A Practical First Day in Hosur
The bus reaches Hosur before dawn, so get off opposite the bus stand and find breakfast nearby. Drop your bags at the hotel and sleep for a few hours after the ride from Chennai.
In the late morning, take an auto up to the Chandra Choodeswarar Temple and spend time on the hilltop. Have lunch in town and rest through the warmer hours.
In the afternoon, hire a cab towards Thally, stopping at Kelavarapalli dam on the way back. Return to Hosur by evening for dinner near the bus stand.
Hosur Local Transport Costs and Sightseeing Budget
For one adult on the temple and Thally plan, ₹1300 covers autos, a shared cab, meals and snacks. The hill temple charges no entry fee, and the other figures are planning allowances. Rooms and the Chennai ticket are kept separate.
| Expense | Cost or planning allowance |
| Chandra Choodeswarar Temple | No entry ticket for general darshan |
| Autos in Hosur town | ₹200 per person as a daily planning allowance |
| Shared cab to Thally and Kelavarapalli | ₹600 per person as a planning allowance |
| Breakfast, lunch and dinner | ₹380 per person as a daily planning allowance |
| Tea, snacks and water | ₹120 per person as a daily planning allowance |
| Sample day for one adult | ₹1300, excluding flowers and plants |
A cab shared by three or four people brings the Thally cost down sharply. Roses and plants bought from farms are personal purchases.

Note: All figures are planning allowances; cab and auto fares may change.
