Pickup at your door
The van picks the family up at 5:00 am; two pickups in the same area are fine. Leaving Bangalore, Tumkur Road runs over the elevated Peenya flyover and then the six lane toll road to Nelamangala, where the first plaza is, so an early start keeps that first hour quick. Share the pickup pin with the driver the night before. Mumbai is about 985 km away, and day one ends at Kolhapur. Breakfast is at Tumakuru, about 70 km out.

Family breakfast
Breakfast is at Tumakuru, and a family of twelve gets a table together quickly at a highway hotel. Thatte idli, the soft plate idli of this district, suits children at the start of a long day. For a weekend outing another time, Siddara Betta, a hill with caves linked to a saint, is about 22 km from the city. Tumakuru (Tumkur) has fuel and clean washrooms. From here it is about 130 km to Chitradurga.

Tea and stretch
At Chitradurga, 200 km from home, the van stops so the children can run about while the adults drink tea. The hill fort above town has 18 old temples in its upper part, with the Hidimbeshwara counted as the oldest, a great climb for older children on some other trip. This is dry country with only about 576 mm of rain a year, so caps and water bottles are useful. Davangere is about 65 km further along.

Snack halt
Davangere, at about 265 km, is an optional snack halt for the family. The city's benne dose, buttery and soft in the middle, has a story that starts in 1927 with a cook called Chennamma and her small eatery. Most children happily finish a plate. If they need to burn off energy, Kunduvada lake on the edge of the city has a short walking path. After the snack, Haveri lies roughly 70 km ahead.

Drive through
The van rolls through Haveri, about 335 km out, without stopping. For the return, children may enjoy the Utsav Rock Garden at Gotagodi, right beside NH48 in Shiggaon taluk, with its sculptures of village life. Haveri is known for cardamom garlands and for Byadagi chillies grown for colour. A temple loving family might also plan a later visit to the Galageshwara temple at Galaganath, about 30 km away. Hubballi is roughly 70 km on.

Lunch on the road
The family has lunch at Hubballi, roughly 405 km out. Ordering together keeps the halt to 45 minutes. Jolada rotti meals are the regional plate, while children usually prefer girmit, a lightly spiced puffed rice snack. Pick up a box of Dharwad pedha for the road. On the drive home, Unkal Lake at the edge of the city makes a calm evening stop. From Hubballi, Belagavi is about 95 km and Kolhapur about 210 km.

Quick tea
Belagavi, about 500 km out, is a tea and washroom halt for the van. The city sits in the Western Ghats foothills and has the coldest winters in Karnataka, so keep sweaters handy for the children as evening comes. Try kunda, a rich milk sweet, with the tea. On the return morning, a Belgaum breakfast of poori bhaji or sabudana khichadi is worth the stop. The Maharashtra border is close, and Kolhapur lies around 115 km ahead.

Sleep here
Day one ends at Kolhapur, about 615 km out. A night here keeps the children fresh for day two. Kolhapuri food is hot, and misal here is called the spiciest, so ask for milder dishes for the little ones; tambda rassa is the famous red mutton curry. Rankala lake is a pleasant evening walk, and the Mahalakshmi temple, Ambabai, is about 5 km off the road. Stay near the highway side of town to save time in the morning.

Drive on
Satara, around 745 km from home, comes on the morning of day two. Children may enjoy hearing that the name means seven forts, for the forts on the hills around it, and that Shivaji captured Satara fort in 1673. Sajjangad, at Parali, is nearby for a family with time on the return. The Krishna and Venna rivers meet close to town. The van keeps going on NH48, and Pune is about 100 km ahead.

Snack stop
The van halts at Pune, about 840 km out, for snacks. Puneri misal, made with poha, and vada pav are the local favourites, and children will want this stop on the way back too. Pune's Shaniwar Wada and the Pataleshwar caves are in the city, but the van keeps to the bypass. The Kasba Ganapati temple is the city's presiding deity. After Pune the road climbs to Lonavala, about 65 km on.

Chikki town
Lonavala, about 910 km out, is a hill station of about 622 m with Khandala next door, roughly 64 km from Pune and 96 km from Mumbai. The town is famous for chikki, the crunchy nut and jaggery sweet, so a quick halt for a box keeps children happy for the last stretch. Lonavala is also a stop on the Mumbai to Pune railway line. From here the road winds down the ghat past Khopoli.

Arrival and drop
The van reaches Mumbai after about 19.5 hours of driving, spread over two days. Share the exact address ahead of time, and the driver will choose the shortest entry and try to avoid the office rush. Mumbai's seven islands were joined by land reclamation finished in 1845, which is why so many roads run along the sea. Vada pav and pav bhaji make an easy first dinner for the family. The van parks near your stay.
Travelling to Mumbai with 9 to 20 people, maybe for a wedding or a family function? A Bangalore to Mumbai tempo traveller keeps the whole group and the luggage in one van for the two day drive up NH48. Hire a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore from Tejas Tours & Travels and we plan the night halt with you.

One way trips run ₹2 a km higher; the quote comes with your date. Fuel and the driver are included. Add the driver allowance of ₹500 to ₹700 a day. Tolls, the Maharashtra permit, parking and GST are paid at actual. Both AC and non-AC tempo travellers can be booked; whichever you take sets the rate.

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹500 to ₹700 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 20, 7 days in the 20 Seater Tempo Traveller is about ₹3,820 a person.
Most families of 10 to 12 take the 12 seater tempo traveller. A group of 15 or 16 fits the 17 seater tempo traveller with room for bags, and 20 people need the 20 seater tempo traveller.
Elders who want a quieter ride can take the Bangalore to Mumbai Force Urbania. Four to seven people? The Bangalore to Mumbai cab is enough. Going via Goa instead? See the Bangalore to Goa cab.

About 985 km from Bangalore to Mumbai by NH48, through Chitradurga, Hubballi, Belagavi, Kolhapur and Pune, then the expressway past Lonavala; the round trip is about 1,970 km. A tempo traveller takes about 19.5 hours of driving with stops, split over two days with a night at Kolhapur.
₹50,400 for the 12 seater tempo traveller (7 days, 2,100 km at ₹24/km). On top: ₹3,500 allowance, then tolls, the Maharashtra permit, parking and GST at cost.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km more, and the empty return is counted in the quote. You get it in writing first.
Fourteen people fit the 14 or 16 seater. Compare sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. The van takes the expressway from Pune and pays the toll there; tolls come at actual on your bill.
Flying is faster. By road the group stays together, carries as much luggage as it likes and can stop at Kolhapur and Pune. Families with lots of bags often pick the road.
It is the slowest time. From June to September Belagavi has almost steady rain, and Lonavala gets very heavy rain in July and August, so the ghat into Mumbai is misty and slow. The van has to keep a gentle pace and the day gets longer. October to February is drier and easier, especially with children.
Plan small breaks and early nights. We halt every two to three hours, at Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Hubballi and Belagavi on day one, then Satara, Pune and Lonavala on day two. Let children nap after lunch, keep snacks and water within reach, and pick a Kolhapur hotel near the highway so everyone sleeps early.
