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.










Built for the kudremukh trek from bangalore. Overnight departure, drop at the jeep point before the checkpost cut-off, a rested driver waiting for your return, and a comfortable drive home the same evening or the next morning. An Innova Crysta or innova hycross rent bangalore is ideal for groups of five to seven with gear.
A relaxed two- or three-night plan combining Kudremukh viewpoints and waterfalls with Horanadu, Sringeri, Belur and Halebidu. Drivers plan the day around temple timings and keep the ghat roads comfortable for elders and children.
For team outings and offsites at Malnad estate resorts. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval, and professional drivers who stay with the group. Our corporate travels bangalore team handles the arrangement end to end.
A clean AC sedan, a verified driver and a straightforward plan for up to four travellers. It is the most economical way to enjoy one of the best weekend getaways from bangalore without compromising on safety.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers who want personal cover, which is strongly advisable for trekking, should arrange their own travel insurance. All vehicles carry valid vehicle insurance and full statutory compliance.

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. |

Kudremukh is approximately 330 kilometres from Bangalore via Hassan, Belur, Mudigere, Kottigehara and Kalasa. The drive takes 7 to 8 hours including a meal halt. The last 60 kilometres are narrow ghat and estate roads, so the pace is slower there.
Fares start from around Rs 6,602 for an AC sedan and vary with the vehicle and the number of days. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll and parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, and final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. It must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes. The balance is paid at the end of the trip.
No. Permits are booked online by trekkers themselves on the Karnataka Forest Department Aranya Vihaara portal, using their own government ID. Walk-in permits are not issued, a registered guide is mandatory, and permit refunds and date changes are limited. We recommend securing your permits first and then confirming the cab.
Most trekkers leave between 10:30 PM and 11:30 PM the night before, so they reach Kalasa by early morning and the checkpost well before its cut-off. Driver bata after 9:45 PM applies to these departures and is shown in your quote.
Yes. The driver drops you at the jeep point for the Mullodi base and waits, resting while you are on the trail. Multi-day trips are billed on total kilometres and hours with a per-day minimum plus driver allowance.
No. Bangalore and Kudremukh are both in Karnataka, so no interstate tax applies. If you extend the trip into another state, the relevant tax is billed at actuals.
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.
