Start of the trip
The driver calls fifteen minutes before 5:00 am and collects you anywhere in Bangalore. If you live near the airport, the car can take the outer ring road by Doddaballapur to Dobbaspet and join NH48 without entering the city; between mid November and mid February, though, fog sits over the north side until about 8:30 am, so the driver goes gently. Mumbai is about 985 km away, two driving days with a night at Kolhapur. Carry water and a light snack. Breakfast is at Tumakuru.

Quick breakfast
Tumakuru, 70 km out, is the first breakfast halt. Thatte idli is the local plate, a broad idli steamed on a plate, said to have started at Kyathsandra right by the city. Four people eat in 20 minutes. Climbers can note Madhugiri, about 43 km away, with one of the largest monolith hills in Asia and a hill fort; the climb takes 2 to 3 hours, so it is a separate trip. Tumakuru (Tumkur) is where coconut country begins.

Tea and fuel
Chitradurga, 200 km out, is a quick tea and fuel halt; 785 km still lie ahead, so the car does not linger. The stone fort on the hill has seven rings of walls and the gap in the rocks where Onake Obavva is said to have held off Hyder Ali's men. A car reaches the fort parking near Gate 3 in minutes, but the visit takes two hours, so save it for the drive home. Davangere is about 65 km on.

Drive on
The car usually drives through Davangere, 265 km out, since breakfast was not long ago. If someone wants a snack, benne dose, the butter dosa this city is known for, is quick to order and comes with coconut chutney; a GI tag was sought for it in 2024 and refused, because it is made all over Karnataka. Davangere is also a big railway junction. Haveri is about 70 km ahead on NH48.

Drive on
Haveri, about 335 km from home, is another drive through for the car. This is chilli country, and the Byadagi variety grown in the district is valued for its deep red colour more than its bite; the town is also known for cardamom garlands. If someone in the family cooks, a five minute halt for a packet of chilli powder is worth it. The Siddheshwara temple in town is Western Chalukya work. Hubballi, where lunch waits, lies about 70 km ahead.

Lunch halt
Hubballi is the lunch halt, around 405 km out and the end of the first long stretch. North Karnataka meals here centre on jolada rotti, flat jowar bread served with curries, and anyone wanting a lighter bite can order girmit and mirchi bajji. Boxes of Dharwad pedha are on sale all over the twin city. The highway skirts the busy centre, so the halt costs little extra time. Belagavi is roughly 95 km further along NH48.

Tea and stretch
Afternoon tea is at Belagavi, roughly 500 km from Bangalore. The city sits in the Western Ghats foothills close to the Maharashtra and Goa borders, and the air turns cooler here; it has the coldest winters in Karnataka. Kunda, the local milk sweet, goes well with tea. On a slower drive home you could visit Belgaum Fort, which holds the Kamal Basadi Jain temple. Kolhapur, tonight's halt, lies about 115 km ahead by Sankeshwar and Nipani.

Rest for the night
Day one ends at Kolhapur, about 615 km from home, on the Panchganga river in south Maharashtra. Dinner here is fiery; locals claim their misal is the hottest in the state, and tambda rassa, a red mutton broth, is the other famous dish. Early risers can visit the Mahalakshmi temple, also called Ambabai, about 5 km off the highway. Kolhapuri chappals, braided leather sandals tanned with vegetable dyes, are the buy. The driver gets a full night's rest too.

Drive on
On the morning of day two the car passes Satara, roughly 745 km from Bangalore. The town sits close to where the Krishna and Venna rivers meet, and its name comes from the seven forts in the hills around it; Shivaji captured Satara fort in 1673. No halt is needed. On a slower return, the Yavateshwar temple, built in the Hemadpanti style of the Yadava period, is a pleasant detour. Pune lies roughly 100 km further north.

Short food halt
The car stops briefly on the Pune bypass, about 840 km out, for a snack. Puneri misal, a version of misal pav made with poha, and vada pav are the quick bites. The city was renamed from Poona in 1978, and its old Peshwa palace, Shaniwar Wada, stands on the Mutha river, but unless you have work in town the car stays on the bypass. Lonavala comes about 65 km later, on the expressway.

Ghat top
Lonavala, about 910 km out, crowns the ghat at around 622 m, with Khandala as its twin. The town is famous for chikki, a brittle of nuts and jaggery, and a box makes a handy gift for whoever you are visiting in Mumbai. In July and August more rain falls here than many cities get in a year, so monsoon drives down the ghat are slow. Beyond Lonavala the road descends past Khopoli towards Navi Mumbai.

Drop at your stay
By car the whole journey works out to about 18 hours of driving with stops, spread over two days. Mumbai traffic is worst in the morning and evening office hours, so we try to time the city entry around them. Send the full address and pin, and the driver picks the shortest road to your building. For the first evening, vada pav and pav bhaji are the city's fast, filling food. The car drops you right at the door.
Moving to Mumbai, or driving up with the family and the bags? A Bangalore to Mumbai cab takes up to seven people door to door, with one night on the way so nobody arrives worn out. We pick up from your home, office or the airport. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels for a one way taxi or a round trip.
Route | One way | Mumbai and back | Time by cab |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Mumbai via Hubballi, Kolhapur and Pune | About 985 km | About 1,970 km | About 18 hr with stops |
The round trip is about 1,970 km. We bill it as 7 days and 2,100 km, at 300 km a day. Each way is two days on the road, sleeping at Kolhapur. Leftover km cover local trips at the other end. Drop only? That is ₹2 a km above the return rate, on request. Fuel, driver and AC are in the rate. Driver allowance ₹350 to ₹400 a day; tolls, parking, Maharashtra permit and GST at actual.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 7 days, 2,100 km |
|---|---|---|
₹12 | ₹27,650 | |
₹14 | ₹31,850 | |
₹18 | ₹40,600 | |
₹20 | ₹44,800 |
Totals are the km fare plus the day driver allowance. Extra: night driver allowance (₹350 to ₹400 a night, by size), tolls, parking and GST. Shared by 7, 7 days in the Toyota Innova Crysta is about ₹6,400 a person.
A couple or a family of four: Toyota Etios or Dzire. Elders who want more legroom, or six people, should book the Innova Crysta; the Innova costs a little less. For a bigger group, the Bangalore to Mumbai tempo traveller works out cheaper.
Eight or more people? The Bangalore to Mumbai tempo traveller costs less than two cars. Only going as far as Shirdi? See the Bangalore to Shirdi cab.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
Mumbai is about 985 km from Bangalore by road on NH48, through Chitradurga, Hubballi, Belagavi, Kolhapur and Pune, then the expressway past Lonavala, so about 1,970 km for the round trip. A car takes about 18 hours of driving with stops, over two days, sleeping at Kolhapur, about 615 km out.
For the Innova Crysta: 2,100 km at ₹20/km is ₹42,000. Driver allowance for 7 days is ₹2,800. Add tolls, the Maharashtra permit, parking and GST as they come.
Yes. For a Bangalore to Mumbai one way taxi we add ₹2 a km to the round trip rate and count the car going back. The quote is written.
Five with luggage need the Innova or Innova Crysta. See all cars on cab rental in Bangalore.
An Innova Crysta takes four or five people with suitcases. For more boxes ask for a roof carrier when you book. Furniture needs a goods vehicle, which we do not run.
Usually Kolhapur, about 615 km from Bangalore. Day two is then about 370 km, with the Lonavala ghat and the city traffic.
In the monsoon. Belagavi gets almost steady rain from June to September, and around Lonavala July and August bring more rain than many cities see in a year, so the ghat down to Mumbai is slow and misty. October to February is the easiest time for the two day drive. Also avoid entering Mumbai in the morning and evening rush.
Yes, if the days are split well. Day one runs about 615 km to Kolhapur with halts every two to three hours; day two is about 370 km. Seat elders in front, carry their medicines in the cabin, and choose a Kolhapur hotel near the highway so they rest early. If needed, we can add a third day with a night at Belagavi and another at Pune.
