Outstation route

Bangalore to Srirangapatna Cab Booking

Srirangapatna is an island town on the Cauvery, packed with temples, a Tipu Sultan heritage trail and river scenery. Booking a private cab from Bangalore lets you see it at an easy pace on the way to or from Mysuru.

The route

The road to Srirangapatna

The drive follows NH 275, the Bengaluru–Mysuru highway, and the turn-off for Srirangapatna comes shortly before Mysuru. It is a Karnataka-only trip, so no interstate permit is needed.

Road distance	About 125 km one way
Driving time (route planner)	About 1 h 45 min without traffic delays or stops
Main roads on the route	NH 275
Round trip	About 255 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.

Those are route-planner figures from central Bengaluru, without traffic or stops. Most of the time on this stretch goes in leaving Bengaluru and in the town stretches near Ramanagara and Mandya, so early starts make the day far more relaxing.

Things to see

Sights in and around Srirangapatna

The town stands on an island formed by the Cauvery, and it was the capital of Tipu Sultan until his death in the siege of 1799. It is one of the richest small heritage towns in the state.

Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, an ancient Vishnu temple with a tall gopura, from which the town takes its name.
Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace (Dariya Daulat Bagh), set in a garden and known for its painted walls.
Gumbaz, the mausoleum of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.
Jama Masjid and the remains of the fort walls.
The river ghats at Sangam and Paschima Vahini, popular for rituals and quiet walks.
Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, a short hop away on the same river.

Entry arrangements and timings change, so check them locally before you go.

Plan your trip

Fitting Srirangapatna into your day

With a one-way drive of about 125 km, Srirangapatna is an easy day out, but there is enough to see that it is worth leaving early. Pilgrims often start with darshan at the temple and then go on to the palace, the Gumbaz and the river. History lovers may want the better part of a day on the monuments alone.

Since a round trip is billed with a minimum of 300 km per day, combining Srirangapatna with Mysuru usually gives better value from the same day. Another popular pairing is a stop at Wonderla on the way out of Bengaluru, which suits a family with children.

For pilgrim groups and extended families, a Tempo Traveller or Innova is the practical choice; a sedan is fine for two to four people. Looking for a drop with no return? Our one way taxi page explains how it works.
