Assembly point
A coach of 40 or more needs one assembly point with space to park, away from Majestic, where a private bus gets only seconds on busy days. City timings for coaches are checked again before a Maravanthe start. Leave by 5 am. The first toll is the Nelamangala plaza, and NH75 has five plazas up to Sakleshpur. Luggage goes in the hold, and the coordinator keeps the name list for head counts.
Breakfast
Kunigal is the breakfast stop for the bus, about 70 km out. Choose a highway hotel with parking and a large hall, so a full bus is served idli, vada and coffee in one go. Allow 40 minutes with restrooms. The forest around the Bettada Ranganathaswamy hill nearby covers about 1,400 hectares. The railway to Hassan runs beside the road. Channarayapatna is about 75 km on, and the bus does not stop properly again until after the ghat.
Restroom
Channarayapatna, about 145 km out, is a 15 minute restroom stop. Ahead is the Kadabahalli toll plaza on the stretch to Hassan, and our bus pays by FASTag, so no cash queue. Shravanabelagola is 12 km off the highway, but its long barefoot climb does not fit a coach on a beach day. It is the last easy restroom before the hills, so ask everyone to use it, even those who were asleep. Hassan is about 38 km on.
Driver break
Hassan is about 185 km out. The bus stops at a highway pump with room for a coach, and the driver takes tea. Akki rotti and filter coffee are on offer for the group. Holenarasipura in this district is known for terracotta, if anyone collects pottery. October is the wettest month in the city, so a rain jacket helps then. A coach takes the bypass rather than the town roads, which saves time and avoids tight turns. Sakleshpur is about 40 km on.
Before the ghat
Sakleshpur is the last stop before the Shiradi ghat, about 225 km out. Tipu Sultan's Manjarabad fort overlooks the Mangalore road here, but a full bus cannot park near it, so it is a view from the road. In past monsoon orders only buses, cars and jeeps used the Donigal stretch at night, with heavy goods vehicles stopped. If the ghat closes, the detour is via Belur and the Charmadi ghat. Restrooms here, because the ghat has none.
Lunch
Uppinangady, about 290 km out, is the lunch stop. For a full bus we book a hotel with a big dining hall and room to park on the road. Bangude pulimunchi and kori rotti are on the menu, with vegetarian meals for the rest. The Kumaradhara meets the Netravati beside the town. Keep an hour, with a head count before leaving. Gundya is about 40 km behind, and Mangalore about 60 km ahead.
Bypass
Mangalore, about 350 km out, is crossed on the highway. The bus takes NH66 north and avoids the centre, where coach parking is hard. The Bangalore to Mangalore railway via Hassan has run since 2007, and the city also has the airport, so it is the simplest place for anyone to leave or join. The coast is humid most of the year, with very heavy rain in the monsoon. Udupi is about 58 km on.
Short halt
Udupi, about 400 km out, gets a short halt for tea and restrooms at a highway hotel with parking. The Krishna Matha feeds every visitor, but the old town lanes are narrow, so a coach group walks in from the parking. Summer days touch about 38 C, so refill the water cans in the bus here. Masala dosa is credited to the hotels of this town, a good snack if the group is hungry. Kundapura is about 37 km north on NH66, and Maravanthe about 17 km beyond.
Drive through
Kundapura is about 435 km out, and the bus drives through on NH66. Group hotels here are larger than at the beach, so many coach groups stay in Kundapura and drive to Maravanthe for the day. Seafood is the local food, and Udupi style vegetarian hotels serve neer dosa and buns for breakfast. The monsoon is very heavy here from June to September. If the group stays in Kundapura, the bus does the beach run each morning and parks back at the hotel. Maravanthe is about 20 km on.
Coach parking
The bus reaches Maravanthe after about 455 km and close to eleven and a half hours with halts. The highway is narrow here, between the sea and the Souparnika river, so the coach parks only at a wide spot off the road and the group walks to the sand. The beach can be reached from both sides of NH66. Spicy seafood is what the stalls serve. In June to September the sea is rough, so nobody goes in.
Planning a coastal Karnataka trip for 30 to 50 people, with Maravanthe beach, Kollur and Udupi? For a Bangalore to Maravanthe Bus trip, the stops, timings and rates are listed further down. One bus over the Shiradi ghat keeps the whole group on one plan. Book a bus on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

About 455 km one way, by Kunigal, Hassan, the Shiradi ghat, Mangalore, Udupi and Kundapura, so about 910 km for the round trip. A full bus takes close to 11.5 hours with breakfast, lunch and restroom halts. The ghat and the NH66 traffic through Mangalore are the slow parts for a coach.
4 days, 1200 km. A 33 seater at ₹44/km is ₹52,800; a 50 seater at ₹54/km is ₹64,800. Driver allowance, tolls and GST extra.
Yes, buses use it every day. In heavy rain it sometimes closes for repair; then the driver takes another ghat and the km change.
Kundapura and Udupi have hotels that take big groups. Beach stays at Maravanthe are few.
The 40 seater. All bus sizes are on bus on rent in Bangalore.
At ₹60/km, ₹72,000 for 1200 km, with ₹1,000/day a day driver allowance.
October to February. The ghat is dry, the sea is calm and the group can spend time on the sand. March to May is hot on the coast, up to about 38 C, so plan beach time for evenings. June to September has rough seas and very heavy rain, and the Shiradi ghat has had closures, so it is a season for viewing only.
We suggest a 5 am start instead. A night bus crosses the Shiradi ghat in the dark, and students arrive tired after sleeping in their seats. Leaving at dawn, the group has lunch after the ghat and reaches the coast by evening. If the group must travel at night, the driver rests at Hassan and the bus reaches the ghat after sunrise.
