Apartment gate
The tempo traveller is at your gate by 6 am. It stands taller than a basement allows, so bags are loaded at the entrance. For a family of ten to twenty with children, pack a small bag of snacks for the first two hours; breakfast is at Krishnagiri. The Electronic City elevated road lets the van skip the Bommanahalli signals. Tell us if a relative joins on Hosur Road, and we fix that point the evening before.
Tamil Nadu entry
About 40 km from Bangalore, after the Attibele toll, the van halts at the Tamil Nadu check post near Hosur. The driver handles the papers, and number plate cameras confirm the road tax, so the halt is short. Hosur grows roses on a big scale, and lorries of flowers pass you early in the morning. The Kelavarapalli dam, about 10 km off, is a picnic spot for another day. Krishnagiri is the next stop.
Family breakfast
At Krishnagiri, roughly 90 km from Bangalore, the family breaks for breakfast at a highway hotel with van parking. Twenty five minutes covers idli, pongal and the restroom. The Avathanapatti lake and children's park lies about 5 km away on the highway, a place to stretch legs on the return. In mango season the stalls here are hard to resist. After this the van turns onto NH48, the Vellore road.
No stop
Vaniyambadi, about 150 km out, slips past without a halt. The highway is wide here and the van keeps an even pace. Vaniyambadi biryani is well known, but the family lunch is planned at Ambur, a few minutes ahead. The Javadi hills rise to the south, and in October to December the area gets most of its rain. If anyone feels unwell on the road, the driver can stop at a fuel pump here.
Family lunch
Ambur comes about 165 km out and is the lunch stop. Ask for a hotel with seating for the whole family together. Ambur biryani, rich with meat, is the reason most groups halt here, and vegetarian meals are available too. Allow forty minutes. Ambur sits on the Palar river roughly halfway between Bangalore and Chennai. Vellore is about 45 km ahead, so the children can nap after lunch and wake at the fort.
Arrive at the fort
The van reaches Vellore in about four hours of driving. The driver drops the family at the fort gate and waits nearby. Tea shops and simple meals places line the roads around, handy for elders who want to sit while the children explore. Vellore gets very hot in summer, so carry caps and water. If you are staying the night, the hotels near the bus stand by the Palar bridge are within a short drive.

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. 👍

About 210 km from Bangalore to Vellore Fort through Hosur, Krishnagiri, Vaniyambadi and Ambur, so about 420 km both ways. A tempo traveller takes about four hours of driving, with breakfast and lunch on top. Starting at 6 am, a family reaches the fort by early afternoon.
Two days, 600 km at ₹24/km: ₹14,400. Driver allowance ₹500/day a day. Tolls, permit and GST extra.
Yes. Leave by 6 am, back by late night. It is still billed as two days.
The 17 seater. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
At ₹34/km, ₹20,400 for 600 km.
In the van with the driver, or at the deposit counter.
Not much. September is Vellore's wettest month and the northeast monsoon adds showers later in the year, but the highway drains well and rain usually comes in short bursts. Keep umbrellas in the van and a change of clothes for the children. The bigger issue is summer heat from April to June.
Yes. Leave Vellore after an early dinner and the children usually sleep most of the four hour drive. Seats recline a little in a tempo traveller; bring a small pillow and a shawl, as the AC gets cool at night. The driver keeps one tea halt at Krishnagiri.
