What Is the Driving Distance and Best Driving Routes?

Driving distance from Kanakapura Road to Whitefield is 36.5 kilometres on the Outer Ring Road, taking 85 to 110 minutes, or 42.1 kilometres on NICE Road, taking 70 to 85 minutes.

People driving between these two areas use three main road choices:

Route 3 (via Old Airport Road - 38.0 km): You pass through Banashankari, Jayanagar, Koramangala, and Old Airport Road through Kundalahalli to get into Whitefield. Travel time takes 90 to 115 minutes due to city red lights.

Fuel use for a small petrol car covering this 36.5 km trip averages 2.8 to 3.5 litres. Heavy road traffic happens from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM and 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, so noon travel is much faster.
