One boarding point
For a mini bus group of 20 to 25, fix one boarding point, two at most, and ask everyone to come 15 minutes early. A roomy spot outside the centre works best; around Majestic a private bus gets only a minute or two to pick up. Leave at 5 am. Tumkur Road has the Peenya elevated flyover, which has been shut to buses at times, so the driver checks the notice the night before. Bags go in the rear boot. Breakfast is at Kunigal, about 70 km out.
Breakfast
Kunigal is the breakfast stop for the mini bus, about 70 km out. The highway hotels here are used to groups and serve bisibele bath, idli and vada fast. Keep 25 minutes, as 20 people take time at the counter and the restroom. Amruthur, about 11 km away, has a 16th century Chennakeshava temple, too far for a coast day. Silk cocoon rearing is a local trade around the town. The Bangalore to Hassan railway runs alongside, and the highway carries on west across open country.
Restroom halt
Channarayapatna is a quick restroom halt at 145 km. The Bagur Navile tunnel in this taluk is described as the longest water tunnel in India, though nothing of it is seen from the road. Shravanabelagola is 12 km off the highway, and its hill is climbed barefoot and closes around midday, so a mini bus group keeps it for the drive back. Trains also stop here on the Bangalore to Hassan line. Keep ten minutes and count heads. Hassan is about 38 km on.
Tea and fuel
Hassan is about 185 km out, and the mini bus stops for tea and fuel. Malnad filter coffee is the drink to try, with akki rotti if anyone wants a bite. The Shettihalli Rosary Church, built in the 1860s, stands in the Gorur backwaters about 22 km away, half under water from July to October; it suits a separate trip. Hassan Junction railway station is on the Mangalore line if anyone joins late. Sakleshpur and the ghat are about 40 km ahead, so restrooms here are a good idea.
Last halt pre ghat
Sakleshpur is the last halt before the Shiradi ghat. Mookanamane falls is about 20 km off, and Jenukal Gudda, the highest peak of Hassan district, about 40 km, both for a hill holiday rather than a coast run. Tea, a quick snack and a restroom break take 15 minutes for a group. The ghat below takes the mini bus down to Gundya, about 38 km. In one past order only buses, cars and jeeps used the Donigal stretch at night, so a mini bus has not been barred, but we still drive it by day.
Lunch
Uppinangady is the lunch stop at about 290 km, after the ghat. The group gets its first coastal meal: neer dosa, goli baje and Mangalore buns, or rice meals for the cautious. Uppinangady sits where the Kumaradhara joins the Netravati, and the riverside temple is a short walk. Lunch for 22 people with a restroom break needs about 45 minutes. In June to September the rivers rise quickly, so keep everyone back from the bank. BC Road is about 25 km on, and Mangalore about 50 km.
Highway north
Mangalore is crossed at about 350 km. The mini bus takes the Netravati bridge and the NH66 bypass north, not the city roads. The city gets almost all its rain from May to September, and December to March is very dry, so the coast feels very different by season. If a long halt is needed, a fuel pump on the highway is better than a city stop for a 25 seater. From here NH66 runs north to Udupi and Karwar. Udupi is about 58 km ahead.
Tea halt
Udupi, about 400 km out, gives the group a tea halt and a last restroom break. Udupi cuisine grew out of the Krishna Matha kitchens, and the town hotels serve good coffee and snacks quickly. The road junction here is busy, because NH169A leaves for Hebri and Agumbe. Monsoon rain here is over 4,000 mm a year, so expect wet roads from June to September. Udupi is about 405 km from Bangalore by this road. Kundapura is about 37 km north, under an hour.
Group drop
Kundapura is about 435 km from Bangalore, around ten hours by mini bus with the halts. The bus drops the group at the hotel, function hall or home, and the driver parks off the main road. For a group of 20 or more, book rooms in one place near NH66, where a mini bus can park overnight. Coastal seafood and simple vegetarian meals are both easy to find. The rainy months from June to September are very wet here. Agree the next morning's reporting time before everyone goes to their rooms.
Is a group of 14 to 25 going home to Kundapura for a festival, or to Kollur and the beaches? On a Bangalore to Kundapura mini bus everyone sits together for the 435 km and the luggage comes too. We have run mini bus on rent in Bangalore since 2009.

About 435 km one way, by Kunigal, Hassan, Sakleshpur, the Shiradi ghat, Mangalore and Udupi, so about 870 km for the round trip. A mini bus takes about 10 hours with breakfast, lunch and tea halts. The Shiradi ghat and the stretch through Mangalore are the slowest parts, so the driver plans to cross the ghat by daylight.
The 20 seater mini bus: 900 km over 3 days at ₹34/km, so ₹30,600. ₹2,100 allowance extra; GST, permits and tolls at actual.
Yes, on request. One way is ₹2 a km above the round trip rate; the run back is counted in the written quote.
The 20 or 21 seater. Compare them on mini bus on rent in Bangalore.
Usually, yes. In some monsoons the Hassan district has closed it after landslips, and then we take another road. We check the current order before your date.
Sakleshpur, or the ghat foot after Shiradi, depending on the start time. With twenty people the driver calls ahead.
Usually yes, but the Hassan district has closed the Shiradi ghat after landslips in past monsoons and limited heavy vehicles at night. In those weeks we check the order the evening before and, if needed, take the detour by Belur and the Charmadi ghat or by Kushalnagar and Sampaje. That adds a few hours, so a monsoon trip needs a flexible plan.
A mini bus has a rear boot and racks over the seats. Big suitcases go in the boot at the start, and only small bags stay with people. For a group of 20 or more, ask each person to bring one suitcase and one hand bag, and label them. That keeps loading quick at the hotel and keeps the aisle clear on the ghat bends.
