Boarding point
At 585 km this is a long day in a car, so the cab is at your door at 5 am sharp. Four people with four suitcases are better off in an Innova than a Dzire. The route leaves on Old Madras Road, turns north east at Hoskote and runs through Chintamani and Madanapalle into Rayalaseema, then Kadapa, Badvel and Kanigiri before the coastal plain. Charge the phones the night before and keep a flask of tea in the car, as the first proper meal is at Madanapalle.

Out of town
The cab is through Hoskote, 30 km out, before the town is awake. This is where the route parts from NH75, the highway to Kolar, and takes the two lane road north east. Hoskote is known for mutton biryani at first light, but on a 585 km day the car keeps moving and the biryani waits for the trip home. Our own office is in Hoskote, so the driver has backup close by for the first hour. The next town is Chintamani, 45 km on.

Tea, if needed
Chintamani, 75 km out, is the last sizeable Karnataka town on the road. If anyone needs tea, ten minutes on the main road is enough; otherwise the cab drives on to the border. The town trades silk and tomatoes in big markets, and its crisp chakli and nippat travel well for a long drive. Fuel and ATMs are easy here. Rayalpadu and the Andhra Pradesh border follow, and breakfast is at Madanapalle, 55 km ahead.

Morning breakfast
Breakfast at Madanapalle, 130 km out, about two and a half hours from home. Hotels serve pesarattu and upma, and four people eat in twenty minutes. Madanapalle is the headquarters of Annamayya district and handles a huge tomato trade, so the bypass is quicker than the town centre in the morning. Mango, tamarind and custard apple are sold here in season. From here NH340 carries on through dry, rocky Rayalaseema country towards Rayachoti.

Old town on the river
Rayachoti, 205 km out, is passed without a halt in a car. It is one of the oldest towns of Andhra Pradesh, standing on the Mandavya river, and its Veerabhadra Swamy temple is said to be a thousand years old. Two national highways cross here: NH340 towards Kadapa and NH40, the Rayalaseema road from Kurnool to Chittoor. The land is bare and hot, so keep water within reach. Kadapa is about 50 km ahead.

Quick tea
Kadapa, 255 km out, is roughly the halfway mark, and a car usually stops only ten minutes for tea and the local karam dosa. The Ameen Peer Dargah, a Sufi shrine, is a short drive from the road. Families who would rather split the drive can stay the night here; the city has hotels, fuel and ATMs, and the second day is then a relaxed run to Guntur. Kadapa lies south of the Penna river, and the road north from here is narrower, so the driver fills the tank.

Through Badvel
Badvel, 345 km out, is a municipality and revenue division headquarters of Kadapa district, on the road from Kadapa towards Kanigiri. This stretch is a quieter two lane road with small towns and long empty bits, so the driver keeps a steady pace and avoids pushing in the heat of midday. A short restroom stop is possible at a fuel station if anyone asks. Kanigiri, the lunch town, is 80 km on, and Guntur still about 240 km away.

Lunch stop
By Kanigiri, 425 km out, it is lunch time. Hotels serve Andhra meals with gongura, the sour sorrel leaf pickle of this region, and the driver eats at the same time. The town sits low, at about 95 m, and summers here are very hot. On its northern edge rises Kanigiri hill, about 380 m high; the name comes from Kanakagiri, the gold hill. Keep forty minutes. From here the road heads east towards the coastal plain and Addanki.

Snack stop
The cab stops at Addanki, 510 km out, for tea and mirchi bajji, the fat green chilli fritter that this part of Andhra loves. Buy water for the last stretch here. Addanki is a Prakasam district town on the coastal plain at about 24 m, and an early Telugu verse inscription found near its Thousand Pillar temple is named after the town. Cotton and chilli fields line the road onward. Guntur is about 75 km, a little over an hour and a half.

Arrival and drop
By car Guntur is about ten and a half hours from Bangalore with stops. The driver drops you at the door of your hotel or home. Guntur is one of the big chilli trading centres of India, and the chillies of its market yard are known across the country, a good thing to carry back. Spicy Andhra meals and mirchi bajji are everywhere in town. The Agastyeshwara temple is among the oldest in the city. Vijayawada is only about 35 km further if anyone is going on.
Visiting family in Guntur, or a business trip to the chilli yard, up to seven people? A Bangalore to Guntur cab does the drive in one long day through Kadapa. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels for a one way taxi or a round trip.

Count heads and bags. Four light travellers fit a Dzire; four with suitcases are happier in an Innova. Six or seven people need the Innova Crysta. The Toyota Etios has a slightly bigger boot than the Dzire. Eight or more? See the Bangalore to Guntur tempo traveller.

Guntur is about 585 km from Bangalore by Hoskote, Chintamani, Madanapalle, Kadapa, Badvel, Kanigiri and Addanki, so about 1,170 km for the round trip. A cab takes about 10.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and short halts, or two easier days with a night at Kadapa.
A Innova Crysta is ₹24,000 for 4 days (1,200 km at ₹20/km), plus ₹1,600 driver allowance. Tolls, the Andhra Pradesh permit, parking and GST are extra, at actual.
Yes. A Bangalore to Guntur one way taxi is billed at ₹2 a km over the round trip rate, with the driver return counted. You get the fare in writing before you pay.
Tight. Take the Etios for a bigger boot, or an Innova. All cars are listed on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. Vijayawada is about 35 km from Guntur. A second drop is just added km.
Via Madanapalle, Kadapa and Kanigiri, the shortest road. Via Tirupati and Ongole is longer but has more four lane road.
November to February. From March to June the plains around Kadapa, Badvel and Kanigiri are very hot, and the long middle of the day is tiring even with AC, so start at 5 am and rest at lunch. The rains reach the Guntur side mainly from June to November, when the driver slows on the smaller roads after Kadapa.
For most elders, yes. Ten and a half hours in a car is long, so we suggest a night at Kadapa, about halfway, and an easy second day. Elders sit in the middle row of an Innova, with a cushion and water. The driver stops whenever anyone needs a break.
