Outstation route
Bangalore to Raichur Cab
Raichur lies in the dry north-eastern part of Karnataka, in the doab between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers. A private cab from Bangalore works well for business trips, family visits and pilgrims continuing towards Mantralayam.

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 distance and time above are route-planner figures without traffic or stops. Stretches of two-lane state highway can slow trucks and cars alike, so add time for tea breaks and a proper meal halt.
Things to see
What Raichur is known for
- Raichur Fort, a hill-top fortress with massive stone walls, gateways and old inscriptions.
- Ek Minar Masjid and Jami Masjid, among the older monuments inside the town.
- Mudgal, a fort town in the district with a hill fort of its own.
- Maski, an archaeological site linked to a well-known Ashokan edict.
The district is also known for its rice, cotton and the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers. Opening arrangements at the monuments change, so check locally on the day.
Plan your trip
Planning a Raichur trip, including Mantralayam
At about 425 km each way, a same-day round trip is not realistic. Most visitors travel up, stay a night and return the next day, or arrange a one-way drop and book the return later. Our one-way taxi page explains that option.
Many pilgrims use Raichur as a gateway to Sri Raghavendra Swami’s Brindavana at Mantralayam, which lies across the river in Andhra Pradesh. If you continue there, interstate permit charges and tolls are extra. For sightseeing on the same circuit, see Hampi and Hubli.
Vehicles
Which cab suits your group
A sedan is comfortable for one or two business travellers. Families of five or six usually prefer an Innova Crysta for the long distance, and wedding or pilgrimage groups can ask for a Tempo Traveller.
Round trips are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, plus the driver allowance. Tolls and parking are extra, and the fare is confirmed when you book.
