Door pickup
Pickup from home, office or hotel at 6 am. With this start the Urbania can reach Vijayawada by night, or halt at Tirupati. The van is too tall for most basements, so it loads at the gate; laptops and bags ride safely in the rear boot. Business teams like the quiet cabin for calls and work on the way. The route runs on NH75 to Kolar and Chittoor, then Tirupati and NH16 up the coast, 640 km in all.
Quiet start
Leaving at 6 am, the Urbania passes Hoskote, 30 km out, before its daytime traffic builds; the town has grown into a satellite city of Bangalore. Teams sometimes pull in here for the famous biryani on the way home, but in the morning the van just pays the NH75 toll and carries on. The cabin stays quiet for anyone finishing emails. Kolar, the coffee stop, is about 40 km ahead.
Coffee
A fifteen minute coffee and restroom halt beside the Kolar bypass, 70 km out, with the van parked right at the door. Kolar heads its district, and the centre is congested, so the van does not go in. The district is known for its dairy and holds a 13 day Karaga festival every summer. Fuel and ATMs are along the bypass. The next stretch climbs to Mulbagal and the Andhra border.
Breakfast
Palamaner, 140 km out and the first sizeable Andhra town, is the breakfast halt. The Urbania parks at the door of a clean roadside hotel, and Andhra tiffin arrives quickly. The town is cool in the morning at about 683 m. The Kalyana Revu waterfall, inside the Kaundinya sanctuary north of town, is worth a visit after the rains on a slower trip. After breakfast the road drops about 40 km towards Chittoor.
Bypass
The van stays on the Chittoor bypass at 180 km. Chittoor is a district headquarters some 150 km from Chennai, with NH69 and NH40 crossing in town. At Sankranti the streets fill with decorated bulls for Kanuma, and mango pulp units line the edges of the town. There is no halt unless someone asks. Tirupati, for lunch or the night, is about 70 km on. Elders can keep resting; the road here is smooth and the next halt is lunch.
Lunch or halt
Tirupati, 250 km out, is where the team either has lunch and drives on, keeping the stop to an hour, or stays the night. The town has hotels for every budget. Vehicles from the Bangalore side come in through Chandragiri. The Tirupati laddu, the GI tagged prasadam made by TTD, is a popular gift to take home. After Tirupati the road turns north towards Srikalahasti. Business groups usually push on after a quick meal.
Drive past
North of Tirupati, the Urbania goes past Srikalahasti, 290 km out and about 25 km from Tirupati airport. The temple here was rebuilt by Rajendra Chola I in about the 11th century and carries Chola and Vijayanagara inscriptions; Shiva is worshipped in it as Vayu, the air. Kalamkari cloth is made in the town. Business groups usually drive straight past and push on towards Nellore. Shops in the town sell the cloth by the metre.
Tea
Nellore, 385 km out, is the tea break, then the six lane NH16. Nellore stands on the Penna river and was known as Vikrama Simhapuri in medieval times. Its fish curry, chepala pulusu, and its sweet, malai kaja, are both famous. The Urbania keeps a steady pace from here, and the road is good all the way north. Keep fifteen minutes. The van parks right outside the hotel. Elders can stretch their legs on the hotel verandah.
Snack
Ongole, 505 km out, is known for its cattle breed and spicy Andhra food. A short snack stop with restrooms, about fifteen minutes; about three hours to go past Guntur. Ongole is the headquarters of Prakasam district, and NH16 bypasses the town. The coastal plain here is only about 10 m above the sea, so expect humid air. Kothapatnam beach is near the town. The driver refuels here for the last leg.
Drive on
Chilakaluripet, 575 km out, sits right on NH16. The Urbania drives through without stopping. A short drive away, the hill shrine of Kotappakonda, with its three peaks, draws huge crowds on Maha Shivaratri, so traffic here can be thick that week. Narasaraopet is about 21 km off and Guntur about 40 km ahead. Vijayawada is just beyond Guntur, across the Krishna, so the team can start wrapping up the day.
Hotel or office
About 13 hours of driving. We drop at your hotel, an office or the venue in Vijayawada, and the Urbania stays for the city runs and the drive home. The city is a big mango trade hub with the Nunna market. Gandhi Hill memorial has seven stupas, a library and a planetarium. Kondapalli toys, GI tagged wooden toys, are made nearby. Andhra meals with gongura are the local lunch. Ask the hotel for parking space for a long van.

Bangalore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

About 640 km from Bangalore by NH75 to Kolar and Chittoor, then Tirupati, Srikalahasti, Nellore and Ongole, so about 1,280 km for the round trip. The Force Urbania takes about 13 hours in one day, or two days with a night at Tirupati.
5 days at 1500 km and ₹40/km is ₹60,000, any size. Add ₹700 a day allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes. It is quiet and the seats recline. Elders find it easier than a tempo traveller.
The 16 seater. See Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
We arrange them with drivers from owners we work with, at our rate.
Yes, it is on the route.
November to February. April to June is hot and humid on the coast from Nellore to Vijayawada. The coast gets rain from June to November, and late season cyclones can make the driver wait or slow down. In any season, a 6 am start keeps most of the drive out of the noon heat.
Yes. The cabin is quiet and the seats recline, so people can take calls or use laptops on the smooth NH16 stretch after Nellore. Bring power banks. Bags and laptops ride in the rear boot when not in use. A charger point is available in the cabin.
