Family pickup
For a family visit, a function or a college event in Kuppam, the tempo traveller collects everyone at 7 am, from up to two homes in the east of the city. Big bags go behind the last row and the elders sit up front. The van leaves on Old Madras Road and turns for Malur at Hoskote. Kuppam is 125 km away; with breakfast on the way the drive takes about three hours, so the group arrives by mid morning.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the family is at Hoskote, 30 km from the city. A roadside hotel with its own parking gets idli and dosa out fast, and those who like it can order the mutton dum biryani Hoskote is famous for. Allow 25 minutes. On Sunday mornings the biryani crowd parks along the road, so the driver avoids that stretch. From here the van takes the road towards Malur. Count heads before the van moves on.

Through Malur
Malur, at 50 km, is passed without stopping. It is a taluk headquarters of Kolar district, about 30 km from Kolar town, sitting on the road from Hoskote towards Bangarpet, KGF and Kuppam. The road here is two lane with some village traffic, so the pace is steady rather than quick. Children who are restless can watch for the next town; Bangarpet is 30 km on. Elders can doze here; the next stop is a short way off.

Junction town
Bangarpet, 80 km out, is a railway junction and a rice trading town, called Bowringpet in the old days. The van usually drives through in the morning, but on the return the family may want the pani puri Bangarpet is famous for, with a clear and very spicy pani. Members arriving by train can join at the station here. The town is linked to Kolar by State Highway 5. Kuppam is now about 45 km ahead.

Gold fields
The tempo traveller passes through KGF, the gold mining township at 95 km, run from Robertsonpet. The grey hills of mine waste along the road are the most visible trace of the mines, which closed in 2001. Children usually ask about them, so it is a good story for the last stretch. After KGF the road enters Andhra Pradesh. About 30 km of farmland remain to Kuppam. Ask the children to keep their shoes on now, as the arrival is close.

Venue drop
The van drops the family at the house, hall or campus gate in Kuppam, a town of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh. Kuppam sits where Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu meet, so it draws people from three states. Granite quarrying is the big local industry. Meals are simple Andhra food at small hotels. The Kaundinya Wildlife Sanctuary, home to wild elephants, lies between Kuppam and Palamaner, if the family has time for a drive.
Is a family of 9 to 20 going to Kuppam for the Gangamma jatara, a hospital visit or a function? A single van and driver, 125 km each way: that is the Bangalore to Kuppam tempo traveller. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

Yes. It is near KGF, on the road back to Bangalore. Add about an hour.
Yes. About 250 km there and back, inside the 300 km day. Leave by 7 am and you are back by evening.
Yes, it is open all year. The best months are November to February. April and May are hot, so start early. From June to October rain is common; the old road through the towns gets slow in heavy rain, and the Chennai expressway from Bethamangala to Hoskote is a quicker way home then.
Yes. The road from Kuppam through KGF and Bangarpet is quiet at night, and the driver knows it. Tell us when the function or visit ends, so the driver rests in the afternoon. With children, plan one tea halt on the way back.
