Varkala North Cliff
The varkala cliff is the town's defining feature, a line of red laterite cliffs rising above the sea, recognised by the Geological Survey of India as a national geological monument. A paved path runs along the top, lined with cafes, bookshops, Ayurveda centres and small guesthouses, and the sunset views from here are among the best in Kerala. Walk the length of the cliff in the late afternoon and stay for dinner with the sound of the waves below.

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.

The trip starts on Hosur Road and the Electronic City flyover, crossing into Tamil Nadu at Attibele, where the first interstate permit is checked. Hosur, the Little England of the British era, is now a busy manufacturing town. Beyond it, NH44 opens into a fast highway to Krishnagiri, the Mango Capital of South India, where orchards line the road and highway restaurants serve the first proper breakfast of the trip. Elapsed time: about one hour forty-five minutes.

The highway continues through granite hills past Dharmapuri, the turn-off for Hogenakkal Falls, and down the short Thoppur ghat into Salem, the Steel City of Tamil Nadu, with the Shevaroy Hills and Yercaud on the skyline. The Salem bypass keeps you clear of city traffic, and this is a good point for a short coffee halt. Elapsed time: about three hours thirty minutes.

South of Salem the road passes Namakkal, the Egg City of India, whose Anjaneyar Temple has an 18-foot Hanuman standing in the open air at the foot of a rock fort. Karur follows, the Home Textile Capital of India, where factories export bed linen, curtains and towels around the world and outlets sell export surplus at low prices. Elapsed time: about five hours.

A straightforward run brings you to Madurai, the Temple City and City of Jasmine, known for Madurai Malli, the fragrant jasmine sold in huge quantities at the flower market. The Meenakshi Amman Temple, with its fourteen towering gopurams, is one of the great temples of India, and the evening ceremony is unforgettable. Breaking the journey here turns an exhausting single-day drive into a comfortable two-day trip. Elapsed time: about eight hours with halts.

Day two begins on the road south-west past Srivilliputhur, famous for its Palkova milk sweet and the Andal Temple, whose tower appears on the emblem of the Tamil Nadu government. Rajapalayam, known for the Rajapalayam hound and its cotton mills, follows, with the Western Ghats rising close by. Tenkasi, the Kasi of the South, is named after its Kasi Viswanathar Temple, and Courtallam Falls lie just a few kilometres away, at their best from June to September. Elapsed time on day two: about three hours.

The road descends through rubber and cashew plantations to Kollam, the Cashew Capital of the World, whose processing units have exported cashews for more than a century, and whose Ashtamudi Lake is the gateway to Kerala's backwaters. From Kollam the final stretch runs along the coast through Paravur, with glimpses of the sea, into Varkala, Dakshina Kashi and the Cliff Town of Kerala. Your driver drops you at your resort on the cliff or in the town. Elapsed time on day two: about six hours thirty minutes to seven hours.










Built around a week of rest, with Ayurveda, yoga or surfing on the cliff and the car available for excursions. A varkala tour package from bangalore can include the Madurai halt on the way and a Kovalam or Kanyakumari extension on the way back.
An Innova or Innova Crysta seats six to seven with room for luggage, and the driver paces both days around meals, children and elders. Families who want extra comfort often choose our innova hycross rent bangalore option, which makes a two-day drive far more comfortable.
Combines Sivagiri, the Janardhana Swamy Temple and Papanasam with the Meenakshi Temple at Madurai and the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple at Thiruvananthapuram, about 50 kilometres from Varkala. The same car and driver stay with you throughout.
For offsites and leadership retreats at Varkala's cliff resorts, with GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval, a named driver and consolidated monthly billing. Our corporate travels desk manages it end to end.
For couples, friends and small families, an Etios or Dzire from Rs 14 per km is the most economical way to cover the 720 kilometres, with a clean air-conditioned car and a verified driver.
For honeymoons, anniversaries and special occasions, choose from the Fortuner, Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class or Rolls-Royce Ghost. A higher advance may apply for prestige models.

Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |

The bangalore to varkala distance is approximately 720 kilometres via Salem, Madurai, Tenkasi, Punalur and Kollam, which works out to 14 to 15 hours of driving. We strongly recommend splitting it across two days with an overnight halt at Madurai.
Fares start from Rs 15 per km for an Etios or Dzire, Rs 20 per km for an Innova and Rs 22 per km for an Innova Crysta, with luxury models quoted on request. The fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll and parking, interstate tax for Tamil Nadu and Kerala, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged extra, and the final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. You can pay by UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, net banking, or credit and debit card through a payment link. The balance is settled at trip end.
The Madurai–Tenkasi–Punalur route is shorter at about 720 kilometres and passes through beautiful ghat country with lighter traffic. The Coimbatore–Kochi–Alappuzha route is about 760 kilometres and slower through the busy Kerala coastal towns, but it suits travellers who want to stop at Kochi or the backwaters. Our driver will advise based on your plans.
Yes. The route crosses from Karnataka into Tamil Nadu at Attibele and from Tamil Nadu into Kerala at Aryankavu, so interstate tax applies for both states. It is billed at actuals rather than built into the per-km rate, and our driver handles the formalities at both borders.
Both are possible. A one way cab bangalore to varkala is quoted on the garage-to-garage basis, so the return run is factored into the price. Most travellers book a round trip cab bangalore to varkala, keeping the same car and driver for sightseeing, day trips to Trivandrum or Kollam and the drive home.
October to March is the best season for Varkala, with calm seas and clear sunsets. We plan both driving days to finish in daylight; if driving continues past 9:45 PM, an additional driver bata applies. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel date, pickup location, number of passengers and preferred vehicle, and a written quote follows within 2 hours.
A small advance of around 20 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
