One pickup point
Your mini bus comes by 6:00 am to one pickup point, two at most, because each extra stop costs a group of twenty time in city traffic. If some members arrive by train, Kempegowda Bus Station at Majestic is opposite KSR City railway station and has a metro stop, but private buses get very little time to stop there, so the group should meet at a roomy gate instead. Mumbai is about 985 km away. Breakfast is at Tumakuru.

Group breakfast
Breakfast for the group is at Tumakuru, 70 km from the start, at a highway hotel with space to park the mini bus. When the driver phones ahead, thatte idli for twenty arrives almost at once. Keep 35 minutes and finish with a head count. For a future weekend, Shivagange hill, about 25 km back towards Bangalore by Dobbaspet, makes a good group climb. Tumakuru (Tumkur) stands at about 800 m, so mornings are cool. Chitradurga is about 130 km on.

Tea and head count
Chitradurga, 200 km out, gives the group tea and washrooms. For a college group with time on the return, the fort has gunpowder grinding stones, granary and oil tanks, a gymnasium and a 40 ft swing stand, and the mini bus can park near Gate 3. Fort tickets are bought by scanning a QR code at the gate. Keep 20 minutes today, with a head count. Davangere is about 65 km on.

Drive on
To save time on a very long day, the mini bus drives through Davangere, about 265 km out. The city once ran cotton mills that earned it the name Manchester of Karnataka, and it is also the home of benne dose, a rich butter dosa. If the group is hungry, ask the driver for a short halt. Davangere is now the seventh largest city in Karnataka, so traffic slows near the centre. Haveri is about 70 km on.

Drive on
Haveri, around 335 km from Bangalore, is a drive through for the group. The district's Byadgi market has traded dry chilli since 1948 and is often called the biggest in Asia; between January and April chilli lorries crowd the side roads, though the mini bus stays on the national highway. Heritage groups might plan another trip to Hangal, about 40 km from Haveri, for the Tarakeshwara temple. Hubballi, the lunch halt, is about 70 km ahead.

Lunch for the group
The group eats lunch at Hubballi, about 405 km out. The driver phones the hotel so twenty plates of jolada rotti meals or rice meals arrive together; allow 45 minutes in all. Hubballi is a railway division headquarters, which helps if any member must leave early by train. Pick up boxes of Dharwad pedha here, as the night halt comes next. Belagavi, where the group sleeps, is roughly 95 km further on NH48.

Night halt
Day one ends at Belagavi, roughly 500 km out, a usual night stop for groups driving to Mumbai. We book one lodge for all twenty, with room to park the mini bus. The city lies in the foothills of the Western Ghats, and its winters are the coldest in Karnataka, so sweaters help. For dinner, try jolada rotti with jhunka; next morning, poori bhaji or uppit. About 485 km remain for day two.

Tea halt
Kolhapur, about 615 km from Bangalore, gives the group fifteen minutes for tea, restrooms and fuel. Pilgrims know the city for its Mahalakshmi temple, Ambabai, and shoppers for Kolhapuri chappals, leather sandals hand braided and tanned with vegetable dyes. The local misal is famously hot, a snack for the brave. From Kolhapur, NH48 runs by Karad and Satara to Pune, roughly 230 km, so a head count before leaving matters.

Drive on
The mini bus drives through Satara, about 745 km out. Students may like that the town is named after the seven forts around it, and that Shivaji took Satara fort in 1673; Sajjangad at Parali is nearby. The Krishna and Venna rivers meet near the town. Pune, the lunch halt, is about 100 km on. On the way home, Satara is also a good point for a fuel top up before the long Karnataka stretch.

Lunch
Lunch on day two is at Pune, around 840 km from Bangalore. The driver books one hall where all twenty sit together, with the mini bus at the door. For lighter eaters, Puneri misal made with poha and vada pav are quick options. The Kasba Ganapati temple is the city's presiding deity, and the name changed from Poona in 1978. Keep 45 minutes and count heads. About 145 km remain to Mumbai.

Ghat top
At Lonavala, roughly 910 km out, the mini bus tops the ghat at about 622 m. The town's chikki, a crunchy nut and jaggery sweet, is the gift most groups buy, usually on the way back. The mini bus follows the expressway through Lonavala and then descends past Khopoli towards Navi Mumbai. During July and August heavy rain and fog cover the ghat, and the driver keeps the speed low on the descent.

Drop at the hotel
Including all halts, the mini bus takes about 22 hours of driving over two days. Send the hotel or hall address and pin early, so the driver can plan the city entry outside the office rush. He drops the group at the door and waits nearby. The final stretch comes down from the ghat into Navi Mumbai and then the city. Vada pav and pav bhaji make a quick meal for a hungry group.
Taking 14 to 25 relatives to a wedding in Mumbai, or moving a team by road? A group of twenty and their bags fit one Bangalore to Mumbai mini bus over 985 km. Hire mini bus on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

Mumbai is about 985 km from Bangalore by NH48, through Chitradurga, Hubballi, Belagavi, Kolhapur and Pune, then the expressway past Lonavala, about 1,970 km for the round trip. A mini bus takes about 22 hours of driving with stops, over two days with a night at Belagavi, about 500 km out.
For 7 days, 2,100 km at ₹34/km, it is ₹71,400, plus ₹4,900 for the driver. Tolls, permits and GST go on at cost.
Yes, on request. One way is ₹2 a km above the round trip rate; the run back is counted in the quote we send.
The 25 seater, so everyone sits and the bags fit. Every size is on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
At Belagavi, about 500 km out. That keeps day one near 11 hours; day two runs by Kolhapur and Pune.
Yes, from Pune. Tolls are paid at actual. Mumbai traffic is heavy, so we try to enter early in the morning or late at night.
October to February. From June to September Belagavi has almost steady rain, and the Lonavala ghat gets very heavy rain in July and August, which slows a mini bus on the descent. March to May is hot on the Karnataka highway stretch. In the dry season the two day drive runs to plan.
For a week, one medium suitcase and one small hand bag each. The suitcases go in the luggage space at the back, and the hand bags stay at the seats with water, snacks and medicines. Because there is a night halt, pack one small overnight bag per person so the big bags stay locked in the mini bus.
