When you're moving a large group, a chartered bus is the simplest, most economical and most sociable way to travel together. Bakkiya Tours & Travels arranges bus hire across Cuddalore district and all of Tamil Nadu — for wedding parties, temple pilgrimages, school and college excursions, factory and office outings, and family functions.
We've been organising group travel since 2010, so we know how to keep a big group on schedule, comfortable and together from the first pickup to the drop back home.
Buses we can arrange
Mini bus · 20–27 seats
The sweet spot for medium groups, wedding guests and college batches. Easy on narrow temple-town roads.
Coach · 32–40 seats
Comfortable long-distance travel with luggage space for pilgrimages and multi-day tours.
Large coach · 45–50 seats
For big pilgrimage parties, corporate events and full-batch excursions.
Choose air-conditioned or non-AC to suit your budget and the season. Push-back seats, music system and adequate luggage space come as standard on our tour coaches.

Why hire your bus through Bakkiya Tours
We're a local company that has run group tours for fifteen years, so we don't just hand you a vehicle — we help you plan the whole day. We know which halls, temples and highways suit a big coach, where to stop for meals, and how to keep to time. Our drivers are patient with large families and careful with children and elders. And because we also run full tour packages, we can add hotels, guides and meals to your bus hire whenever you want a complete arrangement.
Areas we serve
Bakkiya Tours is based in Virudhachalam, in Cuddalore district, and we arrange pickups right across the region — Cuddalore town, Chidambaram, Neyveli, Panruti, Ulundurpet, Tittakudi, Kattumannarkoil, Vadalur and the surrounding villages. From here we run trips throughout Tamil Nadu and into neighbouring Puducherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, as well as pilgrimages and holidays further afield in India. Being a local company means we can collect you from your doorstep, start early without a long dead-run, and be genuinely on hand throughout your journey. Tell us where you're starting from and we'll arrange a convenient pickup.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes of bus can I hire in Cuddalore?
We arrange mini buses from around 20 to 27 seats and full coaches from 32 up to 45 or 50 seats, in both AC and non-AC. For very large groups we can send more than one bus together.
Do you provide buses for weddings?
Yes, weddings are one of the most common reasons people hire our buses — for bringing guests in from nearby towns and moving the party between temple, hall and reception through the day.
Can you arrange a bus for a temple pilgrimage?
Certainly. We regularly run pilgrimage coaches to Navagraha temples, Rameswaram, Palani, Tirupati and Velankanni, and can plan the full route, halts and timings for your group.
Is the driver's accommodation included on multi-day trips?
Yes. The driver's meals and stay are arranged and reflected in your quote, so there are no surprise costs during the journey.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings and peak pilgrimage seasons, book as early as you can to be sure of the size you want. For most trips a few days' notice is enough — but WhatsApp us anytime and we'll tell you what's available.
