Two-day trip with Lepakshi and Puttaparthi

A Bangalore → Lepakshi → Puttaparthi → Anantapur → Bangalore loop is about 500 km over two days. In an Innova Crysta that is 500 × ₹18 = ₹9,000 plus ₹800 bata, about ₹9,800.

The drive from Bangalore to Anantapur
The whole route runs on NH44, a four-to-six-lane highway, so it is one of the easier long drives out of Bangalore. Leaving before 6 am gets you past Hebbal and the airport road ahead of the traffic. After Devanahalli the highway passes Chikkaballapur and Bagepalli, where there are fuel stations, washrooms and highway eateries for a breakfast stop. It then crosses into Andhra Pradesh at Kodikonda.
The turn for Lepakshi comes soon after the border. The detour adds about an hour, including time to see the hanging pillar and the large monolithic Nandi. Further north, the highway passes Penukonda, with its hilltop fort and the Kia car plant, before reaching Anantapur town.
Who books this route
- Families and pilgrims visiting Puttaparthi, Lepakshi, or the ISKCON temple in Anantapur.
- Corporate travellers heading to the industrial area around Penukonda, and to offices and plants in Anantapur district.
- Students and parents travelling to colleges and universities in Anantapur, especially at the start and end of term when luggage is heavy.
