Outstation route
Bangalore to Doddaballapur Cab
Doddaballapur is a textile and temple town on the northern edge of the Bengaluru region and one of the quickest day trips from the city. Here is the distance, what to see and how to plan a cab.
The route
Bangalore to Doddaballapur distance and road
If you are looking for the Bangalore to Doddaballapur distance, the answer is short. The town lies north of the city, past Yelahanka and the airport corridor, and the route planner lists SH 9 as the main road. The official spelling is Doddaballapura, and you may also see Bengaluru to Doddaballapura on signs and maps.
| Road distance | About 39 km one way |
| Driving time (route planner) | About 40 min without traffic delays or stops |
| Main roads on the route | SH 9 |
| Round trip | About 77 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 figures without traffic or stops. The northern approach roads are crowded at office hours, so leave early or late rather than at peak time. The trip is inside Karnataka, so no interstate permit is needed.
Things to see
Silk, weaving and a famous hill temple
Doddaballapur is known for its handloom and power-loom weaving, especially silk sarees, and for the small workshops and sari shops that line its streets. Visitors who like textiles can combine a shopping stop with a temple visit.
- Ghati Subramanya temple, a well-known shrine near Doddaballapur, popular for its serpent-stone offerings and hill setting.
- Weaving clusters and sari shops in the town, where you can see how fabrics are made.
- The countryside around the town, which also works as a starting point for Nandi Hills.
Please check temple timings and rules locally before you set off, as they can change.
Plan your trip
A half-day or full-day outing
With such a short distance, you can leave after breakfast and be back by the evening, even with a long lunch. Many travellers combine the town with Nandi Hills or the Adiyogi statue, both a little farther north. See the one-day trips from Bangalore guide for other ideas.
Round trips are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, so a return of about 77 km is billed at the minimum if you do this alone on a day. Combining several places in one day uses the day better. If you need only a drop, ask about a one-way taxi.
Who it suits
Cars for shoppers, pilgrims and families
A sedan is fine for a couple on a sari-shopping trip. A family with parents or children will be happier in an Innova Crysta, and a temple group or wedding party can look at a Tempo Traveller.
