleet.

Family Package

For multi-generational groups of ten to eighteen combining Kabini with Mysuru, Srirangapatna or the elephant camp at Balle. Wide-door 14 seater with lower step height, flexible halt timing so elderly members are not rushed, generous luggage space for camera gear, and a schedule built backwards from your confirmed safari sessions. The two-night, three-day format is what most families choose and it is the most-booked bangalore to kabini tempo traveller package we run.

Budget Package

For photography clubs, birding groups, college batches and friend circles where the per-head number matters. Standard AC 12 or 17 seater, efficient two-night format, value-for-money meal halts on the Mysore road. Filling the vehicle is what makes this work: a fully occupied 17 seater brings the per-person transport cost down to a fraction of the safari and stay budget, with the vehicle standing by between sessions.

Luxury Package

Maharaja-configuration tempo traveller with recliner seats, reading lights, LED entertainment, curtains and a cooler box. Kabini attracts a premium resort clientele, and this is the option for guests staying at the higher-end properties who want the transfer to match the stay. Suited also to visiting delegations and senior family groups. To go a step further, the Force Urbania with its higher roof and premium cabin is the natural upgrade on this route.

Our Services from Bangalore and Mysore

Tejas Tours and Travels operates a full ground-transport fleet out of both Bengaluru and Mysuru. Every service listed here is available on the Kabini corridor and on every other route we cover. Our Mysuru base is 70 kilometres from Karapura, which means short-notice vehicle support on this route is straightforward — useful on a road where breakdown assistance is otherwise thin.

For smaller parties, our premium car rentals in Bangalore cover sedans, SUVs and luxury cars for four to six passengers, and the Innova Hycross is our most requested seven seater for family wildlife trips. For groups of nine to twenty-six, the tempo traveller rent Bangalore fleet is the core of what we do, with the Force Urbania rent Bangalore range covering luxury van requirements.

Larger groups move to our mini bus in Bangalore fleet for 21 to 35 passengers, or to full-size bus rental in Bangalore for 35 to 55. For premium long-distance group travel we operate a dedicated Volvo luxury bus fleet with pushback seating and onboard entertainment.

Beyond leisure travel, we run corporate travels Bangalore contracts for IT and manufacturing clients, airport transfer Bangalore services with live flight tracking for Kempegowda airport taxi pickups, structured employee transportation services Bangalore covering night shift cab service and tech park routes, and safe school transportation services for excursions and college tour bus rental, including nature-education trips to Nagarhole and Bandipur.

Our outstation cabs Bangalore division handles every long-distance vehicle booking including this Kabini route, and our wedding car rental Bangalore service supplies decorated cars and guest-transport buses for functions across Karnataka. Tour packages for Kabini, Bandipur, Coorg, Mysore and the wider South India circuit are available on request from both our Bengaluru and Mysuru operating bases.

How to Book a Tempo Traveller for Hire in Bangalore — Step by Step

Booking a tempo traveller for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under five minutes. Follow these four steps.

Step 1 — Contact Tejas Travels

•      Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week.

•      Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle.

•      For Kabini, share your resort name and your confirmed safari session timings. We build the departure schedule backwards from the safari, not the other way round.

•      Tell us if you plan to add Mysuru, Srirangapatna, Bandipur or Nanjangud, since each changes the day plan and the kilometres.

•      For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number. The driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically.

•      For luxury vehicles, mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire.

Step 2 — Receive Your Written Quote

•      Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email.

•      The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs per km or flat package), driver allowance, applicable toll estimates including the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway toll, and any interstate permit if applicable. Kabini is entirely within Karnataka, so no interstate permit applies on this route.

•      Safari and forest entry fees are not included in the vehicle quote and are paid directly to the Forest Department or your resort.

•      No verbal-only prices. Everything is in writing before you confirm.

•      For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage.

•      If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time.

Step 3 — Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance

•      Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone.

•      A 20 per cent advance payment of the total fare confirms the booking.

•      Payment options: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or credit and debit card via payment link.

•      Advance receipt is issued within 30 minutes.

•      Confirmation includes driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing.

•      Kabini demand peaks from March to May and again over long weekends and the year-end holidays, and safari slots go first. Confirm the resort and safari before you lock the vehicle date.

Step 4 — Your Driver Arrives Early

•      Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure.

•      For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate.

•      The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled and ready.

•      For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire.

•      The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy.

•      During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments and traffic navigation, drops the group at the safari departure point and waits, and plans all forest-area movement in daylight in line with night traffic restrictions.

•      At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.

Quick booking: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.
