Places to Visit in Udupi
Sri Krishna Temple, Udupi
The Udupi Sri Krishna Temple is the defining landmark of the town and one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in South India, drawing hundreds of thousands of devotees annually for the darshan of Lord Krishna through the distinctive nine-holed silver window known as the Kanakana Kindi. The temple was founded in the thirteenth century by the philosopher-saint Sri Madhvacharya, who is believed to have received the idol of Lord Krishna from inside a ball of clay within a ship's ballast, and it has been in continuous worship ever since under the management of the eight Vaishnava maths that rotate custody of the temple on a two-year cycle, a practice known as Paryaya. The elaborate daily worship schedule begins at four in the morning and continues with fourteen worship sessions through the day, and the feeding of devotees at the temple's community kitchen is on a scale that few temples in India match. The temple's architecture, with its gopuram, decorated chariot and the sacred tank of Madhva Sarovara, occupies the centre of the town and the surrounding Car Street is lined with the eight maths and their distinctive carved facades. Every traveller on a Bangalore to Udupi taxi booking plans their arrival time around the preferred worship session.

Every traveller on a Bangalore to Udupi taxi booking plans their arrival time around the preferred worship session.
Malpe Beach
Malpe Beach is the most popular beach in the Udupi district, a wide sweep of golden sand at a natural harbour on the Arabian Sea coast approximately four kilometres west of the town centre. The beach is the departure point for the boat service to St. Mary's Island and the primary venue for water sports in the area, including jet skiing, parasailing, speed boat rides and the Sea Walk, a 450-metre elevated walkway over the water that provides views of both the open sea and the river backwaters simultaneously. Malpe is also an important commercial fishing harbour, and the fishing boats pulled up along the northern section of the beach and the early-morning fish auction are a distinctly local dimension of the coastal atmosphere. Families, honeymooners and groups on a one way cab Bangalore to Udupi trip almost always include an evening or morning at Malpe Beach, and the beach's free public Wi-Fi, installed by the local administration, has become one of its small distinguishing features. The combination of the ferry to St. Mary's Island and the harbour atmosphere makes Malpe a more interesting beach stop than a purely sand-and-sea visit.
St. Mary's Island
St. Mary's Island, a cluster of four small islands accessible by a 15-minute boat ride from Malpe harbour, is one of the most geologically unusual sites on India's western coast. The islands are carpeted with closely packed hexagonal basalt columns formed by volcanic activity around 88 million years ago, creating a landscape of natural prisms that is visually striking and scientifically significant. The island also carries considerable historical weight: it is documented as the landing point of Vasco da Gama in 1498 before he reached Calicut, and a cross believed to mark the landing site is one of the island's historical landmarks. The boat crossing from Malpe takes approximately 15 minutes each way, with ferry services regulated by the Karnataka coastal authority, and the island itself has clean beaches, clear water and the extraordinary basalt formations that photographers find irresistible. Travellers on a Bangalore to Udupi car rental trip who are spending two or more nights in the area consistently rate St. Mary's Island as one of the most memorable stops of their visit.
Kapu Beach and Lighthouse
Kapu Beach, also spelled Kaup, is a quieter and less commercially developed alternative to Malpe Beach, located approximately 12 kilometres south of Udupi town on the coastal highway between Mangalore and Udupi. The beach is defined by its historic lighthouse built in 1901, which stands on a rocky promontory at the northern end of the shore and is open to visitors for a brief window at sunrise, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Sea from its top. The beach itself is a long stretch of clean sand backed by coconut palms, with the waves rougher than at Malpe but the setting more naturally scenic and considerably less crowded. The Kapu Lighthouse has appeared in several Kannada films and is one of the most photographed structures on the Karnataka coast, particularly at sunset when the golden light on the stone tower and the sea behind it creates an unusually photogenic scene. Families looking for a quieter half-day at the beach during a Udupi tour package from Bangalore typically choose Kapu over Malpe when they want to spend time by the water without the commercial activity of the harbour setting.
Karkala and Gomateshwara Statue
Karkala, located approximately 40 kilometres from Udupi in the foothills of the Western Ghats, is a significant Jain heritage town and one of the most rewarding excursions from the coast. The principal landmark is the Gomateshwara statue, a 41.5-foot monolithic granite figure of Lord Bahubali erected in 1432 CE by the Bhairarasa Vodeya dynasty, which stands on a rocky hillock and is considered one of the most important Jain pilgrimage sites in Karnataka. Every twelve years the Mahamastakabhisheka ceremony is performed, during which the statue is anointed with milk, saffron, sandalwood and flowers in a ceremony that draws tens of thousands of Jain devotees. The town is also home to the Chaturmukha Basadi, a four-faced Jain temple built in the sixteenth century with a perfectly symmetrical design that is a good example of Jain temple architecture in the coastal Karnataka style. Travellers arriving by a Bangalore to Udupi cab who want to explore the district beyond the coast frequently include Karkala as a day-trip destination, combining it with the drive back toward Mangalore or onward to Dharmasthala.
Anantheshwara and Chandramouleshwara Temples
The Anantheshwara Temple and the adjacent Chandramouleshwara Temple are two of the oldest temples in Udupi, both dedicated to Lord Shiva and both predating the establishment of the Sri Krishna Matha by several centuries. The Anantheshwara Temple, with a history tracing back over a thousand years, is where the saint Madhvacharya is believed to have received his early spiritual education, and it therefore carries a significance in the Dvaita Vedanta tradition that goes beyond its antiquity. The Chandramouleshwara Temple, situated directly opposite, is linked by a shared sacred geography with the Anantheshwara complex and the Sri Krishna Temple that together form the religious heart of Udupi town. Both temples are considerably less crowded than the Sri Krishna Temple and offer a more contemplative visit for those interested in the older religious and architectural traditions of the region. Pilgrims travelling on a Bangalore to Udupi taxi for darshan at the Krishna Temple almost always include these two temples in the same circuit, as they are within easy walking distance of the main matha complex.
Maravanthe Beach
Maravanthe Beach is not the most easily accessible stop on a Udupi itinerary, but it is one of the most visually distinctive beaches on the entire Indian coast. The National Highway 66 runs along a narrow strip of land between the Arabian Sea on one side and the calm Souparnika River on the other for a stretch of around five kilometres, so the driver of any vehicle passing through sees the sea on the left and the river on the right simultaneously, with the narrow land and road suspended between them. This double waterfront view is unusual enough that the stretch has become a well-known scenic drive and a stopping point for most travellers passing through the coast between Mangalore and Goa. The beach at Maravanthe is a long, clean, unspoiled arc of sand that is considerably quieter than Malpe and does not have the commercial infrastructure of Kapu. Travellers on a multi-day Udupi tour package from Bangalore who are combining the coast with a drive toward Murudeshwar or Gokarna pass through Maravanthe and typically stop for at least twenty minutes to walk the shoreline.
Kudlu Theertha Falls
Kudlu Theertha Falls, also known as Sita Falls, is a picturesque 150-foot waterfall in the forested foothills of the Western Ghats near the town of Hebri, approximately 40 kilometres from Udupi. The waterfall is formed by the Seetha River dropping through a gorge of dense evergreen forest before collecting in a natural pool below, and the trek of around 30 to 40 minutes through the forest to reach the falls is part of the experience, passing through a tree cover that is home to birds, butterflies and the occasional troop of macaques. The falls are at their most impressive during and immediately after the monsoon season when the volume of water is highest, though the surrounding forest is beautiful throughout the year. Trekkers and nature enthusiasts visiting Udupi with extra time typically include Kudlu Theertha as a morning activity on their second or third day, particularly those who want a contrast with the beach and temple circuit that defines most itineraries. The site is accessible with a private vehicle, which is another reason why a Bangalore to Udupi cab booking rather than public transport is the practical choice for this kind of flexible exploration.

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.
Nelamangala
Western city exit
The opening stage of the Bangalore to Udupi cab journey covers around 30 kilometres from the city to Nelamangala, the main junction town on Bangalore's western edge where the NH 75 toward Hassan, Mangalore and the coast separates from the NH 48 northward. This stretch passes through Yeshwantpur and the western suburbs and the road conditions and traffic levels depend significantly on departure time. Weekday mornings before six-thirty and weekend mornings before five are the cleanest windows for clearing this section before the commuter and outbound leisure traffic peaks. Nelamangala is a practical first stop for fuel, as this is typically the last fully stocked fuel point before the roads narrow into smaller towns toward Hassan. The town also has a cluster of well-known highway restaurants that open early and serve a good South Indian breakfast, making it a natural 20-minute pause before the longer run ahead. From Nelamangala the route continues southwest on NH 75 toward Kunigal and Hassan. The short highlight for this stage: Nelamangala - western city exit; NH 75 junction for Hassan and the coast.
Hassan
Hoysala heritage gateway
From Nelamangala, NH 75 runs southwest for approximately 155 kilometres to Hassan, passing through Kunigal and Channarayapatna on a road that is well-maintained and relatively straightforward for most of its length. The countryside through this section transitions from the dry plateau around Kunigal to the more irrigated and greener agricultural land of the Hassan district, and the drive is pleasant and unhurried once the city traffic is behind. Hassan is the gateway to the UNESCO-listed Hoysala temple circuit, with the famous Chennakeshava Temple at Belur 35 kilometres away and the Hoysaleswara Temple at Halebidu 32 kilometres away. Travellers who have scheduled more than one day for their Bangalore to Udupi trip often plan a detour to Belur or Halebidu on this leg, adding a heritage component to what would otherwise be a purely transit stretch. A lunch break in Hassan is practical, as the town has a good selection of restaurants and is roughly the halfway point of the total journey. The short highlight: Hassan - Hoysala heritage gateway; Belur and Halebidu temples detour; comfortable NH 75 highway stretch.
Sakleshpur
Coffee and cardamom estates
From Hassan, the route continues on NH 75 southwest toward Sakleshpur, covering around 55 kilometres as the road begins to climb into the Western Ghats and the landscape transitions from Hassan's open agricultural plateau to the dense, mist-covered coffee and cardamom estates of the Malnad region. Sakleshpur is a small hill town at around 900 metres altitude, well-known as a trekking base for the popular Sakleshpur to Kukke Subramanya Green Route trail and surrounded by coffee, pepper and areca nut plantations that are beautiful in any season. The drive from Hassan to Sakleshpur is one of the most scenic sections of the entire NH 75 route, and a tea or coffee break here at one of the roadside estate kiosks is genuinely worth the ten minutes it takes. Beyond Sakleshpur, the route enters the Bisle reserve forest and the descent through the Western Ghats begins. The short highlight: Sakleshpur - coffee and cardamom estates; entry to the Western Ghats; famous Green Route trekking base.
Dharmasthala
Major Shiva pilgrimage centre
The descent from Sakleshpur through the Charmadi Ghat to Dharmasthala and then toward the coast is the most dramatic and demanding section of the entire Bangalore to Udupi road journey, and it is the part most experienced drivers approach with greatest care. The Charmadi Ghat road drops sharply through the Western Ghats rainforest, with tight bends, limited overtaking room and, during the monsoon, the possibility of fallen debris and very limited visibility through rain and cloud. The views from certain points along the ghat are genuinely extraordinary, with the 180-degree panorama of forested ridges and valleys described by many travellers as the visual highlight of the entire drive. At the foot of the ghat, Dharmasthala is one of Karnataka's most important pilgrimage centres, a place where a Shaiva temple administration also supports Jain worship within the same complex, reflecting the unique pluralism of the coastal Karnataka coastal faith traditions. Stopping for darshan at Dharmasthala adds approximately 45 minutes to an hour to the journey but is recommended for pilgrims specifically travelling on a religious itinerary. The short highlight: Charmadi Ghat - dramatic 180-degree Western Ghats descent; Dharmasthala - major Shiva pilgrimage centre.
Udupi
Final coastal approach through areca nut and coconut plantations
The final stage from Dharmasthala to Udupi covers approximately 73 kilometres and passes through the distinctive landscape of coastal Karnataka, where the Western Ghats foothills flatten into areca nut and coconut plantations, red-laterite soil roads and the occasional glimpse of the Arabian Sea horizon. Karkala, approximately 40 kilometres from Udupi, is a rewarding stop on this stretch for its Gomateshwara Jain statue and the Chaturmukha Basadi, and many Bangalore to Udupi taxi travellers include a 30-minute visit here on the approach to the coast. Beyond Karkala the road descends to the coastal plain and the characteristic coastal Karnataka landscape of tiled-roof villages, fishing communities and roadside banana and coconut stalls signals the imminent arrival at Udupi. Most travellers departing Bangalore between four and five in the morning reach Udupi by noon to one in the afternoon, giving a full first afternoon for the Sri Krishna Temple darshan and Malpe Beach before the second day's deeper exploration. The short highlight: Karkala - Jain Gomateshwara statue; final coastal approach through areca nut and coconut plantations.

Urbania Packages for the Bangalore to Udupi Route
Four package structures cover almost every group on this route, all including the vehicle, fuel and a trained chauffeur, quoted garage to garage in writing.
Manipal Family Package
Built for the traffic that defines this corridor: semester move-in and move-out with full luggage capacity, admission and counselling visits where the vehicle stays with the family across several days, convocation weekends, and travel to Kasturba Hospital. For hospital bookings the chauffeur holds flexible timings. Tell us at enquiry which applies and we will shape the itinerary around it.
Pilgrimage Package
For groups travelling to the Sri Krishna Matha, often combined with Kollur Mookambika, Anegudde and Murudeshwar on a two or three night circuit. We plan around darshan timings rather than driving times and allow properly for queues, which run long during Paryaya. The vehicle stays with the group throughout.
Family and Coastal Package
For families and multi-household groups of eight to sixteen taking Udupi, Malpe and St Mary's Island at a relaxed pace. Standing headroom and full recliners suit elderly travellers across an eight-hour day. We plan the island crossing for the morning and around the season, since boats do not run in monsoon or rough seas.
Luxury and Corporate Package
For milestone celebrations, coastal weddings and visiting guests, and for the steady business traffic Manipal and the Udupi industrial belt generate. Ambient LED lighting, HD LCD entertainment and a chauffeur in formal attire, plus GST invoicing, a proforma invoice for purchase-order approval and thirty-day credit terms for registered accounts — see our corporate travels bangalore service.

● Share your travel dates, pickup location, group size and variant: 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 or 16 seater.
● Tell us if you are going to Manipal rather than Udupi town, and whether it is a semester move, an admission visit, a convocation or a hospital appointment.

Step 2: Receive Your Written Quote

Step 3: Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance
● Review the written quote and confirm by WhatsApp or phone.

● During the trip he handles routing, tolls, halt planning and the ghat descent pacing.
● At trip end the balance is settled after the advance; extra kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Udupi Urbania
Approximately 400 km via Hassan and Sakleshpur, down the Shiradi Ghat to Mangalore and then north on the coastal NH66. Expect 7.5 to 8.5 hours including halts, longer in monsoon or if the ghat is disrupted. Manipal is a further five kilometres inland. The whole route is within Karnataka, so no permit or entry tax applies.
Yes, and a large share of our bookings on this corridor go to Manipal rather than Udupi. The two are five kilometres apart, so a single booking covers both. Tell us at enquiry whether it is a semester move, an admission visit, a convocation or a hospital appointment, because each shapes the schedule differently.
That is the main reason families choose this vehicle. The Urbania takes a group and a term's worth of belongings together, where a car forces you into two vehicles or a cramped eight hours. Give us a rough idea of the load at enquiry and we will recommend a variant with the capacity rather than one that fills up.
Garage to garage with fuel included: Rs 50 per km for the 8-seater, Rs 55 for 9 to 13 seaters and Rs 60 for 15 and 16 seaters. Driver allowance is Rs 600 per day, tolls at actuals, and no permit or entry tax applies. Because the fare is on actual kilometres run, a ghat diversion changes the distance and we flag the likely difference before departure.
Shiradi Ghat and the coastal NH66 by default, at about 400 km with the best surface. The Agumbe route via Shivamogga is around 380 km and spectacular in clear weather, but slower and unsuitable in heavy rain since Agumbe receives some of the heaviest rainfall in India. Shiradi has a history of monsoon closures, so we check its status before every departure and reroute if needed.
Yes, by boat from Malpe, about six kilometres from Udupi town. Services are suspended during monsoon and in rough seas, so it is a fair-weather plan rather than a guarantee. The columnar basalt formations are a national geological monument and worth the crossing. There is no shade on the island, so go in the morning and budget half a day.
Two reasons it usually is. Luggage capacity, which is often the whole reason the booking exists on a Manipal run, and eight hours of travel including a ghat descent, where the monocoque body and sound insulation make a real difference. For families making this trip repeatedly across a student's course, the comfort compounds.
October to March. The coast takes very heavy rain between June and September, which is also when the ghat sections are least reliable and the St Mary's Island boats do not run. If your dates are fixed by an academic or hospital calendar rather than by choice, tell us and we will plan buffer and route alternatives around them.
For Kasturba Hospital bookings we accommodate date changes at any notice without penalty, subject to vehicle availability. Appointments move and we do not think a family should be charged for that. For other bookings, changes with more than 24 hours notice are accommodated at no penalty subject to availability.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passengers insurance by the company. Our vehicles carry the statutory commercial vehicle insurance required under Indian motor law, chauffeurs are police verified and PSV licensed, and the fleet is serviced at authorised Force Motors centres. Groups wanting personal accident cover should arrange it separately.
