Travellers checking the bangalore to maddur distance usually want to know whether it is worth stopping, and the figures say yes: it is short enough for a relaxed outing.
| Road distance | About 83 km one way |

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 figures come from a route planner and exclude traffic and stops. Maddur is a classic tiffin halt, so build in time to sit down and eat.
Why stop here
Maddur vada and what else to see
- Maddur vada, the onion-flecked, rice-and-semolina fritter that made the town a household name across Karnataka. Roadside hotels and the stalls near the railway station serve it hot.
- The Shimsha river flowing past the town, a pleasant place to stretch your legs.
- The Hole Anjaneya temple on the river bank, a local shrine popular with families from nearby villages.
Maddur does not have large monuments, so think of it as a food and break stop, not a full day’s sightseeing.
Make it a day out
Combining Maddur with other stops
Most visitors add one more place to the day. Heading on, Mandya is next on the highway, and Srirangapatna and Mysuru are the usual destinations beyond. Going the other way, Ramanagara makes a natural stop on the return.
If you are travelling in a group, a Tempo Traveller lets everyone ride together and share the tiffin stop. Our Tempo Traveller rental page has the details.
Booking notes
Billing and timing
This is a within-Karnataka trip, so no state permit is involved. Round-trip bookings are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, which is why a Maddur visit pairs well with a longer run to Mysuru. If you want a one-direction drop instead, see our one-way taxi page.
