Planning Bangalore to Dharmasthala by luxury tempo traveller
Dharmasthala is one of the most common family pilgrimages from Bangalore, often combined with Kukke Subramanya, Horanadu Annapoorneshwari and Sringeri. These trips usually include elders and start overnight, so comfortable reclining seats matter more than anything. A luxury tempo traveller seats nine or ten in 2+1 pushback chairs, lets people sleep on the way and keeps the whole family together through crowded temple towns.
On the road
NH75 is a good highway to Hassan and Sakleshpur. The Shiradi ghat from Sakleshpur down to Gundya has been under widening for years; traffic can be slow and occasionally diverted, especially in monsoon, so we keep buffer time. The Charmadi ghat via Mudigere is the alternative when Shiradi is restricted. Dharmasthala has large parking areas for tourist vehicles near the temple.
Places to see in and around Dharmasthala
- Sri Manjunatha Swamy temple, Dharmasthala
- Kukke Subramanya temple, about 55 km away
- Sauthadka Mahaganapathi and Annappa Betta
- Horanadu, Sringeri and Udupi Krishna temple on a longer circuit
