Sahasralinga Riverbed
Steps down to the river from the parking. With fifty people, keep two hours and fix one meeting point at the bus.
Marikamba Temple, Sirsi
In Sirsi town. The bus stops on the main road and the group walks a few minutes to the temple.
Banavasi Madhukeshwara Temple
About 25 km from Sirsi on a good road. Fine for a coach; keep an hour.
Unchalli Falls
A narrow forest road and steps to the viewpoint. Better for a smaller group; a bus needs a road check first.
Yana Rocks
About 40 km from Sirsi. The last road is narrow; plan a half day and confirm the road for a coach.

Single pickup point
Our coach for Sahasralinga, carrying 45 pilgrims or students, pulls out at 5 am from a single wide spot agreed beforehand. City timings for coaches are checked again before a Sahasralinga start. Because the Peenya flyover has been shut at short notice in the past, the driver checks the route the evening before. The coach then heads north on Tumkur Road. The first halt on the Sahasralinga road is Tumakuru, where everyone can stretch.
Drive through
It is too early for breakfast, so the coach rolls through Tumakuru, the city everyone once called Tumkur. Sira lies about 50 km further north on NH48. Two outings for another time are close by: Shivagange, a hill some 25 km back on the Dobbaspet side, and Araluguppe, roughly 25 km away, with a Hoysala temple from the 12th century. Students can keep sleeping, since breakfast is at Chitradurga, a couple of hours ahead.
Drive through
The coach runs past Sira, around 120 km from home, without stopping. Biology teachers may want to bring a class back between February and August, when painted storks breed at Kaggaladu, about 10 km away. The railway does not touch this stretch of NH48; the closest station is at Gubbi, about 48 km off. Hiriyur is roughly 35 km ahead, and beyond it the fort city of Chitradurga, where breakfast is planned for the group.
Breakfast for the group
Breakfast for fifty is at Chitradurga, about 200 km from home, in a bypass restaurant whose yard takes the coach. Plan 45 minutes, counting heads twice. If the group comes back for the fort, buses can park right outside near Gate 3, where there are basic toilets and drinking water. Inside, rock cut tanks such as Akka Thangi Honda once kept the fort supplied. The Hosapete road, NH50, branches off here, but the coach stays on NH48.
Tea
A 15 minute tea halt at Davanagere, about 265 km from home, keeps the coach on schedule. In the days of its cotton mills, the city was nicknamed the Manchester of Karnataka. From here, Haveri is roughly 70 km on and Hubli about 145 km. A history class could return to see the old Harihareshwara temple at Harihar, on the Tungabhadra close by. Before the coach leaves, the coordinator does a quick head count.
Lunch with parking
Lunch for fifty is at Haveri, around 335 km from home, in a highway hotel with a lot for the coach. Allow an hour. Official district figures put Haveri about 350 km from Bangalore, though the drive is closer to 334 km. Here the coach turns west for Sirsi, leaving NH48. Another time, the group might try Magod falls and Yellapur, both reached from Haveri by way of Mundgod, a full day trip in itself.
Drive through
The coach goes through Sirsi without a long stop, around 405 to 415 km from home depending on the road taken. Anyone who needs a train later can use Haveri station, about 76 km back, or Kumta, about 62 km away. Close to four fifths of the taluk is forest. With fifty people aboard, the driver takes the town roads slowly. Sahasralinga is roughly 15 km on, through areca gardens.
Group parking
At about 10.5 hours of driving, Sahasralinga is a long day for a full coach, so most groups sleep in Sirsi, roughly 15 km away, and come to the river fresh the next morning. The coach stops where the road is wide enough, and everyone walks the last stretch. From June to September the rain is heavy, so raincoats are better than umbrellas. Maha Shivaratri draws very large crowds. The driver waits with the coach.
Is a bhajan mandali or a college group of 40 planning Sahasralinga, maybe around Shivaratri? For a Bangalore to Sahasralinga Bus trip, the stops, timings and rates are listed further down. A bus takes the whole group on one ticket and our driver knows where a coach can stop on the Sirsi side. Book a bus on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Sahasralinga is about 420 km from Bangalore, about 840 km for the round trip, by Tumakuru, Sira, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Haveri and Sirsi. A full bus needs about 10.5 hours with breakfast and lunch, so we start at 5 am and stay at Sirsi for the night.
A 40 seater for three days, 900 km at ₹60/km, is ₹54,000. Driver allowance ₹3,000. Tolls, parking and GST extra.
When the river is low, from about November to May. In the monsoon most are under water.
The 50 seater. All sizes are on bus on rent in Bangalore.
It is the biggest day there and very crowded. Reach early and keep the group together.
Yes. It is about 25 km from Sirsi and easy for a bus.
It can reach close, but the last road from Sirsi is narrow, so the coach parks where the road is wide enough and the group walks the rest. The path down to the river has steps and wet rocks, so plan time for fifty people. In the monsoon the ghat roads around Sirsi are slippery, so we drive them in daylight.
Yes, with help. The drive is long, so stay a night in Sirsi before the visit. Give elders the front seats near the door and keep their medicines in hand bags. At the river, elders who cannot manage the steps can watch from the top while the group goes down.
