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.

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Bangalore to Vellore Route
Four package structures covering the same 212 kilometre route, differing in vehicle class, schedule and billing format.
Corporate Package
Vellore and the Ranipet-Sriperumbudur industrial belt draw a steady stream of Bengaluru business travel, and this package covers plant visits, vendor audits and team movements. GST invoice against your PO, Proforma Invoice at quote stage, 30-day credit terms for registered accounts, consolidated monthly billing, and the Tamil Nadu permit handled by our team. Executive-class 17 or 20 seater units with charging points at every row, and a driver who reports to your designated coordinator. For requirements beyond a single trip, our corporate travels division handles annual contracts on the same fleet.
Family, Hospital and Temple Package
The most-booked bangalore to vellore tempo traveller package we run, covering CMC visits, Sripuram darshan and extended-family day trips. Wide-door 14 seater with lower step height for elderly passengers, driver on standby for the whole day rather than a drop-and-go, flexible timing so nobody is rushed out of a queue, and multi-day rates where a hospital visit runs across several days. Tell us the requirement plainly at booking and we will match the vehicle and the schedule to it.
Budget and Student Package
For VIT students travelling home in groups at term end, college trips and friend circles where the per-head number decides the trip. Standard AC 12 or 17 seater, efficient single-day format, value-for-money meal halts at Vaniyambadi or Ambur. A fully occupied 17 seater brings the per-person cost below a bus ticket, with door-to-door drops across Bengaluru at the end rather than a single bus stand.
Luxury Package
Maharaja-configuration tempo traveller with recliner seats, reading lights, LED entertainment, curtains and a cooler box. On this route the upgrade is most often taken by senior family groups on pilgrimage and by companies moving visiting delegations to the Ranipet industrial belt. To go a step further, the Force Urbania with its higher roof and premium cabin is the natural upgrade.
Our Services from Bangalore and Mysore
Tejas Tours and Travels operates a full ground-transport fleet out of both Bengaluru and Mysuru. Every service listed here is available on the Vellore corridor and on every other route we cover.
For smaller parties, our premium car rentals in Bangalore cover sedans, SUVs and luxury cars for four to six passengers, and the Innova Hycross is our most requested seven seater for family trips. For groups of nine to twenty-six, the tempo traveller rent Bangalore fleet is the core of what we do, with the Force Urbania rent Bangalore range covering luxury van requirements.
Larger groups move to our mini bus in Bangalore fleet for 21 to 35 passengers, or to full-size bus rental in Bangalore for 35 to 55 — the format most college and temple groups use on this route. For premium long-distance group travel we operate a dedicated Volvo luxury bus fleet with pushback seating and onboard entertainment.
Beyond leisure travel, we run corporate travels Bangalore contracts for IT and manufacturing clients, airport transfer Bangalore services with live flight tracking for Kempegowda airport taxi pickups, structured employee transportation services Bangalore covering night shift cab service and tech park routes, and safe school transportation services for excursions and college tour bus rental — including educational visits to the observatory at Kavalur.
Our outstation cabs Bangalore division handles every long-distance vehicle booking including this Vellore route, and our wedding car rental Bangalore service supplies decorated cars and guest-transport buses for functions across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Tour packages for Vellore, Yelagiri, Tiruvannamalai, Tirupati and the wider South India circuit are available on request from both our Bengaluru and Mysuru operating bases.

How to Book a Tempo Traveller for Hire in Bangalore — Step by Step
Booking a tempo traveller for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under five minutes. Follow these four steps.
Step 1 — 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 a CMC visit, tell us the appointment date and time and whether you need the vehicle on standby for the day or for several days, and mention if anyone in the group needs a lower step height or help boarding.
• For a VIT trip, tell us whether it is move-in, move-out, convocation or a visit, and give us a rough sense of luggage volume so we assign the right 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, mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire.
Step 2 — 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 per km or flat package), driver allowance, applicable toll estimates, and the Tamil Nadu interstate permit, which does apply on this route for a Karnataka-registered vehicle.
• For multi-day hospital or campus stays, the per-day rate and driver accommodation are set out separately rather than bundled.
• No verbal-only prices. Everything is 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.
Step 3 — Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance
• Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone.
• A 20 per cent advance payment of the total fare confirms the booking.
• Payment options: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or credit and debit card via payment link.
• Advance receipt is issued within 30 minutes.
• Confirmation includes driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing.
• Demand peaks sharply around VIT convocation and semester dates, festival weekends and the Sripuram temple calendar. Book ahead for those windows.
Step 4 — 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, the Attibele border formalities and Vellore city traffic, and on standby days stays reachable and parked close by.
• At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.

What Our Customers Say About Our Tempo Traveller Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Vellore Tempo Traveller
The road distance is 212 kilometres — NH44 from Bengaluru through Hosur to Krishnagiri, then NH48 towards Chennai via Vaniyambadi and Ambur. In a tempo traveller, allow 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes including one halt. Clearing Silk Board and Electronic City before 7 am makes a substantial difference to the total.
Yes, and it is how we recommend booking a CMC visit. A day hire keeps the driver on standby for the full day rather than dropping and leaving, so your group has somewhere to sit and leave bags between appointments and can move the moment things finish. For visits running across several days, the vehicle stays with you in Vellore on a per-day basis, which is normally cheaper than separate trips.
Yes. Tell us at booking and we will assign a wide-door variant with a lower step height and brief the driver to bring the vehicle as close to the entrance as the campus or premises allows. Please note we provide transport only, not medical or nursing assistance of any kind.
For a first-day registration we normally suggest leaving around 3 am to 4 am so the group is in Vellore well before counters open, or travelling down the previous evening and staying overnight. Which suits you depends on the appointment and on who is travelling, and we will give you an honest view rather than defaulting to the longer booking.
Yes, and they are a regular part of our work on this route. Move-in and move-out are luggage problems rather than seat problems, so a 12 or 14 seater usually takes the whole load and the family in one trip with the driver waiting through the queue. Convocation brings extended families and fixed dates, so book several weeks ahead as demand spikes hard.
A 12 seater AC tempo traveller starts at Rs 11,000. The Tamil Nadu permit, toll, parking and GST are billed separately, and the final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from garage to garage.
The quoted fare includes the base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll and parking, the Tamil Nadu interstate permit, driver bata after 9:45 pm and GST are charged separately. For multi-day stays, driver accommodation is arranged and shown separately in the quote. The final rental is based on total kilometres and hours calculated garage to garage. Passenger insurance is not covered by Tejas Tours and Travels.
Yes. Vellore is in Tamil Nadu, so a Karnataka-registered vehicle requires a Tamil Nadu interstate permit. Tejas Travels arranges it as part of the booking and itemizes the cost in your written quote. The driver handles the formalities at the Attibele border checkpost.
Tell us as early as you can and we will move the booking to the new date without penalty, subject to availability, rather than treating it as a cancellation. Appointments move and we would rather carry a booking forward than charge you for something outside your control.
Comfortably, for sightseeing. A 6 am departure puts you at the Sripuram Golden Temple by mid-morning, with the fort, the Jalakandeswarar temple and the museum all within the city and Ratnagiri close by. Add an Ambur biryani stop on the return and you are back in Bengaluru by evening. Hospital visits are a different matter and often need two days or more.
