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.
Both values come from route-planner data without traffic or stops. Add time for breaks and for the busy city section at the start.
Proddatur is in Andhra Pradesh, so interstate permit charges and tolls are extra and sit on top of the rate table.
The area
What Proddatur and the surrounding area offer
Proddatur is a commercial town, known for its markets and for the traders and families who travel to and from it. Most visitors from Bengaluru come for work, weddings, family visits or onward temple trips.
- Kadapa: the district headquarters, with historic temples and the Ontimitta Kodandarama temple on its outskirts. See our Bangalore to Kadapa cab page.
- Gandikota: a dramatic gorge cut by the Penna river, popular as a scenic day out from the Proddatur and Jammalamadugu area.
- Mantralayam and Ahobilam: temple destinations in neighbouring Kurnool district that many families link with a trip here. See Mantralayam.
Check current details with local sources before heading to any temple or viewpoint, as access arrangements can change.
Plan your trip
Day trip, overnight stay and vehicle choice
At about 280 km one way, Proddatur can be done as a long single-day trip if you start very early and return late. That is tiring, so most people choose to stay a night. If your plan includes Gandikota or Kadapa as well, plan on two days.
For one or two travellers a sedan is enough. For a family with luggage, an Innova Crysta is more comfortable over this distance. Bigger groups attending a wedding or function can book a Tempo Traveller.
The same corridor leads on to Tirupati and Hyderabad, so you can extend the journey if needed.
Billing
One-way and round-trip billing
Round trips are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, plus the driver allowance in the rate table. Tolls, parking and interstate permit charges are extra. If you only need a drop, read about our one way taxi service.
