How to Travel from Hosur (Tamil Nadu) to Balagere (Karnataka)?

Hi everyone, I’m new to this area and need to travel from Hosur (Tamil Nadu) to Balagere (Karnataka), but I have no idea about the best route or transport options. Can someone guide me on: The best public transport (bus/train) options? If buses are available, where can I catch them from? Any alternative routes or tips for a smooth journey? I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks in advance!
