Pickup from home
The tempo traveller comes to your gate at 5:30 am for a one day run to Vijayawada; with a night at Tirupati, 7 am is fine. Load the function bags the night before, behind the last row. The route is NH75 through Kolar and Chittoor to Tirupati, then the coastal road to Nellore and NH16 north. A 640 km day is long for children, so carry pillows, snacks and water. The first proper halt is breakfast at Palamaner.
Out of the city
The van rolls through Hoskote, 30 km out, before the town wakes, and pays the NH75 toll. The new Chennai expressway also starts at Hoskote, but the van stays on the national highway towards Kolar and the Andhra border. Children can sleep through the first hour. Hoskote dum biryani is a favourite with many families on the drive back, when the queues are shorter. Elders can recline and rest until Kolar.
Restroom halt
A ten minute restroom halt near Kolar, 70 km out, at a fuel station on the bypass. Kolar is the district headquarters, known for its milk, so a glass of milk for the children is easy to find. The Kolaramma temple, the seat of the town goddess, is a short way into town, better kept for the return. The next stretch to the border at Mulbagal is about half an hour.
Breakfast
Family breakfast at Palamaner, 140 km out, the first big Andhra town. The van parks close to the door, and Andhra tiffin comes out quickly; keep half an hour. Palamaner, at about 683 m, is still cool in the morning. Grape gardens are seen around it, and the forests nearby are the Kaundinya Wildlife Sanctuary, the only one in Andhra Pradesh with Asian elephants. The road then drops towards Chittoor.
Through Chittoor
The van goes round Chittoor, 180 km out, on the bypass. Chittoor is a district headquarters on NH69 and NH40, and its big festival, the Gangamma Jatara, fills the town. Mango orchards spread across the district, and in the summer season the fruit stalls by the road are hard to pass. Tirupati is about 70 km on, where the family has lunch or stops for the night. Ask the children to finish their snacks before Tirupati.
Lunch or overnight
At Tirupati, 250 km out, the family either has lunch and drives on, or stays the night and leaves early the next day. For the night, the town has hotels and lodges of every size. Kapila Theertham, a Shiva temple and theertham run by TTD, is in the town itself. Carry home the Tirupati laddu, which only TTD makes. On a one day trip, keep the halt to forty five minutes.
Short darshan
Srikalahasti, 290 km out, is an optional halt for families who want a short darshan. The temple honours Shiva as Vayu, the wind, one of the Pancha Bhoota sthalams, and is known for the Rahu Ketu pooja. Its tall gopuram fell in 2010 and was rebuilt in its old form. The town also makes Kalamkari cloth, hand painted cotton that children find fun to watch. From here the road heads north to Nellore.
Tea break
Nellore, 385 km out, is the tea and restroom halt, a good place for elders to walk a little. The city is known for its rice, and its name is linked to nellu, paddy. Nellore fish curry, chepala pulusu, is the famous dish for those who want an early dinner. Malai kaja, the local sweet, packs well. From here the six lane NH16 runs north most of the way, so the van moves faster.
Snack stop
Ongole, 505 km out, is famous for its cattle breed, and the highway hotels here serve spicy Andhra snacks. A short break with restrooms, about fifteen minutes, then about three hours left to Vijayawada. Children can stretch their legs. Ongole is the Prakasam district headquarters on the coastal plain, hot and humid in summer. The Valluramma temple at Valluru is about 11 km away. Swap seats here if anyone feels carsick.
Through
The van passes Chilakaluripet, 575 km out, on NH16. Guntur is about 40 km ahead and Narasaraopet about 21 km to the side. Kotappakonda, the hill shrine of Trikoteswara Swamy with three peaks, is about 17 to 20 km away and draws huge crowds on Maha Shivaratri. Wake the sleepers, as Vijayawada is about an hour and a half away, and get the hotel address ready for the driver. Ask for the hotel pin on the phone.
Hotel drop
A tempo traveller takes about 13 hours of driving. The van drops you at the hotel or the relatives' house in Vijayawada and stays for the city runs. Andhra meals with gongura are the standard here. Kondapalli, about 20 km away, makes the GI tagged wooden toys that children love, and the Kondapalli fort stands on the hill range there. In summer the Nunna mango market is busy with the season's fruit.

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 640 km from Bangalore by NH75 to Kolar and Chittoor, then Tirupati, Srikalahasti, Nellore and Ongole, so about 1,280 km both ways. A tempo traveller takes about 13 hours in one long day, or two days with a night at Tirupati.
5 days at 1500 km and ₹24/km make ₹36,000. Driver allowance ₹500 a day, tolls and GST extra.
Yes, about 13 hours of driving. With children, a Tirupati halt is easier.
The 17 seater. See tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes, by the ghat road, with the usual checks at Alipiri.
Only if needed. Paid at the check post and billed at cost.
November to February is the easiest. April to June is very hot on the coastal stretch from Nellore to Vijayawada, so leave early and rest at lunch. The coast gets its rain from June to November, and late season cyclones can close roads for a day; the driver checks the weather before leaving.
Behind the last row, one soft bag per person. Function clothes travel best flat on top of the bags, and gifts on the floor in front of the last row. For an overnight at Tirupati, keep one small bag per family on top, so the main bags stay packed till Vijayawada.
