These figures are an ESTIMATE for planning only, based on published per-km rates. Final fare depends on exact pickup point, route taken, number of days, sightseeing detours and vehicle availability. Tolls, parking, forest/interstate permits and state tax are additional and paid actuals.
Wildlife safari charges and Karnataka Forest Department entry/permit fees at Nagarhole National Park are separate from the cab fare and paid directly at the resort or park gate.
Which Cab Should You Choose for Kabini?
Most guests travel as families or small groups for a resort stay, so a Sedan or Innova Crysta comfortably covers most bookings.
Sedan
Best for: 1–4 passengers, couples, light luggage, budget-focused one-way or round trips.
Ertiga
Best for: 4–6 passengers, small families, moderate luggage.
Innova Crysta
Best for: families wanting extra cabin space, senior travellers, multi-day trips, more luggage.
Tempo Traveller (9–12 seater)
Best for: groups larger than six, corporate teams, joint families and group tours.
One-Way & Round Trip Options
Book a one-way cab from Bangalore to Kabini when you only need the drop. A one-way drop suits guests with a pre-booked resort package including local transfers.
A round-trip cab keeps the same vehicle and driver for the return journey and any sightseeing in between. A round trip is preferred for a 1–2 night wildlife resort stay where the same cab returns you to Bangalore.
Multi-day round trips are billed on total kilometres run plus driver bata per night halt (minimum daily km applies as per the vehicle chosen) — request a specific quotation for your dates.
