You cross 26 toll plazas across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand. For a car the published fees add up to ₹1,600 one way, about ₹0.88 per km. 10 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹800 extra to be safe.
At 31 h 40 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.
Nainital 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.

Around ₹16,609 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹14,209 + toll ₹2,400), or ₹32,352 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹4,152 each, one way.
Plan on about 31 h 40 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 22 h 39 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹7,895, 3-axle ₹9,765, 4–6 axle ₹12,355, 7+ axle ₹14,985 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Nainital to Vijayawada toll is the same ~₹2,400 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Nainital's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
