Outstation route
Bangalore to Krishnagiri Cab Booking
Krishnagiri sits just across the Karnataka border in Tamil Nadu and is one of the shortest outstation drives from Bengaluru. Book a cab with driver for a day trip, a one-way drop, or as a stop on a longer journey south.
The route
The drive to Krishnagiri
The road runs south from Bengaluru through Hosur and on to Krishnagiri, using NH 44 and NH 844 according to the route planner. Much of it is a wide highway, so the time you lose is mostly in city traffic at the Bengaluru end.
| Road distance | About 79 km one way |
| Driving time (route planner) | About 1 h 15 min without traffic delays or stops |
| Main roads on the route | NH 44, NH 844 |
| Round trip | About 160 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 times above are route-planner driving times without traffic or stops. Since Krishnagiri is in Tamil Nadu, interstate permit charges and tolls are charged extra.
At the destination
What you will find in Krishnagiri
Krishnagiri is a district town surrounded by rocky hills and mango orchards, and it is well known across the region for its mangoes. The Thenpennai river, also called the Pennaiyar, flows through the district, and the Krishnagiri Dam (KRP Dam) on it is a popular picnic spot. The old hill fort overlooking the town is another landmark.
Most people do not stop here as a destination on its own. It is useful as a base for visiting family, for business calls, or as a halt on the way to Chennai, Pondicherry or the hills near Ooty.
Plan your trip
Day trip, drop or stopover
At about 79 km one way, a same-day return is easy: you can leave in the morning, finish your work or visit and be back in Bengaluru by evening. If you want to add the dam or a fort visit, start early and keep a little buffer for traffic on the way back.
For a drop only, ask about a one-way taxi when you call, so you are not paying for the return leg unnecessarily. Families heading for a longer holiday can use Krishnagiri as the first halt and carry on the next morning.
Vehicles
Picking a car for a short outstation hop
A Dzire or Ciaz is enough for one to three passengers. If you are travelling with a larger family or a lot of luggage, take an Innova or Innova Crysta. For a wedding party or an office group, a Tempo Traveller keeps everyone in one vehicle.
