Sri Kotilingeshwara Temple
The main attraction, spread across a large campus. The giant linga and the seated Nandi are visible from a distance, and the rows of small lingas around them are each installed by a devotee, often to mark a vow or a family event. Inside the complex are around eleven shrines to other deities, including Brahma, Vishnu, Annapoorneshwari, Panduranga, Rama with Sita and Lakshmana, Panchamukha Ganapathi and Anjaneya. Maha Shivaratri draws the biggest crowds of the year, so plan a kotilingeshwara shivaratri visit well ahead and check the kotilingeshwara temple timings before leaving.

Kolaramma Temple, Kolar
An ancient granite temple in the heart of Kolar, dedicated to the goddess Kolaramma, the guardian deity of the town. The temple shows strong Chola-period influence and holds a shrine to Chelamma, a scorpion goddess believed to protect devotees from scorpion stings. It is a quiet, cool stop and an important part of any Kolar pilgrimage.
Someshwara Temple, Kolar
A short walk from Kolaramma, this Vijayanagara-era temple is known for its tall gopuram, carved pillars and a beautiful kalyana mandapa with detailed stonework. Architecture lovers often find it the most rewarding stop in town, and it is rarely crowded.
Antaragange
Just outside Kolar, Antaragange is a hill of giant boulders with a small temple where spring water flows continuously from the mouth of a stone Nandi. Nobody quite agrees where the water comes from, which adds to the charm. The rocky hill above has caves and short trails that are popular with young visitors and weekend trekkers. Carry water and avoid the midday heat.
Kurudumale Ganapathi Temple
Near Mulbagal, Kurudumale is home to a tall monolithic Ganesha, around 13 feet high, which draws a steady stream of devotees who begin new ventures here. The village also has an old Someshwara temple with fine carvings. Families often pair it with Avani on a kolar kurudumale avani kotilingeshwara trip.
Avani
A hill village linked in local tradition to the sage Valmiki and the story of Lava and Kusha. The Ramalingeshwara group of temples at the foot of the hill is a protected monument with old shrines and carved pillars. It is peaceful, green after the rains and a good place for a slow half hour.
Bangaru Tirupathi
A hilltop temple to Lord Venkateshwara near Bangarpet, visited by devotees who cannot make the journey to Tirumala. The climb is short, the views over the Kolar plains are pleasant, and the temple is close enough to Kotilingeshwara to fit into the same morning.
Kolar Gold Fields
A short drive from the temple, KGF was once among the deepest and most famous gold mining areas in the world. British-era bungalows, churches, clubs and wide roads earned it the name Little England. The mines closed in 2001, but the old headframes and colonial buildings still make it an interesting heritage detour, and it is a regular bangalore to kgf cab booking for history lovers.

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 the famous Hoskote Dum Biryani
Once past Budigere Cross, the road opens up into the NH75 corridor. Hoskote is where Tejas Tours and Travels has its head office, which means our cars and drivers start their day right on your route. The town is best known across Bangalore for its early-morning dum biryani, which regulars eat as breakfast. The large Hoskote lake sits beside the town and fills beautifully after a good monsoon. Elapsed time: about 1 hour.
Gateway to Chikka Tirupathi
After Hoskote the car turns off towards Malur, leaving the heavy highway traffic behind. The road passes farmland, eucalyptus groves and small villages growing vegetables and flowers for the Bangalore markets. Malur is a growing industrial town and the turn for Chikka Tirupathi, which many families save for the return drive. A quick tea stop here keeps the group fresh. Elapsed time: about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Boulder Hills of the Kolar Plateau
The landscape changes near Tekal, with rounded granite hills and huge balanced boulders rising beside the road. These rocky hills are part of the ancient plateau that runs across Kolar district, and they glow a warm brown in the morning light. Marigold and vegetable fields fill the valleys between them, making this one of the prettiest stretches for photos. Elapsed time: about 1 hour 50 minutes.
Golden Junction and home of the famous Bangarpet Chaat.
Bangarpet takes its name from gold, a reminder of the mining town next door. It is a busy railway junction on the Bangalore to Chennai line and the nearest main station for Kotilingeshwara. Bangalore food lovers know the town for its tangy chaat, so this is the place to snack on the way back. Kolar Gold Fields lies a short drive to the east for those adding the heritage detour. Elapsed time: about 2 hours 15 minutes.
Village of a Crore Lingas
The final stretch towards Bethamangala runs through quiet villages until the giant linga appears above the treeline. Bethamangala reservoir, which once supplied water to the KGF township, lies a little further along the same road. Your driver will drop you near the temple entrance and wait in the parking area while you complete darshan. Elapsed time: about 2 hours 30 minutes.
For Bangalore companies organising employee pilgrimages or short team outings. 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. Multiple vehicles can be arranged for larger groups.
Our most popular option, planned as a relaxed day covering Kotilingeshwara, Kolaramma and Someshwara temples, with an optional stop at Antaragange. The Urbania's recliners and easy entry suit elderly family members, and the driver waits patiently at each temple. Families installing a linga at Kotilingeshwara can plan extra time for the ceremony.
For devotees 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 Avani, KGF or a resort lunch. It suits VIP devotees, senior executives and special family occasions.
For devotees who want to visit several temples in one trip, this package links Kotilingeshwara with Kolaramma, Someshwara, Avani and, on a longer day, Kaivara or Nandi Hills. Our force urbania hire drivers plan the route to fit temple timings and reduce backtracking.

Easy Booking Options
Simple reservations for regional and outstation trips.
The bangalore to kotilingeshwara distance is approximately 95 kilometres via Old Madras Road, Hoskote, Narsapura and Kolar. The drive takes about 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes, depending mainly on traffic around KR Puram. A round trip returning via Bangarapet and Malur is about 200 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. Maha Shivaratri, Mondays in the month of Karthika and weekends 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.
The temple is generally open from early morning until evening, with the busiest hours in the late morning and on weekends. Timings can change on festival days, especially Maha Shivaratri, when the temple stays open for extended hours. We recommend checking the latest timings before your visit.
Yes. Devotees can install a linga in the temple complex as an offering or fulfilment of a vow by booking through the temple office. Charges and procedures are set by the temple and may change, so please check directly with them. We can plan extra time in the itinerary for the ceremony.
Yes. A typical day includes Kotilingeshwara, the Kolaramma and Someshwara temples in Kolar and, if time allows, Antaragange hill. With an early start, Avani can also be added. Returning to Bangalore by evening is comfortable.
The temple can be visited throughout the year. October to February offers the most comfortable weather for walking around the large complex. Maha Shivaratri is the most spectacular time, but also the most crowded, so plan an early start and be prepared for long queues.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles have seated configurations, and for a short trip like this 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.
