Places to Visit in Srisailam

Mallikarjuna Swamy and Bhramaramba Devi
The reason for the journey, and a genuinely rare combination - the Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga and the Bhramaramba Shakti Peetha stand within the same walled complex, so a single visit covers one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and one of the eighteen Maha Shakti Peethas. The temple has fortified walls with carved reliefs running around them, some dating to the Vijayanagara period and among the finest stone narrative work in Andhra Pradesh. Visit early morning. Darshan arrangements, queue types and timings are administered by the temple devasthanam and vary considerably by day and festival, so confirm close to your travel date - and note that Maha Shivaratri brings crowds on an entirely different scale.

Bangalore
Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Chikkaballapur
Gateway to Nandi Hills
The route leaves Bangalore north on NH 44 past the international airport, and this is the easiest exit from the city of any route we run - the highway is six-lane from the start and the airport traffic thins after Devanahalli. Our drivers aim to be past the airport before 5:30 AM on a pilgrimage departure, which on this route is entirely about clearing the forest ghat with hours in hand at the far end. Devanahalli is worth knowing about even if you do not stop: Tipu Sultan was born in the fort here in 1751, and the walls and bastions still stand a short distance off the highway. Chikkaballapur follows, with the Nandi Hills rising to the west - the range where the Arkavathi, Palar, Ponnaiyar, Papagni and Chitravathi all rise, which is unusual enough to be worth a mention as you pass.

Anantapur
Abode of Sathya Sai Baba
Bagepalli is the last Karnataka town and the Andhra border follows shortly after at Kodikonda. A short detour off the highway here reaches Lepakshi, where the sixteenth-century Veerabhadra temple holds the celebrated hanging pillar that does not quite rest on the floor, extensive surviving mural work on the ceilings, and a monolithic Nandi carved from a single boulder that is among the largest in India. It is a forty-five minute detour and one of the finest Vijayanagara sites anywhere. Penukonda comes next - the fortress city the Vijayanagara empire retreated to after the fall of Hampi, with the Gagan Mahal and hill fortifications still standing. Puttaparthi lies off the highway to the west, the ashram town of Sathya Sai Baba and a destination in its own right. Anantapur, the district headquarters, is the groundnut capital of India and the natural breakfast halt on this route, with good options on the bypass.

Kurnool
First Capital of Andhra State
A hundred and fifty kilometres of continuing excellent divided highway through dry Rayalaseema country. Gooty announces itself with its fort - a Vijayanagara and later Maratha stronghold on a steep granite outcrop directly above the road, once held by Murari Rao and taken by Hyder Ali after a long siege. It is visible from the highway and worth looking up for. Kurnool is the pivot of this journey and the point every traveller should understand. It sits at the confluence of the Tungabhadra and the Hundri, it was the first capital of Andhra State between 1953 and 1956, and it is the last substantial city before the road changes character entirely. Our drivers treat it as the checkpoint: fuel fully here, eat properly here, and confirm the time, because what follows takes as long as the previous 360 kilometres despite being half the distance.

Atmakur
Gateway to the Nallamala
Beyond Kurnool the highway ends and the road becomes undivided two-lane through Nandikotkur and on toward Atmakur. The surface is generally reasonable but the character is completely different - villages sit on the road, local traffic and agricultural vehicles use it, and the pace drops to something closer to half what it was. Travellers unfamiliar with this route consistently misjudge this stretch. The landscape changes with it. The dry open Rayalaseema plain gives way to scrub and then to the wooded foothills of the Nallamala, and the hills begin to close in. Atmakur is the last town of any size before the forest, with fuel, food and basic services, and our drivers stop here as standing practice regardless of what the gauge says - beyond it there is essentially nothing until Srisailam.

Srisailam
Kailash of the South
The final eighty kilometres run into and through the Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve, the largest tiger reserve in India, on a winding ghat road through genuinely dense forest. Mobile coverage is patchy, there is no fuel, and wildlife crossings are a real possibility rather than a theoretical one. Traffic through this section is restricted by the forest department at night, commonly reported as no vehicles after around 9:00 PM, and the timings are set by the forest authorities rather than published permanently, so our drivers confirm the position before departure. It is also the best part of the drive. The road climbs through unbroken canopy with the Krishna gorge somewhere below to the north, and the arrival at Srisailam - a temple town on a plateau in the middle of a tiger reserve, with the dam and the river in a gorge below it - is unlike any other pilgrimage arrival in South India. Our driver takes you to the confirmed accommodation and assists with luggage. A 5:00 AM departure with a proper Kurnool halt puts most groups in Srisailam between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.

Bus Packages for the Srisailam Route
Four package shapes cover almost every enquiry, all quoted in writing and billed garage to garage on actual kilometres and hours. All assume a minimum two-night trip.
Temple Committee Package
The dominant booking here. Annual yatras run by temple committees, bhajan mandalis and community associations, usually 40 to 50 travellers of a wide age range. A 45 or 50 seater standard AC coach with a full undercarriage bay for pooja materials, vessels and provisions, and a driver briefed to hold the vehicle at the complex throughout. We quote the full Rayalaseema circuit on one booking.
Family and Senior Group Package
For extended families and senior groups, where comfort matters more than cost. A 32 seater executive coach with recliner seats, extra halts built into the schedule, and a drop as close to the temple entrance as the vehicle is permitted.
Budget and Institutional Package
The lowest cost per head, for large community groups, schools and colleges. A 45 or 50 seater standard AC at Rs 48 per km spreads to roughly Rs 1,200 a person across a 1,100 km return trip. For school excursion bus rental Bangalore we supply driver verification and pre-trip inspection records as standard.
Luxury Package
A 45 seater Volvo or Benz with air suspension, dual-zone climate control, premium recliners and per-seat charging. On a ten-hour day ending with a ghat section, the suspension makes a real difference for older travellers, which is why many committees now book this tier. Volvo bus rental Bangalore should be confirmed well ahead for Mahashivratri and Karthika Masam.

What Our Customers Say About Our Bus Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Srisailam Bus
Nine to ten hours for about 530 km, including halts and the forest section. A 4:30 AM departure is what makes the day work, since the approach roads close at night and arriving late means waiting until morning.
The roads through the Nallamala forest are generally closed from around 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with no discretion at the barrier. Timings are set by the forest department and can change, so we confirm the current position before you travel.
No. Ten hours each way plus the night closure makes it impossible. Two nights is the practical minimum, and three or four if you want Mahanandi, Yaganti, Ahobilam or Mantralayam on the same yatra.
Bus fares around Rs 40,980. The final figure depends on vehicle class, number of days and total kilometres run. Since billing is garage to garage on actual kilometres and hours, we issue a written itemised quote within 2 hours rather than a verbal estimate.
No. Darshan slots, sevas, ropeway and boat tickets and Devasthanam accommodation are booked by the group directly, well ahead for a party of forty. Our part is the vehicle, the permit and getting you there in time for the slot you booked.
We do. It is arranged as part of the booking, with the cost billed at actuals and shown in the written quote before you pay the advance. It appears as an exclusion because it is a pass-through cost, not because it is your responsibility to organise.
Yes, and it is the most common reason groups choose a private coach here. Mahanandi is effectively on the route, Yaganti and Ahobilam are short detours from Nandyal, and Mantralayam adds a day. Send the plan and we quote the circuit as one fare.
Yes. The vehicle stays parked at the complex throughout, which matters where queues run several hours and the group needs somewhere to leave belongings. Waiting time is inside the quoted package.
Included: base fare, all fuel and the driver allowance. Billed separately: tolls and parking at actuals, inter-state tax for Andhra Pradesh, forest checkpost charges at actuals, extra driver bata past 9:45 PM, night halt charges, and GST. Final rental is on total kilometres and hours, garage to garage.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passengers under a company insurance policy. Vehicles carry statutory motor cover and drivers on this route are licensed, police-verified and experienced on the Nallamala section, but groups wanting personal accident or travel cover should arrange it independently.
