Outstation route
Bangalore to Dharmapuri Distance & Cab
Dharmapuri lies just over the Tamil Nadu border, which makes it one of the shorter interstate runs from Bengaluru. Here is the road distance, what the drive involves and how to plan a cab with driver for the trip.
The route
Road distance from Bangalore to Dharmapuri
Most cabs leave Bengaluru by the Hosur Road corridor, cross into Tamil Nadu near Hosur and carry on past Krishnagiri into Dharmapuri district. Route-planner data lists NH 844 and NH 44 as the main roads. The figures below are route-planner figures for driving without traffic or stops, measured from central Bengaluru.
| Road distance | About 120 km one way |
| Driving time (route planner) | About 1 h 45 min without traffic delays or stops |
| Main roads on the route | NH 844, NH 44 |
| Round trip | About 245 km of driving, plus any local sightseeing |
Measured from central Bengaluru (Vidhana Soudha) using OpenStreetMap route data. Your exact distance depends on the pickup point and the route the driver takes, and real journey times are usually longer once city traffic, ghat sections and breaks are added.
The slow part is usually the first stretch out of the city around Electronic City and Attibele, so an early start saves more time than a fast driver on the open highway. Interstate permit charges and tolls are extra. The driver will handle the border formalities for you.
The destination
What Dharmapuri is known for
Dharmapuri is a district headquarters town rather than a tourist hub, and people travel here for family functions, business calls, college visits and as a halt on longer journeys towards Salem, Erode and Coimbatore. A few places make the district worth a look:
- Hogenakkal Falls on the Cauvery, famous for its rocky gorge and coracle rides. The water level changes a lot with the season, so check the current situation before you plan a visit. We also have a page for a Bangalore to Hogenakkal cab.
- Adhiyaman Kottai, the remains of a fort linked with the Adhiyaman chieftains of the Tamil country.
- The dry, hilly countryside around the town, with Krishnagiri on the way in.
Plan your trip
Same-day return or an overnight stop
With a one-way distance this short, a same-day return is realistic if you start in the morning and your work or visit at the other end is not stretched out. If you plan to add Hogenakkal or continue to Salem, think about staying overnight so the driver is not rushed on the way back.
For two or three passengers a sedan such as the Dzire or Ciaz is comfortable. A family with luggage will find the Innova or Innova Crysta easier, and a larger wedding or function party can look at a Tempo Traveller or a mini bus. If you want to carry on deeper into Tamil Nadu, see our Bangalore to Chennai cab and Ooty cab pages.
You can also book a one-way drop if you do not need the car back in Bengaluru; the details are on our one way taxi page.
