Top Rated Bus & Car Rental Services
Kudremukh Peak Trek
The kudremukh trek starts near Mullodi village and covers roughly 20 to 22 kilometres up and down, through shola forest, open grassland and several stream crossings. It is rated moderate and takes most groups seven to nine hours. Permits must be booked online in advance on the Aranya Vihaara portal, a registered local guide is compulsory, daily numbers are capped and camping inside the park is not allowed. Slots for weekends fill quickly, so book yours before you book the cab.
Kudremukh National Park
Kudremukh national park protects one of the largest stretches of tropical wet evergreen forest in the Western Ghats. It is home to the lion-tailed macaque, tigers, leopards, gaur and a rich variety of birds. Gangamoola, within the park, is traditionally regarded as the source of the Tunga, Bhadra and Netravati rivers, although access to it is restricted.
Hanuman Gundi Falls
Also known as Suthanabbe Falls, hanuman gundi falls lies on the road from Kudremukh toward Karkala. A flight of steps leads down to the falls, which tumble over a series of rocks into a natural pool. The flow is best from August to December. Timings and entry are managed by the forest department.
Kadambi Falls
Kadambi Falls sits right beside the road near Kudremukh, making it an easy stop for families and elders who cannot manage long walks. It is at its most impressive during and just after the monsoon.
Lakya Dam
Lakya Dam was built by the Kudremukh Iron Ore Company to hold mining tailings, and the reservoir is now framed by green hills. The mining township nearby has been largely quiet since operations stopped in the mid-2000s, which gives the area an interesting, slightly haunting history. Entry to the dam area may be restricted, so view it from permitted points.
Kurinjal and Netravati Peak Treks
For trekkers who want something different, Kurinjal Peak offers a shorter climb with sweeping grassland views, while Netravati Peak, approached from the Samse side, is known for its dramatic ridgeline. Both are inside the national park and need online permits and guides, just like the main peak. Together they rank among the best treks near bangalore for a weekend.
Horanadu Annapoorneshwari Temple
Around 10 kilometres from Kalasa, Horanadu is home to the Annapoorneshwari temple on the banks of the Bhadra. The golden idol of the goddess draws pilgrims from across South India, and free meals are served to every visitor. Many families book a bangalore to horanadu cab and add Kudremukh sightseeing to the same trip.
Sringeri Sharada Peetham
About 50 kilometres away on the Tunga river, Sringeri is the site of the first matha established by Adi Shankaracharya. The Sharada temple and the Vidyashankara temple, with its zodiac pillars, make it one of the most important pilgrim centres in Karnataka. Sringeri is also a convenient route for the return journey.
Ballalarayanadurga Fort
Near Kottigehara, the ruins of this old Hoysala-era hill fort sit on a grassy ridge with wide views over the Western Ghats. The walk to the fort is popular with trekkers. It too falls under forest regulation, so check the permit requirement before you go. It is an excellent add-on to the list of kudremukh tourist places on the way in or out.

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 Shivagange Hill
The journey leaves the city on Tumkur Road and turns onto NH75 at Nelamangala. The conical Shivagange hill, a popular pilgrim and trekking spot, lies a short detour away. For night departures, traffic is usually light by this point, and the highway ahead is wide and well lit.
Gateway to Shravanabelagola
Channarayapatna is the nearest town to Shravanabelagola, where the monolithic statue of Gommateshwara stands atop Vindhyagiri hill. The town also has good vegetarian restaurants, making it a convenient meal halt.
Poor Man’s Ooty
Hassan is known for its pleasant climate and is the gateway to the Hoysala temples. The Hasanamba temple here is unusual in that it opens only for a short period once a year around Deepavali. Hassan has fuel stations, ATMs and 24-hour eateries, useful for night travellers.
Dakshina Varanasi and Hoysala Masterpiece
Belur, on the Yagachi river, is home to the Chennakeshava temple, part of the UNESCO-listed Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas. Its carved bracket figures are among the finest in India. Halebidu, the twin Hoysala site, is 16 kilometres away and is a great add-on on the way back.
Crossroads to the Charmadi Ghat
Kottigehara is the junction where the main road heads down the Charmadi Ghat toward Dharmasthala and Mangaluru, while the Kalasa road branches off to the right. Ballalarayanadurga Fort is nearby. The road narrows and winds through forest and estates from this point.
The Horse Face Peak of the Western Ghats
The final stretch passes the Kudremukh forest entrance, where jeeps wait to take trekkers to the Mullodi base. The grasslands open up dramatically as the road climbs, and on a clear day the peak itself comes into view. Your driver will drop you at the jeep point, your homestay or a viewpoint, and wait as planned.

Easy Booking Options
Simple reservations for regional and outstation trips.
The bangalore to kudremukh distance is approximately 320 to 340 kilometres via Kunigal, Hassan, Belur, Mudigere and Kalasa. A bus takes 8 to 9 hours including breaks and the winding Malnad roads.
Pricing starts from around Rs 45 per kilometre for a 29 seater bus, with mini buses quoted separately, and varies with seating capacity and configuration. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM, driver night halt charges and GST are extra, and the final rental is calculated garage to garage on total kilometres and hours. You receive an itemised written quote within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific vehicle on your date. It must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes. For large bookings above Rs 50,000, a higher advance may be required.
Yes. The Kudremukh and Netravati treks are inside a national park and require forest department permits, which are issued in limited numbers per day, and guides are mandatory. Treks may be closed during the peak monsoon or for other reasons. As kudremukh trek booking rules and slots are set by the forest department and change, please book permits through the official channel before confirming your travel dates.
The roads beyond Kottigehara and into the national park are narrow and winding, so we recommend mini buses or 27 to 41 seater buses. For groups larger than 40, two smaller buses are usually more practical than one full-size coach. We will advise on the best option when you share your group size.
Yes. The trek is a full-day effort of around 20 kilometres and is best started at dawn. Most groups leave Bangalore on the previous day or evening, stay near Kudremukh or Kalasa, trek the next day and return the following day. The bus and driver stay with the group throughout.
Yes. Horanadu is about 8 kilometres from Kalasa and Sringeri about 50 kilometres from Kudremukh, so both fit easily into a two or three day itinerary. Share your plan at enquiry and it will be included in your written quote.
September to February is ideal, with green grasslands, cool weather and clear views. The monsoon brings heavy rain, leeches and possible trek closures. March to May is warmer and the grass turns golden, but views can be hazy.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services; all our buses are seated configuration with push-back seats. We also do not provide passenger insurance cover, so trekkers are advised to arrange their own travel and adventure insurance. All vehicles carry valid vehicle insurance and full statutory compliance.
Cancelling more than 7 days before departure carries no charge, with the full advance refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 4 and 7 days the charge is 10 percent of the total fare, between 48 hours and 4 days 25 percent, between 24 and 48 hours 50 percent, and under 24 hours 75 percent. If the forest department closes the trek, date changes with more than 24 hours notice can be accommodated subject to availability.
