Sri Kateel Durgaparameshwari Temple
The heart of the trip. The kateel durgaparameshwari temple stands on a rock islet in the Nandini river, and the name Kateel is often explained as the land in the middle of the river. Local tradition says the goddess took the form of a swarm of bees to defeat the demon Arunasura, and that the Nandini itself was sent down to end a long drought. Annadana is served to devotees every day. Plan your visit around the puja schedule and check kateel temple timings before you travel, since hours change on festival days.

Annadana is served to devotees every day. Plan your visit around the puja schedule and check kateel temple timings before you travel, since hours change on festival days.
Kateel Yakshagana Mela
Kateel is one of the great centres of Yakshagana, the night-long dance drama of coastal Karnataka. The temple sponsors several touring troupes that perform as a devotional offering through the season, which generally runs from late autumn to early summer. Families often book a performance as a vow. Watching kateel yakshagana under the open sky, with the drums and the painted costumes, is the part of the trip most visitors remember. Ask your driver to plan the return for the next morning if you stay for a show.
Polali Sri Rajarajeshwari Temple
About 15 kilometres away near Kaikamba, this ancient temple is known for its very large clay idol of the goddess, one of the biggest of its kind in the country. The temple is also famous for Polali Chendu, a traditional ball game played during the annual festival. It is quiet, spacious and easy to combine with Kateel on the same morning.
Saavira Kambada Basadi, Moodbidri
Moodbidri, a short drive from Kateel, is called the Jain Kashi of the South for its cluster of historic basadis. The finest is the Saavira Kambada Basadi, the thousand-pillared temple built in the 15th century, where it is said no two pillars are carved alike. The stonework and the quiet town around it make this a strong half-day stop for anyone interested in architecture.
Sasihithlu Beach
Around 20 kilometres from Kateel, Sasihithlu is where the Nandini and Shambhavi rivers run into the Arabian Sea. The long, clean beach has hosted surfing events and still feels far less crowded than the city beaches. It is a good place to end a temple day, and the river mouth at low tide is worth the walk.
Pilikula Nisargadhama
At Vamanjoor, on the way between Kateel and Mangaluru, Pilikula is a large nature and culture park with a biological park, boating lake, science centre, planetarium and a heritage village showing a traditional Tulu Nadu Guthu house. It works well for families with children who need a break from temple visits.
Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara Temple
In Mangaluru city, this temple was consecrated in 1912 with the blessings of Sree Narayana Guru and is known for its gold-toned gopuram and bright interiors. It is the centre of the Mangaluru Dasara celebrations, when the whole city lights up for the procession. Evening visits are the most atmospheric.
Kadri Manjunatha Temple
One of the oldest temples in Mangaluru, set at the foot of Kadri hills. Its bronze Lokeshwara idol is counted among the finest early bronzes in South India, and the temple has a series of natural water tanks fed by springs, along with small caves above. It is a calm, shaded stop.
Panambur Beach
Next to New Mangalore Port, Panambur is the city beach best suited to groups, with lifeguards, water sports in season and food stalls. The sunset here is easy to catch before heading back to your hotel in Mangaluru or Kateel.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Where the Mangaluru Highway Begins
The first leg crosses Yeshwanthpur and the Tumkur Road flyover, and leaving before 6:00 AM saves a lot of time here. At Nelamangala the NH75 branches west towards Hassan and the coast, while the Tumkur road continues north. Shivagange, the conical hill known as Dakshina Kashi, rises about 20 kilometres to the north and is visible on a clear morning. Most drivers take a quick tea stop just after the toll plaza. Elapsed time: about 45 minutes.
Adichunchanagiri — Temple Hill and Peacock Sanctuary
Bellur Cross is the turn for Adichunchanagiri, the hill monastery of the Sri Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana Math, with its Kalabhairaveshwara temple and a protected peacock sanctuary where birds are easy to spot in the early hours. The detour is short and many pilgrim families add it on the return leg. Several clean highway restaurants around Bellur Cross serve a good South Indian breakfast. Elapsed time: about 2 hours.
Gateway to Hoysala Heritage
The district capital takes its name from the goddess Hasanamba, whose temple opens to devotees only for a short period each year around Deepavali. Hassan is also the base for Belur and Halebidu, the finest Hoysala temples in Karnataka, both within about 40 kilometres. On a direct run, drivers use the Hassan bypass and keep moving. Elapsed time: about 3 hours 15 minutes.
Coffee and Cardamom Hills
The land rises and turns green as you enter the Malnad region. Coffee estates, pepper vines and misty slopes line the road. Just outside Sakleshpur stands Manjarabad Fort, a star-shaped fort built in the Tipu Sultan era, which gives wide views of the Western Ghats from its walls. This is the last good halt for a proper meal before the ghat. Elapsed time: about 4 hours.
Temple on a River Island
From B.C. Road, drivers usually skip the Mangaluru city centre and take the inner roads through Vamanjoor, Gurupura and Kaikamba, passing close to Mangaluru International Airport at Bajpe. The last few kilometres run through paddy fields and coconut groves until the temple appears beside the Nandini. Your driver will drop you close to the temple entrance or at your lodge. Elapsed time: about 7 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours.

The bangalore to kateel distance is about 360 to 370 kilometres via Hassan, Sakleshpur and the Shiradi ghat. The drive takes 8 to 9 hours depending on ghat traffic. Kateel is about 27 kilometres from Mangalore city and close to the airport.
Urbania hire starts from Rs 40 per km, and the final urbania rent per km bangalore rate depends on the seating variant and number of days. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, billed garage to garage.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and holds the Urbania for your dates.
The temple is generally open from early morning to around midday and again from the afternoon to late evening, with the annadana served at lunch. The kateel temple timings change on festival days, so check with the temple before you travel.
Shiradi ghat is sometimes restricted for repairs or heavy rain. In that case the driver takes the Charmadi ghat via Chikmagalur and Ujire, or another open route, which may add distance. The change is explained before departure and billed on actual kilometres.
Yes, usually. Temple-sponsored Yakshagana troupes perform through the season, roughly November to May, often as all-night shows. Devotees can also sponsor a performance as a seva by booking with the temple in advance.
Yes. These form the classic coastal temple circuit and fit well into three to four days. Share your plan and we quote the whole trip, including driver night halts, in one written number.
No. The entire route, including the Mangalore and Udupi temples, is within Karnataka.
Our Force Urbania fleet covers 13 to 17 seater configurations, with cars, tempo travellers, mini buses and 27 to 50 seater buses for other group sizes. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance, so passengers are advised to arrange their own. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773.
