Hampi to Nandi Hills is a comfortable one-day drive of 344 km, mostly on Bidar - Lakshmisagara Highway and NH48.
You cross 6 toll plazas. For a car the published fees add up to ₹465 one way, about ₹1.35 per km, which is on the expensive side for Indian highways. 1 plaza on this route does not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹80 extra to be safe.
Nandi Hills is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.
Fees for a single journey with FASTag. Return fees apply when you come back through the same plaza within 24 hours; a monthly pass covers 50 single journeys in a month.
