One pickup point
Our mini bus for Sirsi rolls at 5 am, and the twenty passengers should all be waiting at one agreed point on a main road. If some of you come in by train, tell us the coach number, and the driver will meet you a short walk from the station rather than in the Majestic bus bay, where loading time is tiny. Coming home at the end of a holiday weekend, Tumkur Road gets very slow near the city, so try to be back by Sunday afternoon.
Drive through
No stop at Tumkur, which official papers now call Tumakuru; the bus keeps to NH48 as it runs north, and the road to Mangaluru turns away to the west here. If a member misses the start, regular BMTC Vajra coaches from Bengaluru reach Tumakuru, and our driver can wait for them at the stand for a few minutes. For another weekend, Shivagange hill rises about 25 km back near Dobbaspet. Breakfast is at Sira, roughly 50 km on.
Breakfast
Twenty people breakfast at Sira, about 120 km from home, at a roadside restaurant with room for the mini bus. Phone the order from Tumkur and 35 minutes is enough. In season, a nature group can detour roughly 10 km to the Kaggaladu sanctuary, where painted storks breed in the village trees from February to August. The nearest railway station for this area is Gubbi, about 48 km away. Count heads before the bus moves.
Tea
Chitradurga, around 200 km from home, gives the group 15 minutes for tea on the bypass. Here NH50 forks off towards Hosapete and Hampi, while the mini bus keeps to NH48. A curious group returning this way can see the pillow lava at Maradihalli, protected as a National Geological Monument, or the Chandravalli caves, where Iron Age remains were found, roughly 3 km from the fort area. Davangere and lunch are about 65 km further.
Lunch for the group
Twenty people lunch at Davangere, around 260 km out, and the order should include benne dose, the city's buttery dosa. Allow about 50 minutes. From here Haveri is about 70 km and Hubli about 145 km, so the group is well past the halfway mark. Textile shops in the market are a reminder of the old cotton mill days, if anyone wants a quick look. The coordinator counts heads before the mini bus moves on.
Drive through
The mini bus drives through Ranebennur, around 300 km from home, without stopping. The town is a wholesale cloth centre, and lorries from its markets crowd the highway. Byadgi, famous across Asia for its dried chilli market, lies on side roads in the same district towards Haveri. For anyone who must fly out, Hubballi airport is about 108 km from here. Tea is planned at Haveri, about 30 km ahead, so the group stays seated for now.
Tea
Haveri gives the group 15 minutes for tea before the turn west. Byadagi chilli comes in two shapes, the short plump dabbi and the long thin kaddi, harvested from January to May, and packets of dried chilli make a common purchase. The Tarakeshwara temple at Hangal, about 40 km from Haveri station, is a fine stop for a temple group another day. From here the mini bus leaves NH48 for Sirsi, around 75 km away.
Group stay
After nine hours the group checks into its Sirsi hotel. Three ghat roads, the Devimane, the Vaddi and the Doddamane, wind into this town, and every one of them turns slick in rain, so we plan to arrive while it is light. Forest covers close to four fifths of the taluk, which keeps the evenings cool. The local buys are cardamom and Sirsi supari, an areca with a GI tag. Our driver parks by the hotel overnight.
Going to Sirsi and the Uttara Kannada falls with 15 to 25 friends or relatives? Read on for the Bangalore to Sirsi Mini Bus route, where we stop and what each size costs. A mini bus handles the forest roads better than a big bus. Book a mini bus on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Sirsi is about 405 km from Bangalore, through Tumakuru, Sira, Chitradurga, Davangere, Ranebennur and Haveri; the round trip is about 810 km. A mini bus with a full group takes about 9 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea. We start at 5 am so the forest road after Haveri is driven in daylight.
3 days, 900 km. A 20 seater at ₹34/km is ₹30,600; a 25 seater at ₹36/km is ₹32,400. Driver allowance, tolls and GST extra.
Yes, to the parking. Then a forest walk to the rocks.
The 20 seater, or the 25 if you carry big bags. All sizes are on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
After the monsoon, September to December.
Yes, it is near Yellapur. Extra km at the same rate.
Yes. NH48 from Bangalore to Haveri is a wide highway with plenty of fuel stations and hotels, and the mini bus keeps a steady pace. It gets busy with trucks around Chitradurga and Davangere. The last 75 km from Haveri to Sirsi is a smaller road with bends and forest, which the driver takes slowly.
Yes. Halts come about every hour and a half, at Sira, Chitradurga, Davangere and Haveri, so nobody sits too long. Seat elders in the front rows, keep their medicines in hand bags and give them the first turn at restrooms. If the day feels long, stay a night at Davangere and reach Sirsi next morning.
