Bangalore to Rajahmundry Cab
Rajahmundry stands on the banks of the Godavari in Andhra Pradesh and is regarded as a cultural centre of the Telugu country. It is one of the longest routes on our Andhra list, so this page covers the Bangalore to Rajahmundry distance and how to plan the journey.
The route
Bangalore to Rajahmundry distance and road

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 are route-planner numbers without traffic or stops. On a real trip, the driver needs rest breaks, and you will want meal stops, so the actual travel time is noticeably longer.
Rajahmundry is in Andhra Pradesh, so interstate permit charges and tolls are extra and are charged on top of the rate table.
The city
What Rajahmundry is known for
Rajahmundry is located where the Godavari river widens before it reaches the sea, and the river shapes the whole character of the city.
- The Godavari ghats: bathing steps and temples along the river, with evening aarti scenes during festivals.
- Godavari bridges: the old Havelock bridge and the newer road and rail bridges are landmarks in themselves.
- Literary heritage: Nannayya, regarded as the first poet of Telugu literature, is associated with the city.
- Pushkaralu: the river festival held on the Godavari once every twelve years draws huge crowds. Check locally for the current schedule.
- Papikondalu: the hills along the Godavari upstream are known for boat cruises. Ask locally about current boat arrangements.
Plan your trip
Splitting the journey and choosing a vehicle
At about 775 km one way, this is a trip to split across at least two days. Many people drive part of the way, halt for the night, and finish the next morning. A return needs the same planning, so allow at least three days in total if you want any time in the city.
For work travel or a family event, an Innova Crysta is the most comfortable car for a journey this long. Two travellers can use a sedan. Wedding parties and large groups can ask for a Tempo Traveller.
Other Andhra Pradesh cities can be linked on the same trip, such as Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam. If you are going via the interior, Hyderabad is another option to consider.
