Airport transfer
Malleswaram to Bangalore Airport Taxi
Malleshwaram is one of Bengaluru’s oldest and best-loved neighbourhoods, and it sits on the right side of the city for the airport. We offer a pre-booked cab from Malleshwaram, also spelt Malleswaram, to the airport and back.
The transfer
Malleshwaram and the airport, both directions
The neighbourhood is north-west of the centre, so the drive heads straight up the northern corridor. Many Malleshwaram residents choose this transfer for early flights because the route is more direct than from the southern suburbs.
| To Kempegowda International Airport | About 32 km, about 35 min of driving |
| From the airport | About 32 km, about 35 min of driving |
| Main roads | NH 44 |
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.
This is the same in both directions in route-planner data, without traffic or stops. NH 44 is the main road listed. Real journey times move with the hour, so build a buffer around your flight.
Pickup points
Easy places to meet the driver
Malleshwaram is a grid of numbered cross roads, so naming the nearest cross avoids confusion. Frequently used spots are:
- Sampige Road, around Mantri Square.
- The 8th Cross and 18th Cross shopping streets.
- Near the Kadu Malleshwara Temple, an old landmark of the area.
- Sankey Tank and the Sadashivanagar side.
Residents of nearby streets often wait on the bigger roads, since the inner lanes are narrow and busy with shoppers during the day.
Timing
Leaving for the airport from an old city neighbourhood
Malleshwaram wakes up early: temple visitors, vegetable vendors and morning walkers fill the roads. If your flight is in the morning, you will usually have lighter traffic, but never take it for granted. For flights in the afternoon or evening, add extra time for the main roads around Mekhri Circle and the northern approach.
Arrivals into Malleshwaram are easiest when you share your flight number and terminal. If your family is waiting at home, the driver can drop you at the door of your choice.
Vehicles
Which cab for a Malleshwaram trip
Dzire and Ciaz sedans suit one or two travellers. Large families with senior members often choose an Innova for easier seating. A group heading to a wedding or a festival can look at the Tempo Traveller. The fare is confirmed when you book. For pickups from other parts of the old city, see Majestic to airport taxi.
