Family pickup
The tempo traveller picks up the family at 5 am, as Pattadakal is about nine hours away with meals. Nine to twenty people fit with bags at the back. Children can sleep through the first two hours if they have a pillow and a light blanket, since early mornings on the Bangalore plateau are cool. Snacks, water and a small first aid kit should ride in the front. The van leaves the city on Tumkur Road.
Breakfast
Breakfast at Tumkur (Tumakuru), 70 km into the day, at a hotel with room for the van. The family can share thatte idli, the giant flat idli this district gave the state, with vada and coffee, and half an hour is enough. Around Tumakuru the farms grow coconut, areca and groundnut, and people call the district the land of coconut palms. Everyone should use the restroom before the van heads north. The van parks right in front.
Tea
A tea halt at Hiriyur, about 155 km out. Children can stretch while the elders visit the Teru Malleshwara temple in the town centre. The seventy eyed bridge near Hiriyur, with arches shaped like eyes, is a fun sight to point out. March and April are very hot here, so keep water handy. Fifteen minutes, then the van heads for Chitradurga, 45 km on, with lunch still a few hours away. Refill the water cans before the van moves.
Turn
Past Chitradurga, about 200 km out, the van swaps NH48 for NH50. The stone fort is right beside the town, and children love the rocks, but it needs two hours, so families usually stop on the way home. The hills here carry rows of wind turbines. The town was called Chitaldrug in British days. Lunch is planned at Hosapete, about 120 km further, so a fruit snack here helps. Children who feel carsick can sit near the front for the next stretch.
Restroom
Kudligi, 280 km along NH50, is a ten minute restroom stop. The town's market sells tamarind in blocks, and the taluk also holds the Gudekote sloth bear sanctuary, about 38 sq km of scrub, which children may like to hear about. Families use the restrooms at the highway fuel stations, where the van parks right beside them. Then the van rolls on past Mariyammanahalli, 40 km short of Hosapete, where lunch is waiting.
Lunch
Lunch for the family is at Hosapete, 320 km from home. The local plate is jolada rotti with curry; ask the cook to go easy on the chilli for the children, and the van waits outside. Children may enjoy hearing that the emperor Krishnadevaraya built this town in 1520 in his mother's name. Beside it, India's largest stone masonry dam holds back the Tungabhadra. After lunch the van heads 65 km north on NH50 to Kushtagi.
Tea
Kushtagi, at 385 km, is a small highway town with tea stalls and fuel. Ten minutes for tea, biscuits and restrooms. Pomegranates grow all over this taluk, and a bag of fresh fruit is a good snack for the children. From here the Pattadakal road leaves NH50, which goes on to Ilkal. A new railway, the Gadag to Wadi line, is being built through this area. About an hour more to Pattadakal. Children can wash their faces and drink water here.
Arrival
About nine hours with meals, the tempo traveller drops the family at the entrance. The temples stand on green lawns by the Malaprabha river, and the Virupaksha temple is still in worship. Shoes come off inside, so carry socks. There is a museum on site, good for children who want to know more. A few tea and snack stalls stand at the gate. Keep two hours inside, and the driver waits in the parking.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

It is about 440 km from Bangalore to Pattadakal, which makes about 880 km for the whole trip before sightseeing runs. The tempo traveller goes up NH48 to Chitradurga, follows NH50 past Hosapete to Kushtagi, then turns west for the last hour. Plan about nine hours for the run, meals included.
Three days, 900 km at ₹24/km is ₹21,600. Add ₹1,500 allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes, if you go in the cooler months. Badami caves have monkeys; keep food in bags.
The 17 seater. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Badami has the most hotels, about 22 km from Pattadakal.
Yes, with one more day. It is near Hosapete.
It can be. From June to September the countryside turns green and the heat drops, and the Malaprabha flows past the temples. The lawns and stone floors get slippery after rain, so watch children on the steps. The cool, dry months from October to February are still the main season and the busiest.
Not with a family. A night run of nine hours means the driver and the children are tired for the temples. Leave Bangalore at 5 am, reach by afternoon and see Pattadakal in the evening light. For the return, a morning start gets you home by evening. Driving after 10 pm adds a driver night allowance.
