Sripuram Golden Temple
The single biggest reason travellers make the trip from Bangalore to Vellore is the Sripuram Golden Temple, officially the Sri Lakshmi Narayani Golden Temple, dedicated to the goddess Mahalakshmi. Spread across roughly one hundred acres at the foot of a small hill range, the temple's main shrine is coated in more than a thousand kilograms of gold leaf, arranged in intricate hand inscribed patterns drawn from Vedic tradition. Visitors walk along a winding, gold plated pathway through the spiritual park before reaching the sanctum, and the entire complex is particularly striking in the soft light of early morning or evening. A modest dress code applies, and mobile phones and cameras are restricted inside certain sections, so it is worth checking current guidelines before you go.

Bangalore
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.

Hosur
Industrial gateway town
Hosur, just across the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu border, is one of the first major towns on this route and is known for its automobile and electronics manufacturing units. The stretch from Bangalore to Hosur is usually the most congested part of the journey due to city outskirts traffic, so most drivers prefer to clear this section early to keep the rest of the drive on schedule.

Shoolagiri
Highway junction town
Shoolagiri is a small but important junction town where the highway splits towards Krishnagiri and further south towards Dharmapuri, making it a useful landmark for tracking your progress on this route. A handful of roadside eateries here make it a convenient quick stop for tea or a snack before continuing on towards Krishnagiri.

Krishnagiri
Mango town and dam views
Krishnagiri is well known across South India for its mango orchards and is often called the mango city of Tamil Nadu, with roadside stalls selling fresh mangoes and juices in season. The Krishnagiri Dam, visible from parts of the highway, adds a scenic backdrop to this stretch, and the town marks a convenient point for a short break roughly midway through the journey.

Vaniyambadi
Leather and tannery town
Vaniyambadi is one of India's key centres for leather tanning and footwear manufacturing, and the town's economy is closely tied to this industry, with numerous tanneries and leather export units visible along the highway. It is also known locally for its distinctive biryani, and travellers often make a short food stop here before the final stretch into Vellore.

Ambur
Ambur - Biryani and Leather Town
Ambur, much like neighbouring Vaniyambadi, is closely associated with leather manufacturing, but it is even more widely known across South India for Ambur biryani, a distinct style of biryani made with short grain seeraga samba rice that has earned a loyal following well beyond Tamil Nadu. Most travellers on this route make it a point to stop here for a proper meal, since the town's biryani stalls and restaurants are considered some of the best on the entire Bangalore to Vellore corridor.

Gudiyatham
Weaving town near the Palar river
Gudiyatham, a smaller town along the banks of the Palar river, is historically known for handloom weaving and continues to host a modest textile trade. The stretch from here into Vellore is short, and the landscape shifts to a more urban character as you approach the town, with increasing traffic near the city limits.

Vellore
Destination - fort, temple and medical hub
The final stretch into Vellore passes the outskirts of the town before reaching the main areas around the fort, the railway station and Christian Medical College. Depending on your itinerary, your driver can drop you directly at Sripuram Golden Temple, the fort, your hotel or the hospital, keeping in mind that traffic near CMC Hospital and the old bus stand can get heavy during peak hours. From here, your visit to the temple, fort and other Vellore attractions can begin.

Minibus Packages for the Vellore Route
All four packages use the same fleet of 17, 21, 26 and 35 seater vehicles. Every package is quoted in writing before you pay anything, with the Tamil Nadu permit shown as a separate line.
Medical Travel Package
For families travelling to Christian Medical College, a substantial share of the traffic on this road. The practical differences are timing and patience. Departures are set from your appointment time and are usually very early. The driver waits for as long as the day takes rather than to a schedule, and the return leg is confirmed on the day. Step access, wheelchair stowage and a drop as close to the entrance as vehicle rules permit are arranged in advance if you tell us what is needed. Where the stay runs to several days the vehicle can be released and recalled, or held, whichever costs less. Open-return arrangements are quoted plainly so there is nothing to work out while you are dealing with something else.
Pilgrimage Package
For temple committees and family groups covering Sripuram, often combined with Tirupati, Kanchipuram or Tiruvannamalai over two or three days. Standard or Executive AC minibus, departure timed for a morning arrival at the Golden Temple, and luggage space planned for prasada, garlands and puja materials rather than improvised. Drivers briefed on the Sripuram approach, the barefoot walk and the phone and camera restrictions, so the group knows what to leave in the vehicle before they get out of it. Where the itinerary includes Tirupati, the Andhra Pradesh permit is arranged alongside the Tamil Nadu one.
Education and Campus Package
For VIT parent visits, admission season, convocation and student move-in or move-out, all of which produce heavy luggage and fixed timings. Standard AC 21 seater mini bus rental Bangalore or 26 seater mini bus Bangalore with a proper luggage bay, a single Bengaluru pickup point agreed in advance, and arrival timed against the campus schedule rather than the distance.

What Our Customers Say About Our Minibus Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Vellore Minibus
The Bangalore to Vellore distance is about 212 km via NH44 to Krishnagiri and then NH46 through Vaniyambadi, Ambur and Pallikonda. A minibus takes 4 to 4.5 hours with one halt. Leaving Bengaluru after 8 am on a weekday adds around forty-five minutes before you clear Hosur Road, which is why early departures are standard on this route.
Yes, and it is one of our most common bookings on this road. Tell us the appointment time and we set the departure from it, usually leaving Bengaluru between 3.30 and 4.30 am for a morning slot. The driver waits for as long as the day takes rather than to a fixed schedule, and the return leg is confirmed on the day. If anyone in the group needs step access, wheelchair stowage or a drop as close to the entrance as vehicle rules allow, say so at booking and it is arranged in advance.
We move the booking to the new date at no penalty, subject to fleet availability, and if you would rather cancel we refund the advance in full. This is the one category where we do not apply the standard tiered cancellation charges, because the change is not within your control. Let us know as soon as you have the new date.
A Bangalore to Vellore mini bus rental starts from around Rs 14,040 for a 12-seater Standard AC vehicle on a single-day round trip, and around Rs 26,000 for two days, based on Rs 42 per km against the daily kilometre minimum, before the Tamil Nadu permit, toll and GST. Larger 26 and 35 seaters and Executive or Luxury specifications are quoted higher. You receive an itemised written quote within two hours.
Comfortably. Leave Bengaluru around 5 am, reach Sripuram by about 9.30, and you have the whole morning for darshan and the walk in and out. Adding Vellore Fort in the afternoon still gets you home by early evening. A vellore one day trip from Bangalore is one of the more workable day trips we run, provided you accept an early start. Two days lets you add Ratnagiri, Amirthi or a night at Yelagiri.
There is a dress code, you walk the approach path barefoot, and phones and cameras are restricted inside the complex, so leave them in the vehicle rather than finding out at the entrance. Darshan runs through the day and there are separate queues. Timings and rules are set by the trust and are revised from time to time, so confirm current sripuram golden temple timings before you build the day around a specific slot. Our drivers brief the group on what to leave behind before anyone gets out.
Yes. Vellore is in Tamil Nadu, so a Karnataka-registered commercial vehicle needs a Tamil Nadu permit. Tejas Travels files it before departure and bills it at actual cost as a separate line. It is excluded from the base fare, which is why quotes on interstate routes need comparing carefully. Once filed, the permit cost is non-refundable if you cancel.
Included: base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Excluded: toll and parking, inter-state tax and the Tamil Nadu permit, additional driver bata after 9.45 pm, and GST. Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from garage to garage against the daily minimum. Everything is itemised in the written quote before you pay the advance.
Yes, and most pilgrimage groups do. Tirupati is about 110 km north, Kanchipuram around 70 km east and Tiruvannamalai roughly 85 km south, so a two or three day circuit covering Sripuram and one or two of the others is straightforward. If Tirupati is included, an Andhra Pradesh permit applies alongside the Tamil Nadu one and both appear on the quote. Mention the full itinerary at enquiry so the routing is built for it.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance, and passengers are advised to arrange their own cover. The standard driver allowance is included in the quoted fare, but an additional driver bata applies after 9.45 pm. On this route it comes up mainly on day trips that leave Vellore late, and on open-ended hospital days where the return depends on when you are free. It is priced at the agreed rate rather than added arbitrarily.
