Sri Yogi Narayana Mutt and Tatayya's Shrine
The heart of modern Kaivara is the mutt dedicated to Yogi Narayana Yathindra, known as Kaivara Tatayya, a saint-poet who composed devotional songs and philosophical verses in Telugu and Kannada and taught a simple path of devotion and self-knowledge. His followers maintain a large campus with a shrine, prayer halls and facilities for devotees, and the mutt holds regular bhajans and annadana. Guru Poornima and the saint's annual celebrations attract thousands of devotees. Visitors are welcome to join the prayers, and modest dress is expected.

Guru Poornima and the saint's annual celebrations attract thousands of devotees. Visitors are welcome to join the prayers, and modest dress is expected.
Sri Amara Narayana Swamy Temple
This old temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu as Amara Narayana is the principal shrine of the town. Local tradition links it with the Pandavas and with the saint Tatayya, who is said to have been a devotee here. The temple has a simple, traditional structure, and its festivals draw large crowds from the surrounding villages.
Sri Bheemalingeshwara Temple
Associated with the Mahabharata legend of Bhima, this Shiva temple is believed by devotees to have been established by Bhima after he defeated Bakasura. The temple is a reminder of Kaivara's identity as Ekachakrapura, and many visitors pray here along with the Amara Narayana shrine.
Kaivara Hill and Caves
The rocky hill above the town is dotted with caves and small shrines, some of which local tradition links with the Pandavas and with the meditation of Tatayya. Steps and paths lead up the hill, and the climb rewards you with wide views of the surrounding farmland and granite hills. Carry water and wear comfortable footwear, especially in the afternoon heat.
Kailasagiri Cave Temples
About 15 kilometres away near Chintamani, Kailasagiri is a hill with rock-cut caves and shrines, including images of Shiva, Parvathi and Ganesha. The quiet surroundings and the short climb make it a good addition for those interested in cave temples.
Ambaji Durga
A hill fort near Chintamani, Ambaji Durga offers a short but steep trek with ruins, rock shelters and a temple on top. It is a favourite with local trekkers, and the views from the summit are excellent, especially at sunrise.
Murugamalla Dargah
Near Chintamani, the Murugamalla dargah is the shrine of a revered Sufi saint and is visited by people of many faiths. The annual urs draws large crowds, and the dargah is a symbol of the region's shared spiritual heritage.
Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple and Nandi Hills
On the return drive via Chikkaballapur, the Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple at Nandi village is a beautiful complex with shrines built across the Nolamba, Chola, Hoysala and Vijayanagara periods. Nandi Hills, just above it, is famous for its sunrise views, Tipu's Drop and the source of several rivers.
Chintamani Town
A short drive from Kaivara, Chintamani is a busy market town for silk, vegetables and fruits. It is a useful stop for meals and shopping, and the base for trips to Kailasagiri, Ambaji Durga and Murugamalla.

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.
Home of Bangalore's Hanging Bridge
The drive leaves central Bangalore along Old Madras Road through Indiranagar and Baiyappanahalli towards KR Puram. KR Puram, short for Krishnarajapuram, is the "Home of Bangalore's Hanging Bridge", the cable-stayed flyover that carries traffic over the railway line and has become a landmark of East Bangalore. The area is a major junction where the Outer Ring Road, Old Madras Road and the railway meet, and it gets extremely busy during office hours. The KR Puram railway station is one of the busiest in the city. Leaving by 6:00 AM means you cross this stretch in minutes rather than an hour, which sets the tone for a relaxed trip.
Biryani Town of East Bangalore
After KR Puram, the road continues past Budigere Cross and the Hoskote toll plaza on NH75. Hoskote is the "Biryani Town of East Bangalore", famous for its early-morning dum biryani served as early as 5:00 AM, which draws visitors from across the city. The town has grown into an industrial and logistics hub, with warehouses and factories lining the highway. The large Hoskote lake is visible from the road after a good monsoon, and the town also has the Avimukteshwara Temple. This is the most popular breakfast stop on the route, whether you prefer biryani or a traditional idli-vada breakfast.
Gateway to Kaiwara
Leaving Hoskote, the route turns north-east onto the Hoskote–Chintamani highway, a stretch that runs through the "Silk and Grape Belt" of the Bangalore Rural, Kolar and Chikkaballapur region. Mulberry farms supply leaves for silkworm rearing, and vineyards, eucalyptus groves and vegetable fields line the road. Small villages with roadside stalls sell fresh grapes, guavas and tender coconuts depending on the season. Granite hills begin to appear on the horizon, a sign that you are getting close to Kaivara. The road is generally smooth, and traffic is much lighter than on Old Madras Road.
Ekachakrapura of the Mahabharata
The final stretch brings you into Kaivara, "Ekachakrapura of the Mahabharata" and the "Land of Kaivara Tatayya". Your driver parks near the mutt or the temple area, from where you can walk to the main shrines. Most visitors begin with darshan at the mutt and the Amara Narayana Swamy Temple, then visit the Bheemalingeshwara Temple and climb the hill. The mutt often provides annadana at meal times, and simple eateries serve local food. After the visit, you can head to Chintamani and its nearby sights, or return to Bangalore via Chikkaballapur and Nandi Hills.
For Bangalore teams looking for a short morning trek and a relaxed half-day outing close to the eastern tech corridors. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval and multi-vehicle coordination when teams leave from different offices. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages larger movements.
A same-day trip covering the ashram, the Amaranarayana and Bheemalingeshwara temples, Vaikunta hill and, for those who wish, the climb up the Betta. The driver plans the day around temple timings and the needs of elders. This is our most popular temple tour tempo traveller bangalore option on the eastern side of the city.

No. Bangalore, Hoskote and Kaivara all lie within Karnataka, so there is no interstate tax. It applies only if you extend the trip into Andhra Pradesh, for example to Lepakshi or Tirupati.
The climb is around 700 stone steps and takes 30 to 45 minutes. It is steep in places and best suited to reasonably fit adults and older children. Start early in the morning, wear good shoes and carry water. Elders can stay at the temples and the ashram while the rest of the group climbs.
Yes. The Yogi Narayana Ashram serves free prasada to visitors at meal times, and there are small eateries near the temples. For a wider choice, Chintamani is just 10 kilometres away, and Hoskote on the way home is famous for its biryani.
December to March is the most comfortable time, with cool mornings that are ideal for the hill climb. The summer months from April to June are hot, so plan the climb for early morning. Weekends, Ekadasi and festival days bring larger crowds of devotees.
Yes. Chintamani and Murugamalla are close by, and Nandi Hills with the Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple can be added on the return via Chikkaballapur. Share your plan and our tempo traveller hire bangalore team will suggest a practical order and include every stop in one written quote.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services; all our vehicles are seated configurations with push-back seats.
