How far is Coorg from Bangalore?

[Shashi]

I want to go for a short holiday which would last only a few days, which means the destination should be near by. One place which I have thought about going to is Coorg.

I would like to know how far Coorg from Bangalore by road is? If the distance is a lot, I would have to choose another destination (which I don't want to).

Please provide details of the distance between Coorg from Bangalore by car and bus, the distance and time it would take.

Hello, @Shashi! Welcome to the forum!

I would like to know how far Coorg from Bangalore by road is? If the distance is a lot, I would have to choose another destination (which I don't want to).

There are three routes that you can take to reach Coorg from Bangalore. These routes have different distances each:

• Route No. 1 via NH75 - Bangalore > Makali > Kunigal > Yadiyur > Hirisave > Channarayapattana > Holenarasipur > Ramanathapura > Kodagu/Coorg.

This route is about 267 kms and it can take you 5 to 6 hours to cover this distance by car. This route also has tolls so it's a bit faster and well-maintained.

• Route No. 2 via NH275 - Bangalore > Makali > Kunigal > Yadiyur > Hirisave > Channarayapattana > Ramanathapura > Kodagu/Coorg.

This route is about 243 kms and it can take you 5 hours to 30 minutes to cover the distance by car. It also has tolls like the first route.

• Route No. 3 via NH75 and SH85 - Bangalore > Kanakapura > Malavalli > Kesare > Chikunda > Maldare > Kodagu/Coorg.

This route is the longest at 280 kms. It can take you 6 to 7 hours to cover this distance by car. Just like the other two routes, it also has tolls.

Please provide details of the distance between Coorg from Bangalore by car and bus, the distance and time it would take.

By bus, the duration of the journey would be a bit longer. This has to do with the stopovers, delays and picking up of the passengers. You can typically reach Coorg from Bangalore within 7 hours by bus, especially if you consider the traffic. Some buses though can reach Coorg as early as 6 hours while others can reach it as late as 9 hours. Since I've already given you the routes by car, here are some bus timings from Bangalore to Coorg, so you can have an idea of their running times:

2. Private Bus Timings

• Poornima Tours (Non AC Seater Bus) - Departure times are 10:00 pm, 10:30 pm and 11:00 pm. Fare is at Rs. 300 per passenger.
