Bangalore to Lakkundi Tempo Traveller — 8 to 18 Seater AC TT for the Chalukya Temple Circuit

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Bangalore to Lakkundi Route

Corporate Package

Built for Bangalore teams travelling into North Karnataka for plant visits, dealer meets, offsites and annual outings, and for the industrial corridor around Hubballi and Dharwad. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full trip, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate tempo traveller bangalore stays with your team across the Gadag, Lakkundi, Hubballi and Hampi legs, with duty slips signed daily and reconciled against the final invoice. For companies whose work already takes them to Hubballi, adding a day at Lakkundi and Itagi turns a routine trip into something people remember. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end.

Family and Heritage Package

The characteristic booking on this corridor is not a family holiday but a study trip: architecture and history departments, photography societies, heritage groups and school seniors, travelling in parties of twelve to eighteen with equipment. The package is built for that — luggage volume for tripods and cases, a driver who repositions the vehicle as the group works through a scattered site rather than parking once, and an itinerary that respects site opening days rather than assuming everything is open every morning. Families booking the Hampi and Lakkundi combination use the same structure. Our school transportation services division handles the larger college groups on this route.

Budget Package

For groups where cost per head decides the booking. Standard 8 to 13 seater tempo travellers, clean vehicle, verified driver, no frills — the tier that most college and community bookings use. The tempo traveller rate per km in bangalore for the standard tier is our lowest group-vehicle rate, and across a 420 kilometre one-way run the saving against multiple cars is substantial. One caution specific to this route: we do not recommend the non-AC option for travel between March and June, because Gadag district heat makes it a false economy. The budget tier concerns vehicle specification only; maintenance, driver vetting and documentation are identical across every tier.

Luxury Package

The 17 and 18 seater vehicles in a fuller specification, or a smaller variant run below capacity so every passenger has a spare seat beside them. Across eight hours each way and several days of local running in hot, dry country, better seating and stronger air conditioning earn their premium. For a further step up in the same seat range, our force urbania rent bangalore fleet offers full recliner seats, dual-zone air conditioning and per-seat charging in 8 to 16 seater configurations and runs the same route.

Our Tempo Traveller Fleet in Bangalore

Our luxury tempo traveller bangalore fleet covers 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17 and 18 seater configurations, all air conditioned, with push-back seating, charging points and GPS tracking. We run the full range of group vehicles from one Bangalore base, so a change in headcount after booking can usually be handled without starting over.

•             Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater AC, the core vehicle for this route

•             Force Urbania — 8 to 16 seater luxury van, the premium alternative in the same seat range

•             Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, the usual choice for a full college batch on this circuit

•             Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches for large movements

•             Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross and Fortuner through Corolla Altis, Camry, 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 this route we plan an overnight halt at Gadag or Hubballi rather than driving through the night, which is both safer and considerably more restful, and it also means your group reaches Lakkundi in morning light rather than at the end of a long day.

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, where a route crosses a state border

•             Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM

•             GST as applicable

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

On the Bangalore to Lakkundi route specifically, no interstate tax applies, because the journey stays inside Karnataka throughout. Tolls, however, are heavier here than on our coastal routes, because NH48 is a tolled four-lane corridor for most of its length. We estimate them in the written quote rather than leaving them as a surprise at trip end. Monument entry fees at Chitradurga, Hampi and the ASI sites are paid directly by passengers and are not part of the vehicle quote.

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 build this into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

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.
