subject: Transport From Bangalore To Davangere [print this page] Bangalore the state capital of Karnataka and the center of the information and technology sector has come a long way from being the quiet city enveloped in green to being one of the third populous cities in India. Covered with about 40% greenery and numerous lakes, Bangalore is a dream destination not only for tourists but also for people looking for a better life.
Davangere, the administrative headquarters of Davangere District, is the 7th largest city in Karnataka.
The NH 4 connects Bangalore with the city of Davangere. Davangere lies at a distance of 270 km on this route and it takes about 4 hours to complete the journey passing through Tumkur, Hiriyur, Chitradurga, and finally terminating in Davangere. Alternative routes through the SH 48 and NH 7 cover more distance, kilometer wise, and thus take more time to cover the distance. There are rest stops and hotels en route serving food and snacks.

One can book these buses on various net portals. The cost of a seat may cost from Rs. 400 to Rs. 700 depending on the bus.
