Book Tata AcePlan Kerala loads around the Bandipur night closure
Here is the detail that matters most for a tempo leaving Mysore Road for Kerala. The highway through the Bandipur and Muthanga forests, on the Gundlupet route to Wayanad and Kozhikode, is closed to traffic at night. A tempo that leaves Kengeri at 7 PM expecting to drive straight through will sit at the check post until morning. Start early in the day instead, or plan the halt in Gundlupet.
That is the kind of routing we sort out when you book a tempo here. TruckGuru books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class tempo with driver for intercity loads over 100 km. The tempo carries only your goods, direct to the receiver. Runs inside Bangalore are not part of our service.
The belt along Mysore Road
From Nayandahalli and Kengeri out to Bidadi and Ramanagara, the road passes a long string of small and mid-size units: auto-component suppliers feeding the plants around Bidadi, printing presses, food processors, furniture makers, and the silk trade that Ramanagara is known for. The loads we see are compact: a few hundred kilos of components, silk yarn in bags, bakery and snack cartons, printed material.
The Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway has made the first leg much quicker than it used to be. Mysore is about 140 km from Kengeri: same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day.
Where tempos from here go
- Mysore, about 140 km, for distributors, printers and food units
- Madikeri, about 250 km, for coffee-estate supplies and retail stock
- Kozhikode and Wayanad, via Gundlupet, with the forest timing in mind
- Ooty and the Nilgiris, through the Masinagudi or Gudalur side
- Hassan and Chikmagalur, for agri inputs and packed goods
Mandya and Ramanagara are close enough that we do not treat them as intercity.
Sizing the vehicle
An Ace / Dost / Pickup carries up to 1,100 kg. The ghat roads into Coorg and the Nilgiris are no place for an overloaded tempo, so stay inside that rating. For coffee-estate supplies such as fertiliser bags or pipes, a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) is often the better call. A closed-body Bada Dost (up to 1.5 ton) suits cartons and printed material, especially in the June to September rains on the Coorg side. Deck sizes for each vehicle are in the truck size guide.
Tempo rates on the Mysore Road side
Truck freight rates are not fixed. What a load costs depends on the route, vehicle type, load capacity needed, cargo, pickup date and how many trucks are running that lane that week. The expressway toll is part of the Mysore trip price, and the quote you confirm already includes it.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.
Indicative tempo trip fares on the Mysore Road side

Booking a tempo from Kengeri, Bidadi or Nayandahalli
Book on the website or in the TruckGuru app: pickup, drop, weight, date. We call back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM). A digital Lorry Receipt comes at loading, GPS tracking runs until delivery, and the GST invoice follows.
You arrange loading and unloading labour, and transit insurance if you need it. For goods worth more than Rs.50,000, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. Kerala-bound loads cross the state border, so the bill must carry the Kerala delivery address. See also tempo service for other cities.
Questions from the Mysore Road belt
Can a tempo leave Bidadi at night for Kozhikode?
It can leave, but it will stop at the forest check post until the morning opening. We suggest a morning departure so the tempo crosses in daylight.
How much can the tempo take?
Up to 1,100 kg for an Ace / Dost / Pickup, or up to 1.5 ton in a closed-body Ace.
Can you deliver from Kengeri to Jayanagar?
No. We book only intercity trips over 100 km, never within Bangalore.
Does my load travel alone?
Yes. One vehicle per consignment, direct to your receiver.
Who loads the silk bags?
Your labour. Loading and unloading are arranged by the customer at both ends.
Is expressway toll extra?
No. Toll is included in the trip price you confirm at booking.
How long to Madikeri?
About 250 km, usually within 1 day in a tempo. The ghat section after Kushalnagar slows things in heavy rain.
What does a tempo to Mysore cost?
A tempo from Kengeri to Mysore, about 140 km, is indicatively Rs.3,600 - Rs.4,100 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
What are the payment terms?
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading once the truck reaches the pickup location, and the remaining Balance at delivery before unloading begins. Accepted: NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments accepted.
Can I send my own belongings to Mysore?
Our trucks mostly carry business loads. For a one-off household move to another city, we can supply the truck and driver. Packing, loading and unloading are arranged by you.
Can I track the tempo in the forest stretch?
GPS tracking runs from dispatch to delivery. Signal can drop inside the forest for a while, and the location updates again once the tempo is back in coverage.
