The route
The drive from Bengaluru to Hubballi
This is almost entirely a highway journey. NH 48 runs from the north-west edge of Bengaluru past Tumakuru, Chitradurga and Davanagere all the way to Hubballi. NH 75 also appears on the route-planner line.
| Road distance | About 410 km one way |
| Driving time (route planner) | About 5 h without traffic delays or stops |
| Main roads on the route | NH 48, NH 75 |
| Round trip | About 820 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.
The verified route-planner figures are about 410 km one way and about 5 h of driving without traffic or stops. Add time for leaving Bengaluru, fuel and meal breaks, and it becomes a long day on the road. The good news is that the highway is wide and well used, which makes it a comfortable drive in a well-kept car.
Hubli is in Karnataka, so no interstate permit applies. Tolls on the highway and any parking are extra.
Stops on the way
Good places to break the journey
- Tumakuru, the first big town after the city, handy for an early breakfast.
- Chitradurga, where the large stone hill fort is visible from the highway and worth an hour if you have time.
- Davanagere, famous across Karnataka for its benne dose, a butter-rich dosa that many travellers stop for.
Tell your driver where you would like to stop when you start, so the day can be planned around it.

Plan your trip
Round trip, one-way drop or onward journey
With a round trip of about 820 km, plan at least two days if you are coming back by car. Many business travellers book the cab for the whole visit so the same car handles meetings in Hubballi and Dharwad. Round trips are billed on actual kilometres, with a minimum of 300 km per day and the driver allowance on top.
If you only need to get there, a one-way drop taxi is the simpler option. Hubli also works as a base for wider north Karnataka trips: Hampi is a popular add-on, and travellers continuing towards the coast can look at our Goa and Gokarna routes.
