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.
Designed for Bangalore teams planning a short outing, leadership offsite or team trek close to the city. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a dedicated Urbania-trained driver and a duty slip reconciled with the final bill. Our corporate travels desk manages the arrangement, and corporate urbania hire bangalore clients with registered accounts receive monthly consolidated billing.
Our most popular option, planned as a relaxed day covering the Yogi Nareyana Mutt, the Amara Narayana Swamy and Bheemalingeshwara temples, the cave temples and Lakshmana Theertha, with prasada at the mutt. The Urbania's recliners and easy entry suit grandparents, and the driver waits patiently at each stop. Many families also add the Adiyogi statue at Chikkaballapur on the way back.
For travellers who want a premium experience even on a short trip. The luxury urbania rental bangalore package includes a deep-cleaned vehicle with fresh seat covers, a formally dressed chauffeur on request and a flexible itinerary that can include Nandi Hills, Lepakshi or a resort lunch. It suits VIP guests, senior executives and special celebrations.
Kaivara, Rehmangarh and the Kailasagiri hills are popular with trekkers from Bangalore. This package is built around early starts, the Rehmangarh eco-tourism trek and time for photography, with space for backpacks and gear. Our force urbania hire drivers are happy to drop the group at the trailhead and pick them up at the end.

Professional Travel Solutions
Streamlined travel services tailored for your next adventure.
Extensive Vehicle Network
Large fleet of cars and buses for all your needs.
Transparent Pricing
Clear costs and availability with no hidden fees.
Easy Booking Options
Simple reservations for regional and outstation trips.
The bangalore to kaivara distance is approximately 70 kilometres via Old Madras Road, Hoskote and the Chintamani road. The drive takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending mainly on traffic around KR Puram. The full loop returning via Chintamani, Sidlaghatta and Devanahalli is about 175 kilometres.
Force Urbania fares start from Rs 50 per kilometre, depending on the seating configuration. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Tolls, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged extra, and no interstate tax applies because the route stays within Karnataka. The final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and any per-day minimum is shown in your written quote.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. Weekends, full moon days and Tatayya's Aradhana are the busiest times, so we recommend booking the Urbania a few days ahead. You can pay by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes.
Yes. Kaivara is ideal for a day trip. A typical plan covers the Yogi Nareyana Mutt, the main temples and the cave shrines in the morning, lunch or prasada at the mutt, and a stop at Murugamalla, Sidlaghatta or Devanahalli on the way back. Adding the Rehmangarh trek makes it a fuller day.
The Yogi Nareyana Mutt offers free prasada to visitors at meal times and simple, low-cost accommodation for pilgrims. There are also small eateries in the town. For a wider choice of restaurants, Chintamani and Hoskote are close by.
The Rehmangarh Fort trek is managed under the Karnataka Forest Department's eco-tourism programme and must be booked in advance through their official booking channel, with a per-person fee and a guide. Trek rules and timings are set by the department, so we recommend booking before finalising your day plan.
October to February is the best period, with cool mornings that are ideal for climbing to the cave temples and trekking. March to May can be hot by midday, so plan to finish outdoor walks early. The monsoon makes the hills green, though rocks can become slippery.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles have seated configurations, and for a short trip like Kaivara the Urbania's recliners are more than comfortable.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure is free, and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Charges are 10 percent between 48 and 72 hours, 25 percent between 24 and 48 hours, 50 percent between 12 and 24 hours and 75 percent within 12 hours. Date or vehicle changes with more than 24 hours notice are made at no penalty, subject to Urbania availability.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance, so we advise travellers to arrange their own if needed, especially for treks. All vehicles are fully insured and compliant, and every driver is verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel date, pickup location, group size and itinerary. You will receive a written quote within 2 hours, and our booking lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
