Pickup by 5 am
For a Saturday darshan the tempo traveller collects the group at 5 am from one or two points. Wait with the bags at the ground level gate: basement clearance is measured to the lowest beam or duct, so even a basement marked for tall vehicles can be too low for this van. Big bags go behind the last row, and the offerings stay in a hand bag. The road is Bellary Road, then the Doddaballapur road, about 155 km to Pavagada, roughly three hours.
Last pickup
If some of the group live in north Bangalore, collect them near Yelahanka on the way out. Fix the spot the night before on Doddaballapur Road itself, which runs through the middle of Yelahanka, so the van does not enter the narrow old town streets. A five minute halt is enough if they are ready. Yelahanka is about 15 km from the centre, and from here the tempo traveller is on State Highway 9 all the way to Doddaballapur and beyond.
Straight on
Rajanukunte is about 25 km from the centre on State Highway 9. The van does not stop here on the way in, since breakfast at Doddaballapur is close and the group wants to reach Pavagada early. On the way back in the evening it is the last easy halt before the city, with tea stalls by the road, useful if the drive has been long and the children are restless. From here it is about 130 km to Pavagada and about 10 km back to Yelahanka.
Breakfast for the group
Breakfast for twelve in Doddaballapur, about 40 km out: idli, vada and dosa at a hotel near the main road with space for the van. Some groups fast until darshan, and then just tea and a restroom break is enough. Doddaballapur is a weaving town, and most families here work power looms making silk sarees; a saree shop is a quick stop on the way home. The railway station on the Bengaluru to Guntakal line is in town if anyone joins by train. Keep about 30 minutes.
Restroom halt
A short restroom halt near Madhugiri, about 105 km out, with the great rock hill and its fort above the town. The driver fills diesel if needed at a pump on this road. Madhugiri is a Tumkur (Tumakuru) district town at about 787 m, and the single rock behind it is said to be the second largest monolith in Asia. Ten minutes is enough; Pavagada is about 50 km further, and the group should be at the temple well before the late morning crowd.
Temple and prasada
A tempo traveller reaches Pavagada in about three hours. On Saturdays the van parks at the vehicle ground and the group walks to the Shanimahatma temple. Fix one meeting point at the van and one time to be back, since phones can be hard to hear in the crowd. Many devotees also visit the Kote Anjaneya temple at the foot of the fort hill. Shopkeepers here speak both Kannada and Telugu. Keep about two hours on a Saturday and less on a weekday.
Is the family or the apartment group, 9 to 20 people, going to the Shani temple in Pavagada? A Bangalore to Pavagada tempo traveller takes everyone in one van and gets back the same night. Tejas Tours & Travels has every tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore from 9 to 20 seats.

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. 👍

Pavagada is about 155 km from Bangalore, so about 310 km for the round trip. The tempo traveller goes up Bellary Road to Yelahanka, then State Highway 9 by Rajanukunte, Doddaballapur and Madhugiri. It takes about three hours each way with breakfast and a short halt, so a 5 am start puts the group at the temple by about 8 am.
One day, 310 km at ₹24/km: ₹7,440. Add ₹500 allowance, tolls and GST.
The 17 seater: ₹10,540 for the day. Compare sizes on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. Leave Pavagada by 3 pm and you are home by 6:30 or 7 pm, traffic allowing.
Two days, 600 km. The 12 seater is ₹14,400 plus two days of allowance.
At the vehicle parking set up for the crowd, a short walk from the temple. The driver waits there.
The northeast monsoon reaches Karnataka around 20 October, and October and November bring heavy evening downpours over Bangalore. The highway to Pavagada is usually fine, but the city end jams badly in the rain. On those months we suggest leaving Pavagada by about 3 pm, so the tempo traveller reaches Yelahanka before the worst of the evening traffic.
For a day trip, small bags go behind the last row, and there is room for oil tins, coconuts and flower baskets for the offering. Keep the oil sealed in a bag, because a tin can tip over on a long drive. If the group carries food for lunch, tell us at booking so the driver leaves space near the door for the vessels.
