Doorstep start
The driver calls fifteen minutes ahead and collects you at 5:30 am from anywhere in Bangalore. The car heads north on Bellary Road, the NH44, past Hebbal; the two new flyover loops there, opened in 2025, cut peak hour jams by about a quarter. Beyond Yelahanka the highway runs as the airport expressway past Devanahalli. Keep an ID card handy, since most of the road is in Andhra Pradesh. Raichur is about 440 km away, and breakfast is at Chikkaballapur.

Breakfast
About 60 km up NH44 the car pulls in at Chikkaballapur for a 20 minute breakfast of idli, vada and strong coffee. Locals call the place Panchagiri, after the five hills that surround it; the most famous of them, Nandi Hill, rises about 10 km off. The engineer Sir M. Visvesvaraya was born at Muddenahalli, a village just outside town. Grapes of the Bangalore Blue variety grow across the Nandi valley, so in season a box from the roadside makes a sweet buy.

Drive past
The car drives straight past Penukonda, roughly 145 km from home. After Krishna Deva Raya's reign this town became one of the strongholds of the Vijayanagara kings, and its fort walls and gateways still climb the hill beside the road. A history lover could return for Gagan Mahal, a summer palace built in 1575 whose style blends Hindu and Islamic features. Puttaparthi lies about 36 km away. Anantapur comes up after around 75 km more.

Snack halt
Anantapur, around 220 km out, is a snack halt of fifteen minutes. This is Rayalaseema, where food is famously hot; ragi sangati with country chicken curry is the classic meal, and uggani with mirchi bajji is a common breakfast. The ISKCON temple, the Clock Tower and Sapthagiri Circle are the city's landmarks. The district is the driest in Andhra Pradesh, so keep water in the car. Gooty is about 50 km ahead on NH44.

Tea and turn west
Gooty, about 270 km out, is a short tea stop and the point where the car leaves NH44. Here the highway meets the old road to Bellary and Ankola, and routes to Guntakal, Adoni and Raichur turn west. Look up at Gooty fort, on a cluster of hills rising to about 680 m; Murari Rao's seat, a small pavilion on a 300 m cliff, gives a view over the town for anyone who climbs. Swap seats now if anyone feels carsick.

Lunch
Lunch is at Adoni, about 360 km from Bangalore. Expect Andhra style rice meals, hot curries and pickles; the car parks right outside the hotel. This is a busy cotton trading town, and the fort on its rocky hills changed hands from Vijayanagara rulers to the Bijapur sultans, then Aurangzeb and finally Tipu Sultan. A short 2 km detour reaches Ramajala lake, framed by bare rock. From Adoni, Mantralayam lies roughly 40 km further.

Darshan halt
Mantralayam, around 400 km out on the bank of the Tungabhadra, is worth the turn if you have time for darshan. The dress rule is strict: men take off shirt and banian before going in, and women should wear traditional Indian clothes. Thursday queues can stretch to a couple of hours, while other days usually move in about half an hour. The mutt serves free prasadam meals at midday and in the evening. Raichur lies some 40 km on, back in Karnataka.

Drop at the door
With these halts, the car reaches Raichur in about 8 hours. This district town has a junction on the Mumbai to Chennai rail line, plus plenty of hotels and fuel stations. For dinner, ask the driver about jolada rotti meals and the local Raichur rice. The city stands in the fertile doab between the Krishna and the Tungabhadra rivers. April to June is fiercely hot, so pack caps and plenty of drinking water. The car drops you right at the door.
Heading home to Raichur, or on a work trip there, with up to seven people? A Bangalore to Raichur cab covers it in one day, and you can stop at Mantralayam on the way. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels for a one way taxi or a return trip.

|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore to Raichur via Anantapur, Adoni and Mantralayam | About 440 km | About 880 km | About 8 hr with stops |
Raichur and back is about 880 km. With our 300 km a day minimum, that is 3 days, billed at 900 km. One way trips run ₹2 a km higher; the quote comes with your date. Fuel, driver and AC are in the rate. The driver allowance is ₹350 to ₹400 a day, and tolls, parking, Andhra Pradesh permit and GST at actual.
Vehicle | Rate per km | 3 days, 900 km | 4 days, 1,200 km | 5 days, 1,500 km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
₹12 | ₹11,850 | ₹15,800 | ₹19,750 | |

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, 4 days in the Toyota Innova Crysta is about ₹3,660 a person.
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. For a bigger group, the Bangalore to Raichur tempo traveller works out cheaper.
Larger family? The Bangalore to Raichur tempo traveller. Only Mantralayam this time? See the Bangalore to Mantralayam cab and the Bangalore to Mantralayam travel guide.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
Raichur is about 440 km from Bangalore by NH44 through Chikkaballapur, Penukonda, Anantapur and Gooty, then west by Adoni and Mantralayam, so roughly 880 km for the round trip. A car takes about 8 hours with breakfast at Chikkaballapur, lunch at Adoni and a halt at Mantralayam.
For the Innova Crysta: 900 km at ₹20/km is ₹18,000. Driver allowance for 3 days is ₹1,200. Add tolls, the Andhra Pradesh permit, parking and GST as they come.
Yes, as a Bangalore to Raichur one way taxi. Send your date; the quote shows the km, the ₹2 a km one way rate and the allowance.
Five with luggage need the Innova or Innova Crysta. See all cars on cab rental in Bangalore.
Yes. It is right on this road, 40 km before Raichur. Keep about an hour for darshan.
Yes, via Kurnool or via Ballari. The driver picks the road by the season and the traffic.
It is very hot. Raichur's season runs from about October or November to March; from April the heat is severe, and the road crosses Anantapur district, the driest part of Andhra Pradesh. The car's AC keeps the cabin cool, but halts in the open are tiring. In summer start early, carry plenty of water, and keep darshan at Mantralayam for the morning.
We prefer a day drive. The road runs about 440 km through Adoni, Gooty and Anantapur, and the stretch west of Gooty is a smaller road where night driving is slow and tiring. Leave Raichur after breakfast, and the car is back in Bangalore by evening. If the function ends late, stay the night and start in the morning.
