A Chikmagalur to Bangalore cab covers about 245 km in 5–5.5 hours, descending from Karnataka's coffee hills to the city via Belur, Hassan and the four-lane NH75. It is the usual way home after a stay in the estates around Chikmagalur, Mullayanagiri or Baba Budangiri, and the route passes the Hoysala temples at Belur, making it easy to add a heritage stop on the way.
One-way fares are charged on at least 130 km. Round-trip fares are for the same car returning to Chikmagalur (490 km over 1 day, with a daily minimum). Toll, parking and state permit are extra.
From Chikmagalur town, the road runs south through coffee estates and farmland to Belur, home of the Chennakeshava temple, then on to Hassan. At Hassan the route joins NH75, a fast four-lane highway through Channarayapatna, Hirisave, Kunigal and Nelamangala into Bangalore. An alternative via Kadur, Tiptur and Tumkur is sometimes used depending on traffic and your drop point in north Bangalore. If you are coming from a homestay near Mullayanagiri or Kemmangundi, allow extra time for the hill roads down to town.
Monsoon months (June to September) turn the hills a deep green but bring mist, heavy rain and slower ghat driving on the way to Bangalore; landslide closures are possible in very wet spells. October to March is the most comfortable time, while long weekends bring heavier traffic around the hill towns.
