Plan your trip
Getting the most out of the long drive
At about 470 km each way, avoid cramming the trip into a single day. Most customers leave early in the morning, reach by evening, rest, sightsee the next morning and drive back in the afternoon. For a family function, a one-way drop and a separate return booking can also work; see our one-way taxi page.
If heritage is the aim, read the Bangalore to Badami cab page and consider extending towards Hampi. Travellers heading further up the state may also like Belgaum.
