Outstation route

Bangalore to Trivandrum Taxi

Thiruvananthapuram, also called Trivandrum, is Kerala’s capital and a gateway to temples, museums and beaches. Here is how the Bangalore to Trivandrum taxi fare works, what the route looks like and how to plan the journey.

The route

Bangalore to Thiruvananthapuram distance by road

The route-planner path uses NH 44 and NH 66, with NH 844 and SH 73 in places. You cross into Kerala partway through the day, so interstate permit charges and tolls are extra.

Road distance	About 705 km one way
Driving time (route planner)	About 9 h 45 min without traffic delays or stops
Main roads on the route	NH 44, NH 66, NH 844, SH 73
Round trip	About 1,415 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.

These figures are route-planner numbers for driving without traffic or stops. A drive this long is best split with a halt, and the time on the road grows with rain or heavy traffic.

Things to see

Why travellers go to Trivandrum

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, a famous Vishnu temple in the old fort area, where entry rules are strict, so check them locally before you go.
Napier Museum, known for its distinctive building and collections of art and artefacts.
Kuthiramalika Palace, a wooden palace with intricate carved horses on its eaves.
Kovalam and Shanghumukham beaches, for sea views and sunsets.

The city is also the starting point for trips further south or north along the coast. Kerala meals, banana chips and handloom cotton are popular things to pick up before heading home, and the fort area has small shops for these.

City traffic can be slow around the temple and the main markets, so allow flexibility for your sightseeing hours.

Plan your trip

What the taxi fare depends on

The Bangalore to Trivandrum taxi fare depends on the vehicle, the number of days, whether you return and the distance driven. Tolls, parking and interstate permit charges are extra. We do not list a single fare here because it changes with your plan; the rate table shows the outstation rates, and the final fare is confirmed when you book.

For a drop only, see one-way taxi. To break the journey, Kochi, Alleppey and Varkala are natural stops.

Vehicles

Picking the right car

On such a long route, comfort matters. A sedan is fine for two or three people, while an Innova, Innova Crysta or Innova Hycross offers more space. Groups can ask about a Tempo Traveller. Round trips are billed on actual kilometres with a minimum of 300 km per day, so a few days in Kerala is billed on the distance you actually travel.

If you plan to return some other way, tell us when you book so that we can confirm the right terms.
