The Bahubali of 1604
Thirty-five feet of granite carved from a single block and raised by Timmanna Ajila IV, standing in an open enclosure with the hills behind and the Phalguni below. It is the smallest of the Karnataka monoliths and by a considerable distance the least visited - there is no queue, no ticketing infrastructure, and on an ordinary weekday morning you may well be the only person there. Visit early. Half an hour is enough, and the quiet is the thing you will remember rather than the scale.

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.

Minibus Packages for the Bangalore to Venur Route
Corporate Package
Built for Bangalore IT and manufacturing teams heading to the coast for offsites, team trips and CSR visits, and increasingly for groups combining a Dharmasthala visit with a Mangalore plant or client meeting. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full multi-day trip and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate minibus bangalore vehicle stays with the team across the Venur, Dharmasthala and Moodbidri legs, with duty slips signed daily and reconciled against the final invoice. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end.
Family and Pilgrimage Package
The most common booking on this corridor. Usually a four to six day circuit taking in Shravanabelagola, Venur, Dharmasthala, Moodbidri, Karkala and often Udupi or Kollur, built around temple timings and a driver who accepts that a family will spend three hours inside a temple complex and needs the vehicle waiting when they emerge. Luggage capacity is the deciding advantage on a week-long trip: a 20 seater takes what four cabs would struggle with. Jain family and trust groups on this route are frequently fifteen to twenty-four people, which is exactly the band this fleet covers.
Budget Package
For groups where cost per head decides the booking. Non-AC 12 to 17 seater mini buses, point to point, no frills, clean vehicle, verified driver — suited to college groups, community associations and pilgrimage parties. The mini bus rate per km in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest, and across a 345 kilometre one-way run the saving over a full group is substantial. The Ghat road is cool enough for most of the year that non-AC is a reasonable choice here in a way it is not on a Tamil Nadu route. The budget tier is about vehicle specification only — maintenance, driver vetting and statutory compliance do not vary by tier.
Luxury and Executive Package
Executive mini coach configuration with fewer, wider push-back seats, extra legroom, better sound insulation and premium interiors. On a Ghat descent the suspension and seat quality are a mechanical difference rather than a cosmetic one. Suited to senior management travel, milestone family trips and trust or committee groups that want to arrive unruffled. For a step further, our luxury urbania rental bangalore option in 13 to 17 seater configuration runs the same corridor.
Our Minibus Fleet in Bangalore
Our ac minibus rental bangalore fleet covers 12, 14, 17, 20 and 24 seater configurations. We operate the full range of group vehicles from one Bangalore base, so if your headcount shifts after booking we can usually move you up or down a category without restarting the process.
• Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, AC and non-AC, the core vehicle for this route
• Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, for smaller groups on the same corridor
• Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches, though full-size coaches cannot use Charmadi Ghat and must approach Venur via Shiradi
• Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van
• Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, Fortuner and Commuter through Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost
Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route we plan a daytime run with a hotel halt rather than overnight driving through Charmadi, which is both more comfortable and considerably safer.
Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra
We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so nothing appears for the first time at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking.
Included in the Quoted Fare
• Base fare and fuel charges
• Driver allowance
Not Included — Billed Separately at Actuals
• Toll charges and parking fees
• Interstate tax, where an itinerary crosses into another state
• Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM
• GST as applicable
• Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage
The Venur route stays inside Karnataka throughout, so no interstate permit applies unless the itinerary extends into Kerala or Goa. The garage-to-garage basis is standard across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore: the meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup point and ends when it returns. It is factored into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.

What Our Customers Say About Our Minibus Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Venur Minibus
The bangalore to venur distance is approximately 345 kilometres via NH75 and Charmadi Ghat, through Hassan, Belur, Mudigere and Ujire. Allow 7.5 to 8.5 hours including halts. There is a second approach via Shiradi Ghat and Guruvayanakere at roughly 350 kilometres, which we use when Charmadi is closed or when a full-size coach is booked. Leaving Bangalore by 5:30 AM puts a group at the Bahubali statue in good afternoon light.
Pricing starts from Rs 21,400. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Charged separately at actuals are toll and parking, interstate tax if the itinerary leaves Karnataka, additional driver bata after 9:45 PM, and GST. Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every charge appears as a line item in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and guarantees the specific mini bus variant on your travel date. The advance must be paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card. A receipt is issued within 30 minutes and the balance is settled at trip end after deducting the advance.
Yes. A 12 to 24 seater mini bus handles Charmadi comfortably, which is the main practical advantage it has over a full-size coach on this route — 45 and 50 seater buses cannot use the Ghat and must go the long way via Shiradi. From June to September the surface can be poor in patches and landslip closures do occur. Our drivers check conditions at Mudigere before committing to the descent, take it slowly, and re-route via Shiradi if the Ghat is shut, informing you the same day.
No. The entire route stays within Karnataka, so no interstate permit or border tax applies. A permit only becomes relevant if you extend the itinerary — into Kerala or Goa, for example. In those cases we arrange the documentation before departure and bill it at actuals.
Venur is a village, and the statue, the basadis and the Mahalingeshwara temple can be covered in three to four hours. What justifies the trip is the surroundings: Dharmasthala is 30 kilometres away, Moodbidri 20 and Karkala 30, and three of Karnataka’s five great Bahubali monoliths sit inside that triangle. Most groups plan two to three days in the area and use Ujire, Belthangady or Moodbidri as the overnight base. Venur has very limited accommodation of its own.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route we plan a daytime run with a hotel halt rather than driving Charmadi Ghat at night, which is both more comfortable and safer. We can suggest halt options at Hassan, Ujire or Moodbidri when you share your itinerary.
Our minibus hire bangalore fleet covers 12, 14, 17, 20 and 24 seater configurations in AC and non-AC. Under twelve passengers, an 8 to 18 seater tempo traveller is usually more economical. Above twenty-four we operate 27 to 50 seater buses including Volvo and Benz coaches, though those cannot use Charmadi Ghat. We recommend the right size based on your headcount and luggage when you enquire.
Yes, and this is how most groups book it. The same vehicle and driver stay with you throughout, covering Venur, Dharmasthala, Moodbidri, Karkala and Jamalabad Fort, plus onward legs to Udupi, Mangalore, Sringeri or Kollur. Multi-day bookings are billed on total kilometres and hours with a per-day minimum plus driver allowance. Share your day-wise itinerary at enquiry stage and we quote the whole trip in one number.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days; between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 percent, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, and between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent. Multi-day circuits including Venur need a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund. Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover, and passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if they wish to be covered; all vehicles carry valid insurance and full statutory compliance, and every driver is verified with a commercial licence and route experience. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel date, Bangalore pickup location, group size and day-wise itinerary. A written itemised quote follows within 2 hours; confirm it, pay the 20 percent advance, and you receive driver details, vehicle registration and the full billing breakdown in writing. Our mini bus booking online and WhatsApp enquiry lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
