Kanakachalapathi (Lakshmi Narasimha) Temple
The reason to come. This 16th century Vishnu temple was the principal shrine of the Gujjala Nayaka chieftains who ruled Kanakagiri under the Vijayanagara empire, and it shows. Tall gopurams, a pillared rangamantapa, lime sculptures and faded ceiling paintings of epic scenes fill the complex. Local legend says the deity was found in an anthill where the cows of the first Nayaka ruler kept pouring out their milk. The kanakagiri temple is at its liveliest during the annual Phalguna jatre, when the chariot festival draws crowds from across the district.

Venkatapathi Bhavi (Lakshabhavi)
A royal stepwell built in the 16th century by Venkatappa Nayaka, brother of the ruler Udachappa Nayaka. It is also called Lakshabhavi because it reportedly cost one lakh gold varahas. The venkatapathi bhavi has staircases at each corner, a carved pavilion, and small shrines to Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva facing each other across the water. Look for the Gajasura Samhara panel on the staircase wall. It is a short drive from the main temple and rarely crowded, which makes it ideal for photography in the late afternoon light.
Anjanadri Hill
Around 45 minutes from Kanakagiri near Anegundi, this rocky hill is revered as the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. Roughly 575 whitewashed steps lead to the hilltop temple, and the climb is repaid with one of the finest views in the region: boulder fields, banana plantations and the Tungabhadra river winding towards Hampi. Start early, carry water, and keep bags zipped because the resident monkeys are bold. Our drivers usually plan this as a sunrise or sunset stop.
Anegundi — The Kishkindha of the Ramayana
Older than Hampi and sitting on the northern bank of the Tungabhadra, Anegundi was the earliest seat of the Vijayanagara empire and is identified with the monkey kingdom of Kishkindha. The village still has fort walls, the Gagan Mahal, the Ranganatha temple and a relaxed pace that many visitors prefer to Hampi. Coracle rides on the river are a local highlight. The annual Anegundi Utsava brings music and dance to the old palace grounds.
Pampa Sarovar
A calm lotus pond at the foot of the hills near Anegundi, linked in the Ramayana to the devotee Shabari, who waited here for Lord Rama. A small Lakshmi temple and a hilltop cave shrine sit beside the water. It is a gentle, shaded stop that works well with Anjanadri on the same outing, particularly for elderly travellers who want the spiritual experience without a long climb.
Nava Brindavana
An island in the Tungabhadra holding the memorial shrines of nine revered saints of the Madhva tradition. It is an important pilgrimage point for Madhva followers, and the setting, surrounded by flowing water and granite boulders, is striking even for non-pilgrims. Access depends on river levels and local boat arrangements, so check conditions a day ahead.
Hampi — The City of Ruins
The UNESCO World Heritage capital of the Vijayanagara empire lies across the river, roughly an hour from Kanakagiri by road. The Virupaksha Temple, the stone chariot at Vittala Temple, the Lotus Mahal and the Elephant Stables need at least a full day. Many of our guests book a combined itinerary through our bangalore to hampi cab route and add Kanakagiri as a day trip, which is exactly how that old proverb intended it.
Tungabhadra Dam
The large masonry dam between Hosapete and Munirabad holds back one of the biggest reservoirs in Karnataka. The gardens and viewpoint are pleasant in the evening, and after a good monsoon, when the crest gates open, the spillway is a sight worth timing your trip around. It sits directly on the route, so it costs you very little extra time.
Kinhal Toy Village
Kinhal in Koppal district is known for its lacquered wooden toys and figurines, a craft protected by a Geographical Indication tag. The painted deities, animals and processional figures are made by hand in family workshops. A short detour here is a good way to take home something genuinely local rather than a mass-produced souvenir.

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.
Kalpataru Nadu
A wide, fast six-lane highway through open farmland brings you to Tumakuru, called "Kalpataru Nadu", the Land of Coconut Groves, for the thousands of coconut palms that line the countryside. The city is best known for the Siddaganga Mutt, which has fed and educated generations of rural children, and for Devarayanadurga, a forested hill temple a short drive to the east. On the highway itself, Tumakuru offers plenty of clean restaurants, so it is a sensible place for early breakfast if your group is hungry. Most drivers use the bypass to avoid the city centre, keeping the journey smooth. By now the landscape starts to shift from the green of the Bangalore belt to the drier plains of central Karnataka. Elapsed time: roughly 1 hour 30 minutes.
Thatte idli
Sira is a quiet town with a surprisingly important past. During the Mughal period it served as a provincial seat, and the ruins of its fort and the elegant tomb of Malik Rehan still recall those years. Today most travellers know it as a reliable highway halt with fuel pumps and roadside eateries serving thatte idli and strong filter coffee. The road here is straight and well maintained, and your driver will usually keep a steady pace through this section. If you left Bangalore without breakfast, the dhabas around Sira are a good choice. Groups travelling with children often use this halt to stretch their legs before the longer run towards Chitradurga. Elapsed time: about 2 hours 15 minutes.
Kallina Kote
The approach to Chitradurga is announced by granite hills topped with wind turbines. The city is famous as "Kallina Kote", the Stone Fortress, built in seven concentric rings by the Nayakas of Chitradurga. Its most loved story is that of Onake Obavva, the woman who defended a secret passage in the fort with only a wooden pestle. The fort needs at least two hours to explore properly, so many travellers visit it on the return journey. On the outward trip, Chitradurga is the natural breakfast or brunch halt, with a good choice of vegetarian restaurants near the bypass. This is also where NH48 continues north towards Davanagere and your driver turns north-east onto NH50 towards Hosapete. Elapsed time: about 3 hours 45 minutes.
Gateway to Hampi
As the road nears Hosapete, the landscape changes dramatically. Giant granite boulders appear on both sides, sugarcane and banana fields replace the dry scrub, and the first signs for Hampi come into view. Hosapete, the headquarters of Vijayanagara district, is known as the "Gateway to Hampi", which lies just 13 kilometres away. The town is also home to the Tungabhadra Dam, one of the largest reservoirs in Karnataka. Hosapete has the widest choice of hotels and restaurants in the region, which is why many of our guests base themselves here and make Kanakagiri a day trip. It is the right place for lunch on the outward journey. Travellers who have booked a bangalore to hospet cab usually end their drive here. Elapsed time: about 6 hours.
Swarnagiri
The final leg follows SH29 north-east for about 30 minutes through mango orchards and farmland. Kanakagiri, known in older texts as "Swarnagiri", the Hill of Gold, takes its name from the sage Kanaka Muni, who is said to have performed penance here. Tradition also links it with the Suvarnagiri mentioned as a southern seat during Emperor Ashoka's time. The town grew into a proud cultural centre under the Gujjala Nayakas, who ruled from here from the 15th to the 19th century and filled it with temples, mantapas and wells. Two state highways, SH29 and SH63, meet in town, and the Kanakachalapathi Temple sits right at its heart. Your cab will drop you at the temple, your stay, or anywhere else in town. On round trips, the driver stays with you for the full visit. Total elapsed time: about 7 hours 30 minutes.
Built for Bangalore IT, manufacturing and engineering teams heading north for plant visits, dealer meets, offsites and annual team trips. It includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver who stays with the team for the full trip, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate tempo traveller bangalore runs the Chitradurga, Hosapete, Gangavathi and Kanakagiri legs without a handover, with duty slips signed daily and reconciled against the final invoice. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end, including pickups from multiple tech park gates on the morning of departure.
The most common booking on this corridor. It is usually part of a wider north Karnataka circuit over four to six days taking in Kanakagiri, Hampi, Anegundi, Anjanadri and sometimes Badami and Aihole further north. The package is designed around temple timings rather than highway speed, with a driver who understands that a family will spend two hours inside a temple complex and needs the vehicle waiting where they came out, not parked a kilometre away. Luggage capacity is the practical advantage on a week-long trip: a 17 seater swallows what three cars would struggle with. A tempo traveller for family trip bangalore booking on this route is typically quoted per kilometre with a daily minimum plus driver allowance.
For groups where cost per head decides the booking. Non-AC 9 to 14 seater tempo travellers, point to point, no frills, clean vehicle, verified driver. This suits college groups, community trips and pilgrimage associations travelling in the cooler months when air conditioning matters less. The tempo traveller per km rate in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest, and across an 800 kilometre return run the saving across a full group is substantial. The budget tier is about vehicle specification only. It is never about maintenance standards or driver vetting, which are identical across every category we operate.
Executive configuration with fewer, wider push-back seats, more legroom, better sound insulation and premium interiors. Over eight hours of highway the difference is real rather than cosmetic, and it shows most on the NH50 section where the road surface is more variable. This tier suits senior management travel, milestone family trips and any group that wants to stay together without giving up comfort. For a step further, our luxury urbania rental bangalore option in 13 to 17 seater configuration is the premium alternative on the same route, and the luxury tempo traveller bangalore tier sits just below it.
Our ac tempo traveller rental bangalore fleet covers 8 to 18 seater configurations in AC and non-AC. We operate the full range of group vehicles from the same Bangalore base, so if your headcount changes after booking we can usually move you up or down a category without restarting the process.
• Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, AC and non-AC, the core vehicle for this route
• Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, for groups that outgrow a tempo traveller
• Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches for large movements
• Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van
• Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, Fortuner and Commuter through Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost
Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats, which is why we plan the Kanakagiri run as a daytime drive with a hotel halt at Hosapete or Gangavathi rather than as an overnight journey. On a 400 kilometre route it makes for a better trip and a safer one.
We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so there are no surprises at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking.
• Base fare and fuel charges
• Driver allowance
• Toll charges and parking fees
• Inter-state tax, where a trip extends beyond Karnataka
• Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM
• GST as applicable
• Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage
One point in your favour on this particular route: Bangalore to Kanakagiri stays entirely within Karnataka, so no inter-state permit or border tax applies. That only enters the picture if you extend the trip into Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra or Goa from the north Karnataka leg, and we will show it as a separate line if you do.
The garage-to-garage basis is standard across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup point and ends when it returns. We factor this into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.
Every service below runs from both our Bangalore and Mysore bases, so a group can start a trip in one city and finish in the other without changing operators.

I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

The bangalore to kanakagiri distance by road is approximately 400 kilometres, running up NH48 through Tumakuru, Sira, Hiriyur and Chitradurga, then north on NH50 through Kudligi to Hosapete, and finally through Gangavathi. That works out to 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours 30 minutes of driving, not counting halts. With a 5:00 AM departure and a proper lunch stop at Chitradurga, most groups reach Kanakagiri in the early afternoon with the rest of the day free for the temple.
Pricing starts from around Rs 22 per kilometre for a 12 seater AC tempo traveller and varies with seating capacity, AC or non-AC configuration, and how many days the vehicle stays with you. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Charged separately at actuals are toll and parking, inter-state tax where the trip crosses a state border, additional driver bata after 9:45 PM, and GST. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every charge appears as a line item in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific tempo traveller variant on your travel date. The advance must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card. A receipt is issued within 30 minutes and the balance is settled at trip end after deducting the advance.
No. The entire route from Bangalore to Kanakagiri stays inside Karnataka, so there is no border crossing, no inter-state tax and no permit formality, which is one reason this corridor is simpler to price than a Tamil Nadu or Kerala run. Inter-state tax only enters the quote if you extend the itinerary into Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra or Goa, and it is shown separately if you do.
Stay overnight. Four hundred kilometres each way makes a same-day return a sixteen-hour day in the vehicle with barely an hour at the temple, which defeats the purpose. Most groups leave Bangalore early, reach Kanakagiri in the afternoon, sleep at Hosapete or Gangavathi, and spend the second day on Hampi, Anegundi and Anjanadri Hill before returning on day three. Two nights is the comfortable minimum; three lets you add Koppal, Kinnal and the Tungabhadra Dam without rushing.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route we plan a daytime drive with a hotel halt at Hosapete or Gangavathi rather than continuous overnight driving, which is both more comfortable and safer. We can suggest halt options when you share your itinerary.
Our fleet covers 8 to 18 seater configurations in AC and non-AC, including 9, 12, 14, 17 and 18 seater layouts, and a 17 seater tempo traveller bangalore is the most commonly booked size on this route. Below eight passengers, an Innova or Innova Crysta usually works out cheaper. Above eighteen, we move you to a 12 to 24 seater mini bus, and above twenty-four to a 27 to 50 seater bus including Volvo and Benz coaches. Tell us your headcount and luggage volume at enquiry stage and we will recommend the right size.
Yes, and this is how most groups book it. The same vehicle and driver stay with you throughout, covering the Kanakachalapathi temple, the royal bath, Hemagudda fort, Hampi, Anegundi, Anjanadri Hill, the Tungabhadra Dam, Koppal and Kinnal. Multi-day bookings are billed on total kilometres and hours with a per-day minimum plus driver allowance. Share your day-wise itinerary when you enquire and we quote the whole trip as one number rather than leg by leg.
October to February is the comfortable season across north Karnataka; April and May are genuinely hot and make sightseeing at Hampi difficult by mid-morning. The Kanakachalapathi temple is generally open in the morning and again from mid-afternoon into the evening, with a midday closure, so we plan arrival around those windows. The annual Phalguna fair, usually in February or March, is spectacular but crowded — if your group wants it, book the vehicle six to eight weeks ahead, because accommodation in Gangavathi and Hosapete fills early.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 percent of the total fare, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, and between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent. Multi-day outstation trips to Kanakagiri and Hampi need a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund.
