Lepakshi and the Hanging Pillar
Around fifteen kilometres off the highway just across the Andhra border, the Veerabhadra temple at Lepakshi is one of the finest sixteenth-century Vijayanagara sites anywhere. Its celebrated hanging pillar rests fractionally clear of the floor - a cloth can be passed beneath it - and the ceilings carry the largest surviving mural on a single panel in India, showing the fourteen incarnations of Shiva in vegetable dye. Outside stands a monolithic Nandi carved from a single granite boulder, among the largest in the country. Visit in the morning. Allow ninety minutes for the temple and the Nandi, and it is easily the best short detour on any route out of Bangalore.

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.
Chikkaballapur
Gateway to Nandi Hills
This is the easiest exit from Bangalore of any route we operate. NH 44 runs north past the international airport on six lanes from the start, and the airport traffic thins out beyond Devanahalli. Our drivers aim to be past the airport before 6:15 AM on a business departure, though this route is forgiving in a way most are not - there is no gate to make and no ghat to clear in daylight. Devanahalli is worth knowing about even without stopping: Tipu Sultan was born in the fort here in 1751 and the walls and bastions still stand a short distance off the highway, largely ignored by the traffic passing the airport. Chikkaballapur follows with the Nandi Hills rising to the west - the range where the Arkavathi, Palar, Ponnaiyar, Papagni and Chitravathi all rise, which is an unusual thing for one hill to manage.

Kodikonda
Border Town of the Deccan
Fifty kilometres of fast divided highway across increasingly dry country - this is the transition from the Karnataka plateau into Rayalaseema, and the landscape thins visibly. Bagepalli is the last Karnataka town, a market centre with little to detain a traveller, and the Andhra Pradesh border follows at Kodikonda where the checkpost and toll plaza sit. The interstate permit is presented here, arranged by us in advance so it is a formality rather than a delay. For most travellers the notable thing about this stretch is how quick it is - the highway is excellent, the traffic is moderate, and a hundred and ten kilometres passes in not much over an hour. It is also where the Lepakshi turn comes up, a short distance beyond the border.
Penukonda
Second Capital of Vijayanagara
The Lepakshi turn is around fifteen kilometres off the highway and it is the single best detour available on any road out of Bangalore. The Veerabhadra temple holds the hanging pillar, the great ceiling murals and, outside, a monolithic Nandi carved from one boulder. Ninety minutes covers it properly, and on a leisure trip it should be in the plan rather than considered. Penukonda comes next, and it is two things at once. Historically it is the fortress the Vijayanagara empire retreated to after Hampi fell, with the Gagan Mahal and the hill fortifications still standing. Commercially it is now the site of a major automobile plant and the supplier belt around it, which is why a share of our bookings on this route stop here rather than continuing. For business travellers this is the destination, at around 145 kilometres and two and a half hours from Bangalore.

Anantapur
Groundnut Capital of India
Sixty kilometres of continuing excellent highway through open, dry country. This is groundnut land - the district produces more of the crop than anywhere in India - and in season the fields and the drying yards along the road make that obvious. The Puttaparthi turn comes off this stretch to the east, around forty kilometres to the ashram town. Anantapur itself is a working district headquarters rather than a tourist city: an administrative and market centre in one of the driest parts of the country, built around the Anantasagaram tank that gave it its name. It has the services a traveller needs - fuel, hotels, hospitals, food - and it is the practical base for the district, which is where the real interest lies. Our driver takes you to the confirmed address and assists with luggage. A 6:00 AM departure puts most travellers in Anantapur by around 9:30 AM.

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Anantapur Route
Nothing here is a fixed menu. Every quotation is built around group size, destination and whether you are returning the same day, but almost every enquiry on this corridor falls into one of the five shapes below.
Corporate and Same-Day Return Package
The fastest growing booking type on this route, driven by the automotive plant and supplier belt around Penukonda. The 17 and 18 seater variants take a full team or a visiting delegation, and for larger movements we run two vehicles on one schedule. We quote the day as a package with a stated hour allowance rather than as two one-way trips, because the vehicle staying with you is the point when meetings run over or a second unit gets added. Documentation is handled up front: GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for purchase-order approval, monthly consolidated billing across repeat trips and thirty-day credit terms for signed accounts. Tell us whether Penukonda or Anantapur city is your destination, because the routing and the quote differ. Our corporate travels bangalore desk handles standing arrangements.
Pilgrimage Package
For groups visiting Puttaparthi, which is the single most common leisure destination in the district and draws people from across the world. A 12 or 13 seater covers most family parties; larger groups move to the 17 or 18 seater. We plan these around the ashram timings rather than around the drive, since Prasanthi Nilayam operates its own schedule and conventions, and we advise confirming current darshan and visiting arrangements with the trust before travelling. For groups combining Puttaparthi with Lepakshi and Penukonda, a two-day itinerary works far better than compressing all three into one day, and it costs less than most people assume.
Heritage Day Trip Package
The version of this route we would recommend to any group travelling for interest rather than obligation, and the one that suits school and institutional excursions best. Lepakshi and Penukonda together make one of the finest day trips available from Bangalore: a sixteenth-century temple with the largest surviving single-panel mural in India, and the fortress capital the Vijayanagara empire fled to, within forty kilometres of each other and both a short detour off excellent highway. Leave at 6:30 AM, cover both properly, and be home by evening. For a longer version, add Tadipatri and Gooty across two days, which very few visitors ever do.
Budget Package
For groups where the priority is the lowest defensible per-head figure. This is one of the cheapest outstation days we operate for a group: the highway is excellent so there is no case for a vehicle upgrade on the drive itself, the distance is short, and a same-day return finishes inside the driver bata threshold, which removes a charge that applies on most comparable routes. Budget means a standard AC 12 seater tempo traveller bangalore variant and a direct itinerary. It does not mean an older vehicle or a less experienced driver, since fleet and driver standards do not change between tiers.
Luxury Package
For executive travel, client hosting and visiting delegations, which on a corridor with a major automotive plant is a regular requirement rather than an occasional one. This tier covers our 9 to 13 seater luxury tempo traveller bangalore range with high-back recliners, footrests, reading lights, blackout curtains and per-seat charging, and extends to the Force Urbania, which is a common choice for delegation travel here. Drivers travel in formal attire where the occasion requires it. On a route this short the argument is less about endurance than about what the vehicle says when it pulls up at a plant gate with your visitors in it.
Fare Inclusions, Exclusions and Advance Payment
Every Tejas Tours and Travels quotation for this corridor is issued in writing with the structure below. Nothing outside this list is charged and everything inside it is stated before you confirm. Twenty percent of the total fare is payable in advance to confirm the booking.
Included in the quoted fare
• Base fare and fuel charges
• Driver allowance
Not included in the quoted fare
• Toll and parking charges
• Interstate tax and permit charges
• Driver bata after 9:45 PM, charged extra
• Final rental calculated on total kilometres and hours, garage to garage
• GST
Three points are specific to this route. First, the Andhra Pradesh interstate permit applies since the road crosses the border at Kodikonda; it is quoted as a separate line at actual, arranged in advance so there is no delay at the checkpost, and it scales with seating capacity, so an 18 seater carries a higher figure than a 12 seater and we quote it before you choose the vehicle. Second, this is one of the few routes where a same-day return comfortably finishes inside the 9:45 PM driver bata threshold, since a 5:30 PM departure from Anantapur gets you home by around 9:00 PM. That makes the day cheaper here than on comparable corridors and we say so rather than leaving it implied. Third, monument entry fees and any ashram-related charges are paid on site and sit outside the vehicle fare.
Insurance note: Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance. Our vehicles carry the statutory motor insurance required under law and our drivers hold valid commercial licences, but passengers wanting personal cover should arrange it independently. Many corporate travel policies already provide this for employees on business trips, which is worth checking against your own arrangements, and for school and institutional groups a group policy is usually inexpensive and often required by the institution. We also do not operate sleeper coaches; the fleet on this route is seated tempo travellers in the 8 to 18 band.

How to Book a Tempo Traveller for Rent in Bangalore
Booking a tempo traveller for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under five minutes. Follow these four steps.
Step 1 — Contact Tejas Travels
• Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Share your travel date and your Bangalore pickup location — area, landmark, building, hotel or tech park. The KIA airport sits directly on this route, so Arrivals pickups add nothing to the drive.
• Tell us whether Penukonda or Anantapur city is your destination, and for a plant visit give us the specific unit rather than just the district, since the routing and the quote differ.
• Share the number of passengers, your preferred vehicle tier — Standard AC or Luxury AC — and whether you want a same-day return or an overnight.
• For corporate bookings, share your GST number and preferred invoicing format. For premium vehicles, mention the occasion — corporate, delegation or VIP visit — so the team can allocate the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire.
Step 2 — Receive Your Written Quote
• Within 2 hours of your enquiry, a written quote arrives by WhatsApp or email.
• The quote itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate in rupees per kilometre or as a flat package, the hour allowance on a same-day return, driver allowance, applicable toll estimates, the Andhra Pradesh interstate permit as its own line, and GST.
• No verbal-only prices. Everything is in writing before you confirm.
• For corporate clients requiring reimbursement approval, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage.
• If you want to compare two seating sizes or the standard and luxury tiers, request both quotes at the same time. Permit charges differ between them, so ask for both figures.
Step 3 — Confirm Your Booking and Pay the Advance
• Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm by WhatsApp or phone.
• A 20 percent advance payment on the total fare confirms the booking and holds the vehicle for your date.
• Pay by UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), by NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or by credit or debit card through a payment link.
• The advance receipt is issued within 30 minutes.
• Your confirmation includes the driver name and mobile number, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location and the full billing breakdown, all in writing.
• For registered corporate accounts with credit terms, the advance is handled within the account arrangement rather than per booking, which for anyone running this corridor weekly removes the per-trip step entirely.
Step 4 — Your Driver Arrives Early
• Your assigned driver reaches the confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before the scheduled departure.
• For airport pickups, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate.
• The vehicle arrives clean, sanitized, fuelled and ready. For delegation and VIP bookings the driver is in formal attire.
• The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy.
• During the trip the driver handles all routing, toll payments and the border checkpost, and stays with the group through the day on a same-day return.
• At trip end the balance is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.
Quick booking: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your group size, Bangalore pickup location, whether you are going to Penukonda or Anantapur city, and your travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.
Payment Methods
Tejas Travels accepts all major digital and traditional payment methods for both the advance and the final settlement at trip end.
• UPI — Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM UPI and Amazon Pay. The fastest method, with instant confirmation on receipt. Recommended for all advance deposits.
• Bank transfer — NEFT, IMPS and RTGS. Used for corporate clients and larger advances. IMPS is instant; NEFT can take up to 2 hours.
• Credit or debit card — Visa, Mastercard and RuPay, through a payment link sent to your registered mobile or email. Valid for the advance and for full payment.
• Net banking — all major Indian banks, through a payment link by WhatsApp or email. Preferred for Bangalore IT corporate purchase-order approvals.
• Cash — accepted for the balance at trip end, with a receipt issued. The advance itself must be digital for the booking to be confirmed.
• Corporate credit — 30-day credit terms for signed corporate accounts, with monthly consolidated invoicing available. On this corridor, where repeat trips to the plant belt are common, a standing account produces a single monthly invoice instead of a per-trip settlement.
Payment note: a 20 percent advance confirms your booking and guarantees vehicle availability on your date. No advance means no confirmed booking. A digital receipt is issued within 30 minutes of every payment.

What Our Customers Say About Our Tempo Traveller Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Anantapur Tempo Traveller
The bangalore to anantapur distance is around 205 km via NH 44 north through Devanahalli, Chikkaballapur, Bagepalli and Penukonda, with reported figures between 200 km and 215 km. A loaded tempo traveller takes 3 hours to 3 hours 45 minutes with one halt. It is six-lane divided highway effectively the whole way with no ghat, no forest gate and no significant bottleneck beyond the exit from Bangalore, which makes it one of the most reliably timed group routes we operate.
Comfortably, and this is the route where that is most true. Leave at 5:30 AM and you are in Anantapur by around 9:30 AM; leave by 5:30 PM and you are home by around 9:00 PM, which is inside the driver bata threshold and makes the day cheaper than on comparable routes. That gives roughly eight usable hours on the ground. If your destination is Penukonda rather than Anantapur city it is easier still, at two and a half hours each way. We quote same-day returns as a package with a stated hour allowance rather than as two one-way trips, since the vehicle staying with the group is the whole point.
Worth settling at booking, because it changes both the routing and the quote. The automobile plant and the supplier belt around Penukonda sit on NH 44 at around 145 kilometres, sixty kilometres short of Anantapur city, which is a two-and-a-half hour run rather than three and a half. A large share of our group bookings on this corridor stop there. Tell us the specific plant or unit rather than just the district and the driver plans the approach and the parking accordingly, which on a delegation visit saves a conversation at the gate.
For eight to thirteen passengers the 12 or 13 seater at Rs 22 per km is the best value in the fleet. For fourteen to eighteen, the 17 or 18 seater, and on a delegation booking the extra room for bags and equipment usually decides it regardless of headcount. One route-specific point: the Andhra Pradesh permit charge is higher on a larger vehicle, so ask for both figures when you compare sizes. Beyond eighteen passengers we would move you to a mini bus rental in bangalore vehicle rather than running two tempo travellers.
A 12 seater same-day return starts from around Rs 10,750. Multi-day plant-visit itineraries and heritage circuits taking in Lepakshi, Penukonda and Tadipatri are quoted on the day-wise plan. Every quote itemizes base fare, driver allowance, the hour allowance, toll estimate, the Andhra Pradesh permit and GST separately, and arrives in writing within two hours.
Included: base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Not included: toll and parking, interstate tax and permit charges, driver bata after 9:45 PM, and GST. Monument entry fees and any ashram-related charges are paid on site. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage back to our garage. Note that on this route a same-day return generally finishes inside the 9:45 PM threshold, so the late-return charge rarely applies. A 20 percent advance confirms the booking, with the receipt issued within 30 minutes.
Yes, and on this corridor it is a large and growing part of what we do. We provide GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice at quotation stage for purchase-order approval, monthly consolidated billing across repeat trips and thirty-day credit terms for signed accounts. For anyone running the Penukonda belt weekly or more, a standing account removes the per-trip advance and produces a single monthly invoice covering every vehicle we send. Speak to our corporate desk rather than booking trip by trip.
Yes, and you should. Lepakshi is around fifteen kilometres off the highway just across the border and holds the hanging pillar, the finest surviving ceiling murals in India and a monolithic Nandi among the largest anywhere; ninety minutes covers it properly and there is room for a large vehicle to park. Penukonda, the Vijayanagara capital after Hampi fell, is a short detour further on and takes about an hour. Together they make one of the best day trips available from Bangalore, and on a business trip either can be added to the return leg without pushing the day past the bata threshold.
No on both counts. Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passenger insurance. Our vehicles carry the statutory motor insurance required under law and our drivers hold valid commercial licences, but passengers wanting personal cover should arrange it independently. Many corporate travel policies already provide this for employees on business trips, and for school and institutional groups a group policy is usually inexpensive and often required by the institution. We also do not operate sleeper bus services. The fleet is seated throughout: 8 to 18 seater tempo travellers, 12 to 24 seater minibuses, 27 to 50 seater buses including Volvo and Benz coaches, 13 to 17 seater Force Urbania, and 4 to 7 seater cars.
October to February. Anantapur is among the driest and hottest districts in India, and April to June is genuinely severe, which matters a great deal if your itinerary involves forts, temples or any time outdoors, since Lepakshi, Penukonda and Gooty all involve walking in the open with no shade. For a school group in particular that is a scheduling decision rather than a comfort one. For business travel the season matters less than the departure time. The Kadiri brahmotsavam and the Puttaparthi calendar are both worth checking if either is your reason for travelling.
