Home pickup
The tempo traveller reaches your gate at 6:30 am. A Traveller stands about 2.55 m tall, so it cannot enter most apartment basements; please wait at the main gate with the bags and pooja items. For a family of 12 or 16, one pickup point keeps the start on time. Seat the elders in the front rows, where the ride is smoother. The van goes out by Tumkur Road and then the Hassan highway, and the whole run to Yediyur is about 95 km.

Join NH75
At Nelamangala, about 25 km out, the van turns off NH48 onto NH75. Nelamangala is a taluk town with a railway station on the Hassan line, and the hill temple of Mahima Ranganatha Swamy at Mahimapura has about 300 stone steps, but that is a separate outing. On a temple morning we keep moving while the road is empty. The driver fills fuel here if needed, and anyone who wants the restroom can use the pump. Kunigal is about 45 km ahead.

Restroom for children
Solur is a roadside village on NH75 about 50 km from Bangalore. There are tea stalls and little else, so treat it as a ten minute stretch for the children if they have been sitting quietly since dawn. The van pulls onto the shoulder and stays in sight. Kunigal, with its lake and the old stud farm that Tipu Sultan set up for war horses, comes about 20 km later. Families who are fasting can wait in the van while the others have tea.

Breakfast for the group
Kunigal, about 70 km out, is where the group eats. Some highway hotels do a mini combo of upma, bisibele bath and a sweet, which serves a dozen people quickly, along with the usual idli and dosa. The old Kunigal stud farm on the edge of town, about 400 acres, still breeds racehorses, and you see its fields from the road. A tempo traveller parks at the hotel front without fuss. Keep 25 minutes. Yediyur is about 25 km away on a smaller road.

Temple street
The van reaches Yediyur in about two hours and drops the group near the temple street. Flowers, coconuts and pooja items are sold at the stalls there, and a few small eateries serve meals and prasada. Footwear stays in the van. Yediyur is a small town at about 743 m, and the van parks a short walk from the gate on normal days. On the yearly festival days the street fills up, so the walk is longer. Keep about an hour for darshan with a family group.
A family visit to Yediyur, 10 to 15 of you, maybe for a vow or a naming ceremony? The Bangalore to Yediyur Tempo Traveller details follow: the road, family halts and rates per size. A tempo traveller picks everyone up from home and waits at the temple while you finish. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Yediyur is about 95 km from Bangalore by Nelamangala, Solur and Kunigal, which makes about 190 km there and back. The tolled highway is wide and smooth up to Kunigal, and the last 25 km is a smaller road. A tempo traveller takes about 2 hours each way with one stop, so a family can do the pooja and be home by afternoon.
One 300 km day at ₹24/km is ₹7,200. Add ₹500 allowance, tolls and GST.
Yes. Most families are back in Bangalore by afternoon.
The 17 seater. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
Yes. It usually fits in the 300 km day.
Small eateries near the temple, or highway hotels at Kunigal on the way back.
Leaving the city is the slow part. On long weekends the Nelamangala toll plaza has had queues of more than 500 m on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Coming back, police have reported about 4.2 km of jam on Tumkur Road into the city. For a weekend pooja, start before 6 am and try to be back before Sunday evening.
Seat the elders in the first two rows, where getting in and out is easy and the ride is gentler. Children sit by the windows behind them. Carry water and light snacks, because many families eat only after the pooja. The van has space at the back for the pooja items and a change of clothes, so nobody holds bags on their lap.
