Narasimhaswamy Cave Temple
The bus stays outside; the group walks in. Big groups go early. Plan 45 minutes.
Kolli Hills View Points
Not for a big bus; switch to smaller vehicles here. Fix one return time for all. Give it half a day.
Agaya Gangai Falls
A full size bus does not go up this hairpin road; plan mini buses for this part. Big groups go early. Keep 2 to 3 hours.

Coach boarding
For a group of thirty to fifty, pick one big open place to board, such as a temple ground or a school yard, where the bus can wait without police moving it on. The coach leaves at 6 am. Luggage goes in the hold; each person keeps water, medicines and the puja items at the seat. Elders take the front rows near the door. One coordinator calls the roll at each halt. Breakfast is at Krishnagiri, about two hours away.
Drive through
Hosur is where the coach enters Tamil Nadu. It halts briefly at the border so the driver can settle the road tax, or present the All India Tourist permit if the bus carries one, and the number plate is captured on camera. Nobody needs to get down. The town is jammed with factory traffic from early morning, so the coach stays on the main highway and does not enter the centre. Krishnagiri, with breakfast for the group, is about fifty km further on.
Coach breakfast
The coach stops for breakfast at Krishnagiri, at a large highway restaurant with a bus bay that seats forty at once. Allow forty minutes for food and the roll call. Krishnagiri is the mango capital of Tamil Nadu, and its pulp factories hum all summer long; a crate or two travels safely in the luggage bay. After breakfast the bus carries straight on along NH44, past the turn for Vellore and Chennai, towards Dharmapuri and Salem.
Tea
Dharmapuri gets a twenty minute tea and restroom halt at a hotel with room for a coach. This is the last proper stop before the Thoppur ghat, a steep downhill run on NH44 with a bad accident record. The driver changes to a low gear early and keeps a long gap behind lorries; passengers stay seated. Dharmapuri summers reach about 38 C, so keep curtains drawn on the sunny side.
Snack
A twenty minute snack stop in Salem breaks the run, at a highway hotel on the city's edge where the coach can turn. Salem is a big weaving and steel town, and its silk carries a GI tag. Hungry pilgrims can try a plate of the local thattu vadai, others just tea. The Coimbatore highway forks away here, but the coach stays on NH44, and Namakkal, the end of the day's drive, is only about 35 km south.
Temple drop
The coach reaches Namakkal in about six hours. Temple streets here are narrow, so the driver stops at the closest spot a coach can stand and the group walks the last few minutes; agree on one place to gather afterwards. Namakkal is a lorry and transport town on NH44, famous as the Egg City for its poultry farms. Order meals for fifty a day ahead. In March and April the car festival brings enormous crowds.
Is a whole apartment, office or village group of 30 to 50 going to Namakkal? A Bangalore to Namakkal bus keeps them on one vehicle, with one driver and one plan. Book a bus on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels for a temple trip like this.
Route | One way | Namakkal and back | Time by bus |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Namakkal via Krishnagiri and Salem | About 235 km | About 470 km | About 6 hr with stops |
Count about 470 km for the round trip. That makes 2 days and 600 km on the bill. Drop only? That is ₹2 a km above the return rate, on request. The rate includes diesel and the driver. Volvo or BharatBenz on request, at 400 km a day. Add the driver allowance of ₹700 to ₹1,000 a day. Tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit, parking and GST are paid at actual. We run AC and non-AC buses, and the per km rate follows the one you go for.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 2 days, 600 km | 3 days, 900 km | 4 days, 1,200 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
₹44 | ₹27,800 | ₹41,700 | ₹55,600 | |

Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹700 to ₹1,000 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 50, 3 days in the 50 Seater Bus is about ₹1,030 a person.
27 to 33 people: 33 seater bus. 34 to 40: 40 seater bus. 41 to 50: 49 seater bus or 50 seater bus. With elders, the 2+2 seats of the 35 to 45 seaters are easier on a long day.
Fewer than 25 people? The Bangalore to Namakkal mini bus costs less. Splitting the group for Kolli Hills? See the Bangalore to Kolli Hills mini bus.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.

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.

Namakkal is about 235 km from Bangalore along NH44, passing Hosur, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Salem, which adds up to about 470 km for the round trip. A full coach takes about six hours each way, with breakfast, tea and a snack halt and the border check.
A 50 seater bus is ₹32,400 for 2 days (600 km at ₹54/km), plus ₹2,000 driver allowance. Tolls, the Tamil Nadu permit, parking and GST are extra, at actual.
Yes. Ask with your date; the one way rate is ₹2 a km above the round trip rate.
The 49 seater, with a few seats spare. Every size is on bus on rent in Bangalore.
We do not take a full size bus up the 70 hairpin road. For Kolli Hills, split the group into mini buses.
On weekdays, yes, in about an hour. On Saturdays and festival days, plan two hours.
November to February. From March to June the plains around Dharmapuri and Salem are very hot, close to 38 C, and a group of fifty waiting in a temple queue suffers. The March to April car festival packs the town. Rain from the northeast monsoon after October is usually short.
Yes, with planning. Seat them in the front rows near the door, keep their medicines and water in hand bags, and take restroom halts at Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri and Salem. If the group returns the same day, about twelve hours pass on the road, so a night stay in Namakkal is easier for elders.
