The road distance from Pune to Nandi Hills is 845 km via NH48 — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 11 toll plazas across Maharashtra, Karnataka. For a car the published fees add up to ₹840 one way, about ₹0.99 per km. 1 plaza on this route does not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹80 extra to be safe.
At 14 h 30 min of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
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.
