Bangalore to Haveri Cab
Haveri is a district headquarters in north-central Karnataka, famous across the state for its cardamom and for temples that go back to the Chalukyan period. The road distance from Bangalore is about 340 km, which is a serious drive best done with a rested professional driver.

How far is Haveri from Bangalore?

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.
You head out on NH 48 towards Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Davangere, and then follow NH 75 and SH 62 for the final stretch into Haveri. Much of the highway is a good, wide surface, which is why the driving time looks short on paper. Most of the delay in practice comes from the Bengaluru exit and from truck traffic near the towns on the way.
At the destination
What Haveri and its surroundings are known for
Haveri is part of a district with an unusually rich heritage, so even a short visit can include several stops.
- Siddheshwara Temple in Haveri town, a Chalukyan-era shrine with carved stone detail.
- Haveri cardamom garlands, a local speciality that has made the town’s name known beyond Karnataka.
- Bankapur, with its old fort remains and the Nagareshwara temple.
- Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary, a grassland reserve where blackbuck can often be seen.
- Kaginele, a spiritual centre associated with the saint-poet Kanaka Dasa.
Sites in the district are spread out, so ask your driver to keep the car with you for the whole stay rather than hiring local transport at each stop. Temple and sanctuary timings change, so confirm them locally before you go.
Plan your trip
Planning the drive: stops and timing
At this distance, treat Haveri as a two-day trip, or as a one-way transfer if you only need to be there. A very early departure can get you to Haveri by lunchtime, but a same-day return would mean hours of night driving on a busy highway, which we do not recommend.
Good break points on the way are Tumkur, Chitradurga and Davangere. If you are heading further, Hubli is a natural onward destination. Because Haveri is within Karnataka, there is no interstate permit; tolls on NH 48 are paid extra.
Family groups travelling with luggage are usually happiest in an Innova Crysta, while a group of friends or a wedding party can look at a Tempo Traveller.
