Bangalore to Sringeri Tempo Traveller — 9 to 18 Seater TT Hire for Temple Group Travel

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Bangalore to Sringeri Route

Every quotation is built around what you actually need rather than a fixed menu. The four structures below describe how we typically shape tempo traveller hire bangalore enquiries on this corridor.

Pilgrimage Circuit Package

The booking that makes the most of the distance, and the one we build most often. Sringeri and Horanadu are forty kilometres apart and almost always done together; add Kalasa, and then Kollur Mookambika ninety kilometres on, and you have a three or four day circuit that many groups extend to Murudeshwar and Dharmasthala. The same vehicle and driver stay with you throughout, which is the only arrangement that works when days are shaped by pooja timings rather than a schedule. We plan the driving around whatever sequence your family follows rather than imposing one. A sringeri kollur murudeshwar tour package quoted this way carries a stated allowance for the local running rather than a bare point-to-point figure.

Family and Two-Day Package

The most common booking on this route. Seven to eight hours each way makes a single-day round trip fifteen hours of driving for half a day of temple, and we would rather talk you into the second night than take the one-day booking and have the group arrive home at midnight. Two days gives you the temple complex properly, the Tunga in the early morning, and Sirimane and Kigga on the second day. Planning is around pooja timings and around elders, who make up a good share of the parties on this corridor. Mutt guesthouses are the closest accommodation and are simple; there are mid-range hotels a little further out. Child seats can be arranged with notice.

Budget Package

For groups where cost per head decides the booking — devotee associations, community groups and college trips, which this route generates steadily. Point to point, no frills, clean vehicle and a verified driver, in the 8 to 14 seater band. Our tempo traveller rate per km in bangalore is at its lowest in this tier, and across a 330-kilometre run with no interstate permit to pay, the total works out lower than most outstation routes of comparable distance. The budget tier is about vehicle specification only. Maintenance schedules and driver vetting are identical across every tier, and on ghat roads with a full load that is not something we would treat as negotiable.

Luxury and Executive Package

Wider pushback seats, more legroom, better sound insulation and premium interiors, in a 9 to 14 seater configuration where seat count has been traded for comfort. On a route with sustained winding sections beyond Chikmagalur the difference is felt rather than admired, and it is the tier senior family groups usually choose for a milestone pilgrimage or a first visit with elderly parents. This covers our luxury tempo traveller bangalore range. For a further step up in the same seat band, the luxury urbania rental bangalore fleet is a premium alternative that also handles the narrow stretches near Sirimane comfortably.

Our Tempo Traveller Fleet in Bangalore

Our 9 seater tempo traveller bangalore, 12, 14, 17 and 18 seater configurations cover the full band, all air conditioned with pushback seating. We run a complete 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.

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

•     Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, for devotee associations and larger pilgrimage parties

•     Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches; beyond Chikmagalur we advise on size rather than assuming the largest vehicle fits

•     Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van

•     Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, Fortuner and Commuter 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 pushback seats, which is why we plan this route as a daytime drive with an early start rather than an overnight run. On a road that finishes with ghat sections through forest, arriving in daylight is a safety position as much as a comfort one, and it is the same reason we ask groups returning via Agumbe to start back by early afternoon.

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 permit where applicable — not applicable on this route, since Sringeri is in Karnataka

•     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, and we factor this into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Three points matter specifically on this corridor. Temple offerings, sevas and any accommodation booked through the Sringeri Mutt are arranged and paid by you directly — we handle transport and time the day around the pooja schedule, nothing more. There is no interstate permit on this route, which is worth stating plainly because most of our outstation quotes carry one and its absence here is a genuine saving. And local running on a circuit is substantial once Horanadu, Kalasa or Kollur enter the plan, so our package quotes carry a stated allowance rather than leaving it open.

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.

How to Book a Tempo Traveller for Rent in Bangalore — Step by Step

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, 7 days a week.

•     Share your travel date.

•     Share your Bangalore pickup location — area, building or landmark such as Yeshwanthpur, Rajajinagar, Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road or Koramangala.

•     Share your destination or full day-wise itinerary, and tell us whether Horanadu, Kalasa or Kollur are in the plan, since that changes the route from Hassan onward.

•     Share your group size.

•     Share your preferred tempo traveller tier: Standard AC, Executive or Luxury.

•     Tell us whether you want a one-day or two-day trip. We will give you an honest view — a single-day round trip is fifteen hours of driving for half a day of temple.

•     For Kempegowda airport pickups, share the flight number. The driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically.

•     For corporate bookings from Bangalore tech parks, share your GST number and preferred invoicing format.

Step 2 — Receive Your Written Quote

•     Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email.

•     The quote itemises every charge:

◦      Tempo traveller hire rate — per kilometre or flat round-trip package

◦      Driver allowance — Rs 400 to Rs 800 per day depending on vehicle

◦      Applicable toll estimates

◦      No interstate permit on this route, since Sringeri is in Karnataka

◦      An explicit allowance for local running if Horanadu, Kalasa, Kollur or Sirimane are in the plan

◦      Driver night halt charges for multi-day hire

◦      GST

•     No verbal-only pricing. Everything is in writing before you commit.

•     For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage for PO-based approval.

•     If you want to compare a one-day and a two-day shape, or two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time.

Step 3 — Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance

•     Review the written quote and confirm via WhatsApp or phone.

•     A 20 percent advance payment of the total fare confirms the booking and guarantees the specific tempo traveller variant on your date.

•     Payment options: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or credit and debit card via payment link.

•     Advance receipt issued within 30 minutes.

•     Your confirmation includes:

◦      Driver name and mobile number

◦      Vehicle registration number

◦      Departure time

◦      Pickup location confirmation

◦      Full billing breakdown — all sent to WhatsApp or email in writing

•     For Navratri and the Sharada Navaratri Brahmotsavam, Guru Purnima, the annual Rathotsava and long weekends, book well ahead — Sringeri fills entirely on those dates and so does the accommodation.

Step 4 — Your Driver and Tempo Traveller Arrive Early

•     Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at the confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure.

•     The tempo traveller will be clean, sanitised, fuelled and ready, with the air conditioning checked before every outstation departure.

•     The driver calls you 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy.

•     During the trip the driver handles all routing, toll payments and the ghat sections beyond Chikmagalur, which are taken at ghat pace rather than highway pace.

•     At Sringeri the driver drops as close to the complex as parking allows and takes the vehicle on, rather than circling with the group aboard.

•     On a return via Agumbe the driver starts back by early afternoon so the ghat is cleared before dark.

•     At trip end the balance is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.
