Malvan to Belgaum Bus Timings, Distance & Ticket Price (MSRTC)

 

If you're travelling from the coastal town of Malvan to Belgaum (Belagavi) in Karnataka, the MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation) runs a direct bus service connecting the two. Here's everything you need to know — timings, distance, and ticket price — in one place.

Malvan to Belgaum Bus Timings (MSRTC)

According to the official MSRTC timetable displayed at Malvan bus stand, there are two daily departures from Malvan to Belgaum:

Departure from Malvan	Route Via	Return Bus Reaching Malvan
04:50 AM	Pendur	4:00 PM (16:00)
1:30 PM (13:30)	Kasal	11:55 AM

So if you're catching the early morning bus, it leaves Malvan at 4:50 AM via the Pendur route. There's also an afternoon departure at 1:30 PM, which takes the Kasal route instead.

On the return side, if you're coming back from Belgaum to Malvan, buses reach Malvan at 11:55 AM and 4:00 PM, depending on which service you board.

(Timings are as per the MSRTC board at Malvan bus stand and are subject to change. It's always a good idea to confirm the exact time with the MSRTC counter or the official MSRTC website before you travel.)

Malvan to Belgaum Distance

The road distance between Malvan and Belgaum is approximately 115–125 km, depending on the exact route taken (via Pendur or via Kasal). The journey by bus typically takes around 4 to 5 hours, factoring in stops along the way.

Malvan to Belgaum Bus Ticket Price

MSRTC ticket prices on this route generally fall in the range of ₹200 to ₹250, though this can vary slightly based on the bus type (ordinary vs semi-luxury) and any fare revisions by MSRTC. For the most accurate, up-to-date fare, it's best to check directly at the Malvan MSRTC counter or the official MSRTC booking portal, since fares are periodically revised.

Is There a KSRTC Bus from Malvan to Belgaum?

This is a common search, but it's worth clarifying: the direct Malvan–Belgaum service is operated by MSRTC (Maharashtra's state transport corporation), not KSRTC (Karnataka's state transport corporation). Since Belgaum falls just across the border in Karnataka, many travellers assume KSRTC handles this route, but the daily direct service from Malvan bus stand is an MSRTC bus. If you're looking specifically for a KSRTC connection, you may need to check for KSRTC services starting from Belgaum itself, or from a nearby Karnataka town.

Tips for Travellers

• Since there are only two buses a day on this route, it's a good idea to reach the Malvan bus stand at least 15-20 minutes early, especially for the 4:50 AM departure.
• If you miss the direct MSRTC bus, an alternative is to take a bus to Kolhapur or Kudal first and then connect onward toward Belgaum, though this will take longer than the direct service.
• Carry small change for your ticket, as MSRTC conductors on regional routes may not always have change for large notes.

Whether you're heading to Belgaum for work, a family visit, or just passing through Karnataka, this direct MSRTC service from Malvan makes for a convenient, budget-friendly option.
