Home pickup
The tempo traveller arrives at your gate at 6 am. Apartment basements are usually about 2.4 m high and the van is taller, so everyone loads at the gate. With 10 or more people, one person keeps the list and calls latecomers. Hosur Road through Chandapura gets jammed on Saturdays because of the market, so leave on time on weekends. The van pays toll at Attibele and crosses into Tamil Nadu soon after.
Border check post
At the Hosur border the driver settles the Tamil Nadu tax while the family stays inside. If the children need a restroom, a fuel station here is the place. Hosur grows tomatoes, cabbage, beans and carrots on the farms around town, and the Dakshina Tirupati temple stands beside this highway at the edge of the Sanamavu forest. The climate here is mild all year. Breakfast is at Krishnagiri, 50 km on.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the family at Krishnagiri, at a hotel whose yard can take the van. Idli, vada and coffee come quickly, and the restrooms are clean. Right after the meal the van turns off the Salem highway onto NH77, the eastern road. On the way home, the reservoir of the KRP dam, roughly 10 km away, makes a picnic with children. Bottles of pulp pressed from the district's Totapuri and Alphonso crop are an easy gift. Twenty five minutes in all.
Small town
Uthangarai, 135 km out, is a small town of schools, colleges and a SIPCOT estate, and the van drives straight through it. Some 10 km away on the Pennaiyar river is Hanumantheertham, a riverside shrine worth knowing for a slower return. The road here is two lane, so the van holds a steady pace behind lorries and tractors. Children can nap on this stretch; Chengam is roughly 30 km on, and the temple town about an hour beyond that.
Optional tea
Chengam is roughly the midpoint of the Bangalore to Puducherry road through Tiruvannamalai, set in a gap where the Javadhu range meets the Chennakesava hills. Elders will be glad of a tea and restroom halt here. The Perumal temple in the town holds a ten day festival each May, when the main street fills up. Rain comes mostly between September and December, about 1,200 mm a year. The temple town is about 35 km further, under an hour.
Close to the temple
About 4 hours with the stops. The van drops the family close to a temple gate and parks nearby. The temple's lingam is the Agni lingam, the fire element among the five Pancha Bhuta shrines, which is why many families come on a vow. Vegetarian meals are easy to find all over town. The main bus stand is right in the centre, so traffic there is heavy; the driver avoids it. Keep footwear in the van.
Planning a family visit to Arunachaleswarar with 10 to 15 people? On this page is the Bangalore to Tiruvannamalai Tempo Traveller trip, stop by stop, with fares. A tempo traveller picks up from home and drops you close to the temple. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Tiruvannamalai is about 200 km from Bangalore by road, via Hosur, Krishnagiri, Uthangarai and Chengam, so around 400 km for the round trip. A tempo traveller needs about 4 hours each way with breakfast. NH44 runs to Krishnagiri and NH77 from there to the temple town.
Two days, 600 km at ₹24/km: ₹14,400. Driver allowance ₹500/day a day, tolls, permit and GST extra.
Yes. It is still billed as two days and 600 km, because the round trip is over 300 km.
The walk is about 14 km. Elders can do part of it and the van picks them up on the way.
The 17 seater. See every size on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
At ₹34/km, ₹20,400 for 600 km, plus ₹700/day a day allowance.
On full moon days, when lakhs of people walk Girivalam, and above all during Karthigai Deepam in November or December, which runs from ten days before to three days after the full moon. On those dates the van parks further out. For a calm visit, pick a weekday away from the full moon. April to June is very hot.
Yes. It is a short drive with a breakfast halt at Krishnagiri and an optional tea stop at Chengam. In town, keep children close in the temple crowds and carry water. If you plan Girivalam, the walk takes three to five hours, so children can do part of it and the van picks them up.
