One pickup point
For Sahasralinga, twenty travellers meet at one spot near a main road for a 5:30 am departure. Avoid Majestic, because police there give buses barely a minute to load when it gets busy. On holiday weekends the queue at the Nelamangala toll builds before sunrise, another reason to go early. Breakfast is planned at Sira, roughly two hours out, so a biscuit or banana in the hand bag helps with the wait.
Drive through
The mini bus rolls through Tumakuru without a halt and keeps to NH48 heading north. Someone who misses the bus can still catch up, since BMTC Vajra coaches run between Bengaluru and Tumakuru, and the driver can wait at the stand. For a future weekend, Devarayanadurga, a wooded hill with Narasimha temples, lies roughly 15 km away. Once known simply as Tumkur, the city is now an industrial centre with Smart City status.
Breakfast
Twenty people sit down to breakfast at Sira, about 120 km out. Choose a roadside place with space for the mini bus, call the order in from Tumakuru, and the meal takes about 35 minutes. Sira lies a little lower and warmer than Bangalore, around 662 m. On the way home, a group curious about history can visit the dargah of Malik Rihan and the remains of the old fort in the town. Count heads before the bus pulls out.
Drive on
The mini bus does not stop at Chitradurga this time. Our north Karnataka pages treat the city as the 200 km point, about a third of the distance to Hubli. Wind turbines stand on many of the hills around, and the group will see them from the windows as the bus nears the city. Ahead, NH48 continues to Davanagere, around 65 km further, where lunch is booked. Anyone who needs a restroom should tell the driver now.
Lunch for the group
Twenty people lunch at Davanagere, about 265 km from home, and the order should include benne dose, the butter dosa this city is known for. Allow 50 minutes. Davanagere is a big rail junction on the line to Hubballi, and Hubballi airport is about 143 km away. On a return day, the group could picnic at Shanthi Sagara, also called Sulekere, about 18 km from Channagiri. Haveri is roughly 70 km on.
Tea
At Haveri the group takes 15 minutes for tea and the restroom before leaving the highway. A Western Chalukya shrine, the Siddheshwara temple, stands in the town. Further north towards Hubli, at Gotagodi in Shiggaon taluk, the Utsav Rock Garden draws many groups, a stop for another trip. From Haveri the mini bus turns west onto a smaller road, with Sirsi around 75 km away and the last stretch through forest.
Tea
Sirsi, around 405 km from home, gives the group a short tea break before the final leg. The hills here soak up some 2,635 to 2,665 mm of rain a year, most of it in the monsoon, which keeps everything green and the air cool. For anyone leaving by train, Kumta station is about 62 km away down NH766E, the same road that leads to Gokarna. Sahasralinga is roughly 15 km on, so the group is nearly there.
River parking
Nine and a half hours after leaving home, the mini bus pulls into the parking near the river path. Agree on a return time before people head down. Maha Shivaratri is the busiest time here, and the carvings are clearest after the monsoon, once the water drops. Sonda, home to the Vadiraja and Swarnavalli mathas, lies around 15 km from Sirsi and makes an easy add on. The driver stays with the bus.

Sahasralinga is about 420 km from Bangalore, through Tumakuru, Sira, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Haveri and Sirsi; the round trip is about 840 km. A mini bus with a full group takes about 9.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea. We start at 5:30 am so the forest road after Haveri is driven in daylight.
Three days, 900 km at ₹34/km is ₹30,600. Add ₹2,100 driver allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes, but cross in small batches, not all twenty at once.
The 25 seater. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. It is about 30 km from Sirsi. Extra km above the billed km are at the same rate.
From about November to May. That is when the lingas are seen best.
NH48 from Bangalore to Haveri is a wide highway, easy for a mini bus, though trucks crowd it around Chitradurga and Davanagere. The last 85 km from Haveri through Sirsi to the river is a smaller road with bends and forest, where the driver goes slowly, more so in the monsoon.
One medium bag each in the back of the mini bus and a small bag at the seat with water, snacks and medicines. Wear footwear with good grip for the river rocks, and carry a towel and a change of clothes in the hand bag. From June to September add a rain jacket.
