Family pickup
Malpe, the harbour beach beside Udupi, is about 410 km and eight hours from Bangalore, and the tempo traveller is at your gate at 6 am. Roughly 2.55 m high, the van cannot go under basement beams, so the family brings bags up to the road. Three days is the usual stay for a family of 12 to 16. Keep a beach bag with towels and slippers, and a snack bag for the children, near the front.
Family breakfast
At Kunigal the family sits down to breakfast at a highway hotel with parking at the gate. Masala dosa and idli suit most children, while some hotels also do a combo plate with upma and bisibele bath for the adults. Allow 25 minutes and a restroom round. Not far away, Huliyurdurga, a dome shaped rock hill with an old fort, rises about 38 km to the south, a trek for another season.
Coconut farms
Past Channarayapatna the van does not stop; the fields here are full of coconut palms and sugarcane, the two main crops of the taluk. Shravanabelagola is only 12 km to the side, a barefoot climb to save for the drive home if the children are keen. When someone needs a restroom, the driver stops at a fuel station for a few minutes. Hassan lies about 40 km on, and after it the hills begin.
Tea break
At Hassan the family takes a 15 minute tea break while the children stretch their legs in the hotel compound. Holenarasipura, another town of this district, is known for terracotta pots and handloom weaving, a place to remember for gifts on the way home. Before leaving, buy sunscreen or anything forgotten, because the shops in the hill towns are small. The beach is still about five hours away from here.
Misty hills
Coffee, pepper and cardamom estates cover the slopes around Sakleshpur, and on many mornings mist hangs over them. A 15 minute halt gives the family photos and a restroom before the descent. Children who get carsick should move up front now, since the Shiradi ghat ahead is long and full of bends. Keep a plastic bag and a bottle of water close, and open a window a little on the curves.
Coastal lunch
After the ghat the family has lunch at Uppinangady, where the Kumaradhara meets the Netravati. This is where coastal cooking starts, and children usually love the soft, slightly sweet Mangalore buns, eaten with neer dosa or a rice meal. Allow 40 minutes so everyone eats calmly. In the monsoon both rivers rise quickly and run wide under the bridge. Malpe is still about 120 km away, through Mangaluru and Udupi.
Coast highway
At about 350 km the van crosses the Netravati bridge into Mangaluru and turns north on NH66 along the coast. The airport at Bajpe is only 13 to 15 km from the centre, useful if a relative flies in to join the beach days. Traffic thickens near the city in the late afternoon. Udupi is about 55 km north, and Malpe 5 km beyond it, around an hour and a quarter.
Last town
The van passes through Udupi at about 405 km. This is the home of Udupi cooking, which grew out of the Krishna Matha kitchens, and the family can come back for a vegetarian dinner one evening. Udupi's railway station on the Konkan line is at Indrali, about 4 km from the bus stand, useful for anyone returning by train. Malpe beach is just 5 km on, so the family is minutes from the sea.
Beach drop
The tempo traveller reaches Malpe in about eight hours and drops the family at the hotel. Malpe is one of the big fishing harbours of this coast, and the boats heading out in the morning are fun for children to watch. The floating bridge on the beach, opened in 2022, lets visitors walk over the waves in life jackets. The van parks at the hotel and is ready for day trips.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Malpe is about 410 km from Bangalore by Kunigal, Channarayapatna, Hassan, Sakleshpur, Uppinangady, Mangaluru and Udupi, so about 820 km there and back. The van follows NH75 down the Shiradi ghat to Mangaluru and then NH66 north. A tempo traveller takes about 8 hours each way with breakfast, tea and lunch.
Three days, 900 km at ₹24/km is ₹21,600. Add ₹1,500 allowance, tolls and GST.
Paddle near the shore with an adult. The sea is rough in the monsoon.
The 17 seater. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
It has many bends. Keep a light breakfast and a window open.
Yes, both are north of Udupi. Extra km at the same rate.
December to February, when the coast is dry, days are warm and evenings are breezy. March to May grows hot and humid, and from June to September the monsoon brings very heavy rain, rough seas and no boats to the islands. October and November are green, with occasional showers.
One suitcase per couple, plus a beach bag with towels, slippers, sunscreen and a change of clothes for each child. Wet clothes should go into a plastic bag so the van seats stay dry. Caps and water bottles are a must, because the coast is humid even in winter.
