Two pickups
Two pickup points at most for the mini bus. The trip runs over two days: about 250 km to Tirupati on day one with a night there, and the rest to Vijayawada on day two. A 5:30 am start gives the group time in Tirupati in the afternoon. Gifts and wedding bags go in first, with an overnight bag per person on top. The route is NH75 through Kolar and Chittoor.
Through Hoskote
The mini bus is through Hoskote, 30 km out, before the traffic starts and pays the NH75 toll. The town is famous for its morning biryani, but for a group of twenty the first halt is near Kolar. NH75 has interchanges near Hoskote and bypasses Kolar town further on, which keeps the drive smooth. A good time for everyone to rest. Elders in the front rows can sleep till Kolar.
Tea halt
A tea and washroom halt near Kolar, 70 km out, at a place on the bypass with room for a mini bus. The group is back on board in fifteen minutes. Kolar is the district headquarters; the Kolaramma temple, built by the Talakadu Gangas and later developed by the Cholas, is in town for the return. KGF lies about 30 km to the south east. Ask the group to use the restroom here, as the next halt is breakfast.
Breakfast
Breakfast near Palamaner, 140 km out, after the border. Twenty people are served quickly at the highway places, and parking is easy. Palamaner is cool, at about 683 m, with grape gardens around it. Kaigal waterfalls, about 28 km away inside the Kaundinya sanctuary, are best in the rains. Keep half an hour and count heads. The driver tops up fuel while the group eats. Elders can sit in the shade while the group eats.
Through Chittoor
The mini bus goes round Chittoor, 180 km out. The town is a district headquarters at the crossing of NH69 and NH40, and Ardhagiri Anjaneya temple at Aragonda is about 20 km away. In mango season the stalls along the road sell fruit by the box. Tirupati, the night halt, is about 70 km on, so the group arrives by early afternoon. Count heads before the bus moves. Fruit sellers line the road in May and June.
Night halt
Day one ends at Tirupati, 250 km from Bangalore. Book rooms for twenty in advance; the town has many hotels and lodges, and the mini bus parks in the hotel yard. The Tarigonda Vengamamba Annaprasadam complex on the hill serves free meals to pilgrims. The Tirupati laddu, made only by TTD, is the thing to carry home. Day two starts early for the long run north. The driver rests well for the long second day.
Morning tea
The first halt on day two is Srikalahasti, 290 km from Bangalore, for tea. The town has the Vayu linga temple, one of the Pancha Bhoota sthalams, and is a centre of Kalamkari, hand painted and block printed cotton; the shops open later, so shopping fits the return. The main gopuram, which collapsed in 2010, was rebuilt as it was. Fifteen minutes, then north to Nellore. Ask the group to be on time for the early start.
Breakfast
Breakfast at Nellore, 385 km out, where the wide NH16 takes over. The city is on the Penna river and is known for rice, malai kaja and its fish curry, chepala pulusu, for those who want a meal later. The mini bus moves faster on this road. Highway hotels near the bypass have space for the bus. Keep 30 minutes and count heads. Tell the group the lunch time at Ongole.
Lunch
Ongole, 505 km out, is known for the Ongole bull, and the highway hotels serve spicy Andhra meals. Lunch for the group here, forty minutes, then about two and a half hours left. The mini bus parks easily in the wide hotel yards on NH16. Ongole is the Prakasam district headquarters, hot and humid on the coastal plain. Refill the water bottles before the last stretch. Elders should drink water here.
Tea halt
A last tea halt at Chilakaluripet, 575 km out, right on NH16. Guntur is about 40 km ahead and Narasaraopet about 21 km to the side. Kotappakonda, the three peaked hill of Trikoteswara Swamy, is about 17 to 20 km away and very crowded on Maha Shivaratri. Keep fifteen minutes and count heads before the last hour to Vijayawada. Collect the room keys list for Vijayawada now. Get the hotel address ready.
Drop at hotel
About 14 hours of driving over two days. The mini bus drops the group at the hotel or the venue in Vijayawada and stays for local runs. Andhra meals with gongura are standard here. Kondapalli, about 20 km away, is known for its GI tagged wooden toys and its old hill fort, a good outing for a group on a free afternoon. The Nunna market is busy in mango season.
Taking 15 to 25 relatives or colleagues to Vijayawada, maybe for a wedding? Read on for the Bangalore to Vijayawada Mini Bus route, where we stop and what each size costs. A mini bus keeps everyone together on the long NH16 drive and costs less than a full coach. Tejas Tours & Travels gives mini bus on rent in Bangalore for interstate trips.

About 640 km one way by NH75 to Kolar and Chittoor, then Tirupati, Srikalahasti, Nellore and Ongole, so about 1,280 km for the round trip. A mini bus needs about 14 hours of driving, split over two days with a night at Tirupati.
5 days at 1500 km and ₹36/km make ₹54,000. Add ₹700 a day allowance, tolls and GST.
The 20 seater. See mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. It is on the route both ways.
Only if needed, paid at the Andhra check post at cost.
Yes. The daily allowance covers his food and stay.
November to February is cool and easy. April to June is very hot on the coastal stretch, so the group should travel early on both days. The coast gets rain from June to November, and late season cyclones can stop traffic for a day; the driver watches the forecast.
One small overnight bag on top in the rear boot, with clothes, toiletries and medicines, so the big bags stay packed until Vijayawada. Carry water and snacks for the bus. The group leader keeps the room list for Tirupati. Name one leader for every ten people.
