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.
These are route-planner figures without traffic or stops. Leaving Bengaluru through the eastern side is slower at peak hours, and village sections of the road mean the drive is less smooth than a full highway trip.
Madanapalle is in Andhra Pradesh, so interstate permit charges and tolls are extra on top of the rate table.

Plan your trip
Day trip or weekend plan
At about 125 km one way, Madanapalle works as a day trip, and the hill excursion to Horsley Hills can be added to a weekend break. A one-day plan is best if you have a specific appointment or visit. If you want to enjoy the hills, stay over a night.
A Dzire, Etios or Ciaz is a good fit for couples and small groups. Families usually choose an Innova for extra space. Groups going together for a function or outing can book a Tempo Traveller.
The same route continues to Tirupati, and nearby towns include Kuppam and Chittoor. If you are driving on towards the coast, see Hyderabad for the northern corridor.
