Kaup Beach
Kaup beach is the reason most visitors make the trip. Unlike the busier Malpe, it stays calm and uncrowded for most of the year, with a wide stretch of golden sand broken by dark rock formations that make it one of the most photographed beaches in coastal Karnataka. Evenings are the best time, when the sun drops straight into the Arabian Sea. Swimming is not advisable during the monsoon, and lifeguard flags should be respected at all times.

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.

Gateway to Shravanabelagola
Channarayapatna is the "Gateway to Shravanabelagola", which lies just 12 kilometres to the south. Shravanabelagola is home to the 57 foot monolithic statue of Gommateshwara (Bahubali), carved around 981 CE and one of the most revered Jain sites in the world. The climb up Vindhyagiri hill takes about 45 minutes and must be done barefoot, so plan for an early visit before the rock heats up. If you add this detour, allow two to three extra hours. Elapsed time without detour: about 2 hours 50 minutes.

Gateway to Hoysala Heritage
Hassan is the "Gateway to Hoysala Heritage". The twelfth century temples of Belur (38 km) and Halebidu (31 km), famous for their incredibly detailed soapstone carvings, are both within reach and were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023 as the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas. The town itself is named after Hasanamba, whose temple opens only once a year during Deepavali, drawing huge crowds. Hassan has the best choice of restaurants on the route, and most drivers suggest a proper breakfast or early lunch here. Groups on an udupi tour package from bangalore often include Belur and Halebidu on the return journey. Elapsed time: about 3 hours 30 minutes.

Coffee and Spice Country of the Malnad
The land starts to rise and turn green as you enter the Malnad region. Sakleshpur is the "Coffee and Spice Country of the Malnad", surrounded by coffee, cardamom and pepper estates, with misty hills for much of the year. Just off the highway stands Manjarabad Fort, a star-shaped fort built by Tipu Sultan in 1792 on a hilltop, offering sweeping views of the Western Ghats. The fort takes about 45 minutes to explore. Sakleshpur is also the last major town before the ghat, so this is the right place to refuel, use restrooms and pick up snacks. Elapsed time: about 4 hours 30 minutes including a halt.

Gateway of Karnataka
Mangalore is the "Gateway of Karnataka", the state's main port city, and the "Cradle of Indian Banking", since several major banks were founded in this region. Travellers booking a bangalore to mangalore cab usually stop here, but for Kaup your driver will take the NH66 bypass to avoid city traffic. It is well worth a lunch halt though. Try a Mangalorean fish thali, chicken ghee roast or neer dosa, and finish with a gadbad ice cream. Elapsed time: about 8 hours including lunch.

Lighthouse Town of the Udupi Coast
The final leg runs north along NH66 with the sea close by on the left. Surathkal has a quiet beach and lighthouse beside the NITK campus. Mulki is the "Surfing Capital of Karnataka", with surf schools at Sasihithlu beach, and home to the Bappanadu Durgaparameshwari Temple, famous for its ceremonial drums. Padubidri, the "Blue Flag Beach Town", follows soon after. Finally you reach Kaup, the "Lighthouse Town of the Udupi Coast", where the white tower becomes visible above the palms. Your driver will take you straight to your stay, or to the beach if you want to catch the sunset. Elapsed time: about 9 hours.

Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | 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 KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | 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/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything 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. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | 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 Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |

Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and final billing is on total kilometres and hours from garage to garage.

No. Bangalore and Kaup are both in Karnataka, so no interstate tax applies on the direct route. It is charged only if your itinerary extends into another state, such as Kerala via Kasaragod.
The ghat stays open for most of the year, but heavy rain can cause slowdowns and occasional restrictions. Our drivers check road status before departure and use the Charmadi Ghat alternative when needed. Travelling in daylight is strongly advised between June and September.
Yes. Most travellers book a round trip, with the same car and driver covering Kaup Beach, the lighthouse, Pajaka, Udupi, Malpe and Manipal. Multi-day trips are billed on total kilometres and hours with a daily minimum and driver allowance.
A small advance of around 20 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
