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.
Both figures come from route-planner data without traffic or stops. A real journey includes breaks, and the first part of the drive out of Bengaluru is slower than the highway sections that follow.
Ongole is in Andhra Pradesh, so interstate permit charges and tolls are extra and are not part of the rate table.
The town
What Ongole is known for
Ongole is a trading and administrative town on the coastal belt between Nellore and Vijayawada. It is best known for the Ongole bull, a breed of cattle that is recognised across India and has been exported abroad for generations.
- Prakasam district is named after Tanguturi Prakasam, a leader of the freedom movement from the region.
- The Bay of Bengal coast of the district has quiet beaches that locals visit for a day out.
- Ongole is a convenient stop on the long coastal road, with Nellore to the south and Vijayawada further north.
Most travellers who book this route are visiting family, attending a wedding or function, or travelling for work in the district. Tell us the exact area in Ongole and we will plan the drop accordingly.
Plan your trip
Overnight stay and choosing a car
At about 480 km one way, Ongole is a long drive. Even with an early start, the journey takes most of the day with breaks, and a return on the same day is not realistic. Plan for at least two days, and add more if you also have family visits to make.
For one or two people travelling for work, a sedan is the economical choice. If you carry luggage for a function or travel with children, an Innova Crysta offers better seating on a trip of this length. A Tempo Traveller suits wedding parties and larger families.
Many travellers continue north-east to Vijayawada or west to Tirupati as part of a longer Andhra Pradesh trip. See Hyderabad if your onward travel is inland.

If you only need to reach Ongole, ask about our one way taxi service. Round trips are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, plus the driver allowance shown in the rate table. Tolls, parking and interstate permit charges are extra.
