Pickup at your door
Anegudde means a long day of about 345 km, so your cab is at the gate by 6 am, whether you are at home, in a palace area hotel or at the station. Rather than crawl through the old city, the driver loops round on the outer ring road, which circles Mysore for roughly 41.5 km, and peels off at Hinkal onto the Hunsur road. That puts the coast within reach by early afternoon. Pack light cottons; Kumbashi is humid after the cool Coorg hills.

Quick breakfast
After 45 km you reach Hunsur, a river town on the Lakshmana Tirtha, and a family of four can finish idli and coffee in a quarter hour. Look out of the window and you will see teak depots and tobacco fields; the leaf is auctioned at a tobacco board yard at Kattemalalavadi, about 5 km away, which is a detour only for a lazy return. Eat properly, since lunch is far off on the coast. Madikeri is another 75 km uphill.

Coffee and fuel
Madikeri, perched at about 1,170 m, is where the car refuels before dropping off the plateau. Ten minutes covers a coffee and a restroom. Shoppers can grab Coorg Arabica, which earned its GI tag in 2019, or a jar from the bee keepers' cooperative store beside the post office; both sit happily in the boot for days. The Sampaje ghat begins as soon as you leave town, so passengers who dislike bends should move to the front seat.

Temple town halt
Puttur comes about 80 km after Madikeri, once the ghat is behind you, and it is a busy arecanut trading town. The Mahalingeshwara temple stands in the centre, and a car can pull up near the gate for a short darshan if the family wishes. Otherwise it is a restroom and tender water halt of ten minutes. The heat rises here, so switch to light clothes. Mangalore is 55 km on, and that is where we suggest lunch.

Lunch on the coast
Mangalore begins at the Netravati bridge, and the car stays on the highway rather than going into the old city. For lunch, the coastal hotels serve chicken ghee roast and bangude pulimunchi, and vegetarians get neer dosa and plain meals. Half an hour is fine for four people. Cashew is the thing to buy here if you want a snack for the road. After lunch the car turns north on NH66, and Anegudde is about 90 km away.

Udupi darshan
Udupi is 60 km up the coast from Mangalore. If you have twenty minutes, the Krishna Matha is worth a stop; devotees see the deity through the small window called the Kanakana kindi. The Matha serves free meals to every visitor, though a late lunch here only suits a family that skipped Mangalore. Udupi hotels claim the masala dosa, so a plate with coffee makes a good snack. Anegudde is only 30 km further on, so the car reaches the hill well before evening.

Temple drop
Anegudde is the hill temple at Kumbashi, right beside NH66, and the car parks at the foot of the hill. The climb is a short flight of steps, so leave footwear in the car. For the night, most families go back 30 km to Udupi, which has plenty of rooms, or stay in Kundapura a few km north. The car waits while you visit, and our driver keeps it on the highway side so you can leave without turning in the narrow lane.

Count on roughly 345 km each way to the Kumbashi hill temple, or near 690 km there and back. A car crosses Coorg by Hunsur and Madikeri, drops through the Sampaje ghat to Puttur, meets the coast at Mangalore and heads up NH66 past Udupi. Driving time by cab is about 7 to 7.5 hours, short halts included.
Yes. It is around 40 km inland. Add the km and a night if you stay.
Night allowance on the Anegudde run applies after 10 pm: ₹400 a night.
Tolls on the 345 km Anegudde road, parking, permits and GST come extra, at cost.
One way to Anegudde, 345 km, is quoted on request at ₹2 a km over the return rate.
The Innova Crysta. Every size is listed on cab rental in Mysore.
Mostly yes, but it is the stretch to watch. The ghat below Madikeri was cut by landslides in August 2018, and Madikeri gets most of its 3,200 mm of yearly rain in June, July and August. We check road news the evening before and start early, so the car crosses the ghat in daylight. On the coast, heavy rain slows NH66 rather than closing it.
We advise against a night run on this road. Kodagu roads have unmarked speed breakers, loaded lorries and animals crossing at night, and the ghat is slower in the dark. A family usually leaves Anegudde after an early lunch, or stays the night in Udupi and drives back in daylight the next morning, with tea at Madikeri on the way.
