Chennai to Bangalore is one of the busiest intercity routes in South India. A one way drop taxi is often the most comfortable way to make the trip, with door to door pickup and no need to pay for the empty return journey.
Distance and travel time
The drive is about 350 km and usually takes 6 to 7 hours via the Chennai Bangalore highway (NH 48) through Sriperumbudur, Vellore, Ambur and Krishnagiri. Starting early in the morning helps you avoid city traffic at both ends.
