Bhopal to Kolar Dam Taxi Service taxi service by Krishna Travels — Bhopal to Kolar Dam taxi service

The road distance from Bhopal to Kolar Dam is approximately 30–38 km, and the drive takes around 50–75 minutes via Kolar Road onwards past Chunabhatti. Krishna Travels has run this route since 1997 with one-way drops, same-day returns and multi-day packages depending on what you need. A popular short outing for Bhopal families, particularly after the monsoon. There is very little cab availability for the return leg after dark, so book a round trip rather than a one-way drop.

Fare: What Is Included and What Is Not

Fares on this route are quoted per kilometre by vehicle type. A round trip is billed on the total distance travelled with a minimum daily running, typically 250 to 300 km per day on outstation bookings. A one-way drop is priced for the leg you travel plus a stated return component, because the vehicle has to come back to Bhopal empty.

Included: the vehicle, fuel, driver and the stated kilometres.
Billed separately: toll plazas, state permits on interstate routes, parking at the destination, and the driver's night halt and food allowance for each night away from Bhopal.
Not included: entry tickets at monuments and parks, guide fees, boat or ropeway charges, and accommodation.

We put all of this in writing before you book. If a quote from anyone comes in well below the market for this distance, check whether toll, permit and driver allowance have been left out — that is almost always where the gap is.

Best time to travel

The best season for this trip is July to February. Outside that window the trip is still perfectly doable — it just changes what you should expect on the ground and how much buffer to build into the driving.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Vehicle	Seating	Luggage	Best suited to
Hatchback (WagonR, Swift)	4 passengers	1 large + 2 cabin bags	City runs and short drops
Sedan (Dzire, Etios, Aura)	4 passengers	2 large + 2 cabin bags	Airport transfers and 2–3 person outstation trips
Ertiga / Innova	6–7 passengers	3 large bags	Family trips and sightseeing
Innova Crysta	6–7 passengers	4 large bags	Long outstation routes over 300 km
Tempo Traveller (12/17/20)	12–20 passengers	Roof carrier + rear space	Group pilgrimage, weddings, corporate outings

Indicative capacities. Fares are quoted per kilometre by vehicle type; toll, parking, state permits and driver allowance are billed separately and itemised on the invoice. Confirm the current rate when you book.

For this route we would normally suggest a Hatchback or Sedan. The general rule: under 150 km a hatchback or sedan is fine; between 150 and 300 km take a sedan for two or three people and an Ertiga for a family; over 300 km the Innova Crysta earns its premium in ride quality and rear AC. For groups of eight or more the Tempo Traveller is both cheaper per head and easier to coordinate than two cars.
