Door pickup
The cab picks you up at 6 am and takes Old Madras Road to Hoskote, where it turns off the Kolar highway for the road through Chintamani and Madanapalle. Kadapa is 260 km away, about five hours with two short halts, so you arrive by late morning. Pickups near the airport can use the ring road via Devanahalli to reach Hoskote. Seven people visiting the dargah fit an Innova Crysta with their bags. Carry water, as the second half of the drive is through hot, dry country.

Early biryani or idli
Hoskote, 30 km out, is known across Bangalore for dum biryani eaten at dawn, and the town also has idli and coffee for those who prefer it. In a car you can stop for fifteen minutes or keep going and eat at Chintamani. On Sundays the queues near the biryani places are long and cars park along the road. After Hoskote the cab leaves NH75 and heads north east. Our own office is here, close to the route.

Short halt
Chintamani, 80 km out, is the last Karnataka town of any size on this road, a taluk headquarters known for its silk and tomato markets. A cab can stop for ten minutes for tea and a packet of chakli or nippat, the crisp local snacks. Fuel and ATMs are on the main road. Kaivara, with its hill temples, is about 11 km away if anyone wants it on the return. After Chintamani the road heads for the state border.

Into Andhra Pradesh
You cross into Andhra Pradesh before Madanapalle, 140 km out. The town claims one of the biggest tomato markets in Asia, and the lorries show it in the mornings. Hotels serve pesarattu and upma if anyone missed breakfast. Madanapalle is the headquarters of Annamayya district. Tea and a washroom, fifteen minutes, then on along NH340 towards Rayachoti and Kadapa. The land from here gets drier and rockier. Fuel is easy to find here before the drier stretch.

Dry hills, short halt
Rayachoti, 210 km out, is one of the oldest towns of Andhra Pradesh and was the headquarters of Annamayya district until the end of 2025. Its Veerabhadra Swamy temple, about a thousand years old, stands on the bank of the Mandavya river, close to the main road; a car can fit in a short darshan. NH40, the Rayalaseema road from Kurnool to Chittoor, crosses NH340 here. Kadapa is about 50 km on, under an hour.

Hotel or home
A cab reaches Kadapa in about five hours with two short halts. The city lies south of the Penna river, ringed on three sides by the Nallamala and Palkonda hills, and its name is said to come from gadapa, the gateway on the old pilgrim route to Tirumala. Lunch here is Andhra style and spicy; try a karam dosa, or the Rayalaseema plate of ragi sangati with natu kodi. The driver drops you at your hotel or the house.
Visiting the Ameen Peer dargah, family in Kadapa, or an office there? For up to seven people a car does the run comfortably in about five hours. Book a Bangalore to Kadapa cab with Tejas Tours & Travels; every car and rate is on cab rental in Bangalore.

Yes. The cab stops at Chintamani and Madanapalle, and anywhere else on request. Elders sit best in the middle row of an Innova. Carry water and light snacks for the hot second half, and a cushion for the smaller roads after Madanapalle.
