Bangalore to Hogenakkal Bus Rental — 27 to 50 Seater Bus Hire for One Day Group Trips

Bus Packages for the Bangalore to Hogenakkal Route

Corporate Package

Built for Bangalore companies running team outings, family days and department picnics — the single largest category of booking on this route. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the day, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The Tamil Nadu permit is arranged and itemised so it clears reimbursement without a query. A corporate bus rental bangalore booking can be staged across two or three pickups on the way out — Electronic City and the Hosur Road corridor are directly on the route, which makes this one of the easiest outings to organise for a large team. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end, including multi-coach movements past fifty people.

Family and Group Package

Extended families, apartment communities, friend groups and residents’ associations making a day of it. Designed around the reality that a large mixed group does not move on a fixed schedule and that half the party will be in the water: the coach stays through the day, luggage bays take coolers, mats, spare clothes and towels, and the driver waits rather than working to a return slot. Groups with elders should know that reaching the river involves steps and uneven rock, and that the massage and bathing areas are open and public — worth setting expectations before you travel.

Budget Package

For groups where cost per head decides the booking. Non-AC 27 to 41 seater coaches, point to point, no frills, clean vehicle, verified driver — the standard choice for college departments, community outings and school excursions, which make up a large share of Hogenakkal traffic. The bus rate per km in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest, and on a same-day return across forty passengers the saving is significant. The climate on this route is mild through the best season, so non-AC is genuinely comfortable from August to January. The budget tier is about vehicle specification, never about maintenance or driver vetting.

Luxury and Volvo Package

Volvo and Benz coaches with wider push-back seats, better suspension, stronger air conditioning, sound insulation and premium interiors. On a day trip the coach doubles as the group’s base — the place people leave their bags, regroup and sit at the end of a long day at the river — and the difference in comfort is felt most on the return leg. Suited to senior management outings, client and MICE groups, and family bookings with elders travelling. Our volvo bus rental bangalore tier covers volvo luxury bus requirements in 41 to 50 seater configuration. For premium small-group travel on the same route, luxury urbania rental bangalore in 13 to 17 seater configuration is the alternative.

Our Bus Fleet in Bangalore

Our fleet covers 27, 35, 41, 45 and 50 seater configurations in AC and non-AC, including Volvo and Benz coaches. We run a full range of group vehicles from the same Bangalore base, so if your headcount changes after booking we can usually move you up or down a category without restarting the process.

•             Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches, the core vehicle for this route

•             Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, for mid-sized groups on the same corridor

•             Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, for smaller parties

•             Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van

•             Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross and Fortuner through Commuter, Corolla Altis and Camry, up to Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost

Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On the Hogenakkal route this makes no practical difference, since the trip is a daylight run out and back with the group home the same night.

Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra

We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so there are no surprises at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking.

Included in the Quoted Fare

•             Base fare and fuel charges

•             Driver allowance

Not Included — Billed Separately at Actuals

•             Toll charges and parking fees

•             Interstate tax and the Tamil Nadu permit for the Karnataka border crossing

•             Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM

•             GST as applicable

•             Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage

The garage-to-garage basis is standard across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup point and ends when it returns. We factor this into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay. The Tamil Nadu permit applies because the route crosses the state line at Attibele just thirty kilometres out, and it is billed at actuals rather than folded into the rate. On a standard day trip the 9:45 PM driver bata does not usually apply, but it will if the group leaves the falls late — worth deciding your return departure at booking stage so it is priced correctly either way.

Coracle charges, entry fees, massage and food at the falls are paid directly by passengers on site and are not part of the vehicle quote.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.
