Pickup at your gate
Pickup is at 6 am. Being a high roof van, the Urbania cannot drive into a typical apartment basement, so the driver loads bags at the gate. Parents take the middle seats, which ride most gently. Homes in the north or east of the city can join the outer ring road via Hoskote and the new interchange towards Hosur, so the van never crosses the centre. On the eve of Tamil Nadu festivals the stretch at Roopena Agrahara clogs, and we leave earlier.
Permit stop
The Urbania pauses at the Hosur border while the driver clears the Tamil Nadu tax, and elders need not get down. Hosur, some 40 km from the city, sits at roughly 880 m, which is why its mornings feel cool. The British once nicknamed nearby Thally Little England for the same reason. Kelavarapalli, a reservoir with a garden roughly 10 km off, is for another day. Use a fuel station washroom here before the next hour.
Breakfast
Breakfast is a sit down meal at Krishnagiri, with soft idli and pongal that suit older stomachs, and the van parked a few steps from the entrance. Grandchildren on board? On the drive home, the boating spot at the KRP dam has a small play park. Santhur village nearby is a hub of mango nurseries, about 150 of them, for anyone who gardens. After breakfast the Urbania leaves the Salem highway and follows NH77 east.
Quiet road
Uthangarai is a quiet town on the far edge of Krishnagiri district, around 360 m above sea level. The Urbania rolls on along the two lane road, and the ride is smooth enough for elders to sleep. A river shrine called Hanumantheertham lies roughly 10 km off on the Pennaiyar. The town has schools, colleges and a SIPCOT estate, so school buses crowd the road in the morning. Chengam, the place for a tea stop, is about 30 km ahead.
Short break
A short break at Chengam lets elders stretch. The town lies in the Eastern Ghats foothills, and the road threads between the Javadhu and Chennakesava hills just here. Local belief holds that the Venugopala Parthasarathy Perumal temple in Chengam served as the pattern for the Annamalaiyar temple. An Aavin milk plant works near the town, so fresh curd and buttermilk are easy to find for the elders. Tiruvannamalai is about 35 km on.
Temple drop
About 4 hours with the halts. The Urbania drops elders at the temple gate nearest to the shrine they want, and parks within reach. The eastern tower is the tallest of the four, at about 66 m, so it is an easy landmark for meeting up. Rituals run from 5:30 am to 10 pm, six times a day. Vegetarian hotels are everywhere. Chennai airport is about 180 km away if a relative flies home from there.
Taking parents to Tiruvannamalai with 8 to 16 people in the group? The Bangalore to Tiruvannamalai Force Urbania route, the breaks on the way and the fare are all below. The Force Urbania is quieter and easier to climb into than most vans. Book Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Bangalore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

The Bangalore to Tiruvannamalai distance by road is about 200 km, by Hosur, Krishnagiri, Uthangarai and Chengam, which makes about 400 km there and back. The Urbania takes around 4 hours each way with breakfast. The road is NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH77 from there.
Two days, 600 km at ₹40/km: ₹24,000. Driver allowance ₹700/day a day. Tolls, permit and GST extra.
Lower step, more headroom, and a quieter cabin on the two lane road.
The 9 seater, or the 12 if you carry bags. All sizes are on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
We arrange them with drivers from owners we work with, at our rate.
Yes. The fare already covers two days.
November to February is the most comfortable, though Karthigai Deepam in November or December brings huge crowds. April to June is the hottest, and the temple stone gets very warm. October to December is the wet season, which cools the town but can make the Girivalam path slippery. Plan elders' visits for weekday mornings.
One small bag each is enough for a night. The Urbania has rear luggage space, and hand bags stay at the seats. Keep a cloth bag for footwear, a shawl, and water. If you stay at an ashram, check their rules on luggage and dress before you leave.
