Outstation route
Bangalore to Bidar Cab
Bidar is Karnataka’s north-eastern edge, a historic Bahmani city with a great fort, old tombs and the craft of Bidriware. It is a very long drive from Bangalore, which is why many travellers prefer a cab with driver over driving themselves.
The route
Bangalore to Bidar distance and driving time
The bangalore to bidar distance makes this one of the longest Karnataka journeys from the city. Route-planner data lists NH 44, NH 167N, SH 9 and SH 467 as the main roads.
| Road distance | About 675 km one way |
| Driving time (route planner) | About 9 h without traffic delays or stops |
| Main roads on the route | NH 44, NH 167N, SH 9, SH 467 |

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. With meal halts and traffic, a full day on the road is the realistic expectation, and driving through the night is best avoided.

Plan your trip
Plan a multi-day trip
Bidar is far too distant for a single day on the road. With about 675 km each way, most travellers treat the outward drive as one full day, give a day to sightseeing and a third day to return. A relaxed pace also makes the trip safer and leaves time to enjoy the monuments instead of rushing between them.
If you need only a drop, our one-way taxi page explains the option. To combine Bidar with other north Karnataka destinations, see Hampi, Hubli and Belgaum.
