Airport transfer
Tumkur to Bangalore Airport Taxi
Tumakuru, also written Tumkur, lies north-west of Bengaluru on the highway to Chitradurga and beyond. Many people from the town and from the villages around it fly from Bengaluru, and a booked cab saves the bus-and-taxi relay.
The drive
From Tumkur to Devanahalli
The cab joins the highway south-east towards Bengaluru and then cuts across the northern side of the city to the airport. You do not have to go into the centre.
| To Kempegowda International Airport | About 120 km, about 1 h 45 min of driving |
| From the airport | About 120 km, about 1 h 45 min of driving |
| Main roads | NH 648, SH 84, NH 48, NH 73 |
Route-planner figures from OpenStreetMap data, without traffic delays or stops. Bengaluru traffic varies a lot by time of day, so allow extra time for your flight; we will suggest a pickup time when you book.
The planner lists NH 648, SH 84, NH 48 and NH 73 on the way. These are route-planner figures without traffic or stops. Tumkur to central Bengaluru is about 105 km, which the planner gives as about 1 h 30 min, but the airport lies further out on the far side, so the distance is more.
Both places are in Karnataka, so there is no interstate charge. Tolls and parking are charged extra.
Known for
Tumkur and why people travel from here
Tumkur is best known for the Siddaganga Mutt, a respected religious and educational institution, and for the hill fort of Devarayanadurga with its temples. It is also a growing hub for industry and education on the Tumkur Road side, so students, professionals and business visitors all use the airport run. Pickups are possible from the town centre, the railway station area, hotels and homes; tell us the exact spot when you book.
Planning
Leaving on time for your flight
A journey of this length is more than a hop. Work back from your airline’s check-in cut-off, then add the drive and extra time for the highway entering Bengaluru, which can be heavy at peak hours. An early start protects you.
If you are arriving, share your flight number and terminal (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2) when you book. The driver will then be ready outside, and you avoid looking for a long-distance ride at a late hour. The fare is confirmed when you book.
Vehicles
A car for the highway
A Ciaz or Dzire is comfortable for one or two travellers. Families and groups with a lot of luggage can choose an Innova, Crysta or Hycross. Our Innova airport taxi page has the details. For a day trip from Bengaluru, see the Bangalore to Tumkur cab page.
If you are leaving from a house in a village or an outlying layout, give a clear landmark such as a school, a temple or a bus stop, and keep your phone on so the driver can reach you for directions.
