The route
Bangalore to Solapur distance by road
If you are checking the Bangalore to Solapur distance before planning, the figures below come from a route planner for the road journey from central Bengaluru. The route heads north through Karnataka and crosses into Maharashtra near the end. Route planners list NH 50, NH 48, NH 561A and NH 75 for this trip.
| Road distance | About 650 km one way |
| Driving time (route planner) | About 8 h without traffic delays or stops |
| Main roads on the route | NH 50, NH 48, NH 561A, NH 75 |
| Round trip | About 1,305 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.
These are route-planner driving times without traffic or stops. Add time for meals, fuel and rest, and for city traffic when leaving Bengaluru.
Because Solapur is in Maharashtra, interstate permit charges and tolls are extra and are not included in the per-km rate.

Plan your trip
Planning a long drive to Solapur
At about 650 km one way, this is a trip to plan over at least two days. Driving it in one stretch is tiring, so many travellers start very early, break the journey for a proper rest, and reach in the evening.
For the return, the same distance applies again, so a round trip adds up to a sizeable figure. Round trips are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, plus the driver allowance. For a drop only, a one-way taxi may suit you better.
