Where the group boards
Fifty people at one gate by 5:30 am. A long day like this needs the bus out of the city before the traffic builds, so choose a spacious ground or campus, not the centre, where private buses get very little time to load. Pass on the plan to everyone: breakfast at Kanakapura, tea at Malavalli and Hanur. Tolls are paid per crossing, as tourist buses do not get the FASTag annual pass.
Breakfast with bus parking
Breakfast at Kanakapura, where the hotel has room for the bus to pull fully off the road. Forty minutes covers breakfast for fifty and a head count. Kanakapura is about 55 km from Bangalore, and the Somanahalli toll, open since May 2025, is paid before it. The Kaveri runs about 21 km through this taluk inside the sanctuary, and the bus follows the edge of that forest country south for the next two hours.
Head count and tea
Malavalli is the first tea halt for the coach, around 110 km into the trip. Coordinators should count heads before anyone climbs back in. The town sits about 24 km south of Maddur, and the Gaganachukki falls are about 18 km away beyond the Kaveri bridge, if the group wants them on the return. With fifty people, twenty minutes is the limit, or the halt drags on. Kollegal is the next town.
Stop for snacks
A short snack halt at Kollegal, about 140 km out, good for restrooms, meals and fuel. The town has room for a bus near the main road. Kollegal is a silk town, known as Silk City, and its pit loom sarees can be bought on the way back. From here SH 79 runs via Kamagere and Hanur to the hills, about 75 km of winding road. A full bus is slow on it, so the coordinator should tell the group to expect a long last leg.
Tea and counting heads
Tea halt at Hanur, about 165 km out. Tea and simple meals are available, and with a full bus we count heads again before the forest. Hanur is the taluk headquarters for MM Hills. Buses with more than six wheels may not use the road from Talabetta to Palar, towards Tamil Nadu, between 9 pm and 6 am, which matters only if the group goes on beyond MM Hills. The driver fuels the bus here.
Forest road, no stop
A few tea shops stand at Kowdalli, but a coach full of people does not stop here. The forest begins right after the village, and the climb to the hill passes through land where elephants roam, so the driver takes the bends in low gear. Festival weeks in March are the hardest: police stop two wheelers and autos at Kowdalli and the road fills with pilgrims. Plan to cross this stretch early in the morning on such days.
Drop and bus parking
A bus takes about five hours to MM Hills with the halts. It drops the group near the temple area and then moves to the bus parking, so give everyone one meeting point and time. Fifty people need rooms in several mutt and government guest houses, all booked well ahead. Food comes from small vegetarian eateries, so order group meals early. The whole hill is declared free of alcohol, and coordinators should remind the group of that before they get down.
Arranging Bangalore to MM Hills bus hire for a village or temple group of 45? A full bus can go up to MM Hills, and we plan the fuel and tea stop at Hanur. Ask Tejas Tours & Travels for a bus on rent in Bangalore. The bus picks up from one point in Bangalore where a big bus can stand. You may also see it written as Male Mahadeshwara Hills.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

Sharing a quick note of appreciation for the bus arranged through Tejes Travel for our team outing. The 40-seater bus was very comfortable, clean, and well maintained, which made the journey smooth and enjoyable for everyone. The driver was punctual, polite, and cooperative, and the overall coordination from the Tejes Travel team was very good.

MM Hills is about 210 km from Bangalore: NH948 through Kanakapura, Malavalli and Kollegal, then SH 79 through Hanur and Kowdalli. The round trip is about 420 km. A full bus takes about five hours each way, with breakfast and three short halts.
No, they are extra. Tolls, parking and GST are paid at actual. The 40 seater comes to ₹36,000: 600 km at ₹60/km over 2 days. Driver bata is ₹2,000.
Yes, when you ask. Since the bus returns empty, the one way fare includes that run. We confirm it in writing for your date.
A 49 or 50 seater leaves a few seats free. The full list of sizes is on bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes, a late run adds a night charge. We write it into the quote. Keep stops where the driver can rest as well.
The last stretch after Kowdalli climbs through forest with bends. It is fine for all our vehicles; we just drive slow.
Only if the festival is the reason for the trip. On big festival days lakhs of pilgrims come, two wheelers and autos are stopped at Kowdalli, and rooms, parking and food are stretched. A group of fifty is easier to manage on a weekday. If you must go for the festival, book rooms months ahead and leave Bangalore very early.
We do not plan the forest climb at night. Elephants use the road after Kowdalli, and a night ban for heavy vehicles from 9 pm to 6 am already applies on the road from MM Hills towards Tamil Nadu. Leaving Bangalore at 5:30 am gets the group to the hill by mid morning in daylight.
