One pickup for the group
For forty or fifty pilgrims, one pickup point outside the centre is the rule; near Majestic a private bus gets only seconds to a minute or two to load. A temple ground or a school gate works best. Leave at 6 am. Big bags go in the hold, water and snacks stay at the seats. The bus uses Hosur Road and the Attibele toll. Breakfast for the group is at Krishnagiri, 90 km on.
Tamil Nadu check post
Hosur is where the coach crosses into Tamil Nadu. Paperwork for a bus at the check post takes a few minutes longer than for a car, so the group simply waits in its seats. Afterwards, a large diesel station with proper washrooms gives everyone a break. Above the town, the hill shrine of Chandra Choodeswarar pulls out a golden chariot at festivals, unusual for this part of the state. Expect work zones up to Krishnagiri, where NH44 is being widened.
Breakfast for fifty
Krishnagiri, 90 km from Bangalore, is breakfast for the group at a hotel with a yard big enough for a coach. Forty people eat in about 40 minutes if the plate count is given at the counter first. After that the coach leaves NH44 for NH77 and heads east. By the highway outside town stands a Jain shrine, the Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet, and the Kattuveera Anjaneya temple is in town, both possible on the drive back. Summer mango boxes ride in the hold.
Two lane road
Past Krishnagiri, NH77 becomes a two lane road, and the coach goes through Uthangarai without a halt. This town, around 360 m up on the eastern edge of the district, has schools, colleges and an industrial estate. Hanumantheertham, a shrine on the Pennaiyar river, is about 10 km away. Tractors and village buses share the road, so the driver keeps to a safe speed and overtakes only on straight stretches. Chengam is about 30 km ahead.
Tea if needed
Chengam is the place for a tea or restroom halt if the group wants one. The town is about 34 km short of Tiruvannamalai, in a pass between the Javadhu and Chennakesava hills. People here say its Venugopala Parthasarathy temple was the model for the layout of the great temple ahead. The Sathanur dam project lies near Chengam, and the coach can stop there on the return day. Fifteen minutes, then the last leg.
Bus parking outside the centre
About 5 hours by bus with the stops. The bus drops the group near the temple and parks away from the towers; the main bus stand is in the heart of town, and coaches are kept out of the narrow centre. On full moon days at least 10 lakh people walk Girivalam, and buses are sent to a parking ground outside. Vegetarian hotels can feed a group if told ahead.
Taking a bhajan group or an apartment association for Girivalam, 30 to 50 people? This is our Bangalore to Tiruvannamalai Bus page, covering the road, parking at stops and fares by seat count. A private bus means nobody is left behind at the temple. Book a bus on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels for the full moon trip or a normal weekend darshan.

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.

Tiruvannamalai is about 200 km from Bangalore by road, through Hosur, Krishnagiri, Uthangarai and Chengam, so a round trip is about 400 km. A full bus takes about 5 hours each way with breakfast. The coach runs on NH44 to Krishnagiri and on NH77 from there.
Billed as two days, 600 km. A 33 seater at ₹44/km is ₹26,400. A 50 seater at ₹54/km is ₹32,400. Driver allowance, tolls, permit and GST extra.
Yes. Most groups leave Bangalore at 2 pm, walk the hill at night and come back by morning. The driver rests while you walk.
At the parking ground the police fix for buses, outside the town. From there it is a walk or an auto to the temple.
The 50 seater. All bus sizes are on bus on rent in Bangalore.
No. The permit for a tourist bus is paid at the border at actual and shown on the bill.
November to February is the coolest. Karthigai Deepam in November or December draws millions, so a bus trip then needs early booking and a long walk from the parking. April to June is the hottest, hard for the 14 km walk. October to December is the wet season.
The walk is about 14 km and takes three to five hours. Elders can walk a part and rest; the path is lit at night and has toilets. Keep them in the front rows of the bus, and let them stay seated during the stops if they prefer. Carry their medicines in a hand bag.
