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 are route-planner figures without traffic or stops, so plan for breaks. The trip crosses a state border, which means interstate permit charges and tolls are extra.
Things to see
What Vijayawada is known for
- Kanaka Durga Temple, on Indrakeeladri hill above the river, a major Durga shrine of the region.

Plan your trip
Planning the journey
A drive of this length needs at least two days if you want to arrive rested and see anything. Many travellers break the journey halfway, and some choose a one-way drop rather than paying for the return; see one way taxi from Bangalore for details.
Round trips are billed on actual kilometres, with a minimum of 300 km per day and the driver allowance added. Tolls and parking are paid separately. The fare for your dates is confirmed at booking.
Vijayawada also fits into a longer Andhra circuit with Tirupati, Hyderabad or Mantralayam.
Who it suits
Business, family and pilgrim trips
Business travellers often prefer a sedan for a solo or two-person run, while families and pilgrim groups need an Innova Crysta or a Tempo Traveller.
If you are travelling for a wedding or a family function, the extra legroom of an Innova makes a long overnight stretch easier on elders. Share the number of passengers and bags when you call, and we will suggest a vehicle that suits the group and the road.
