Group pickup
The mini bus plans Karwar over two days with a night in Mangalore, so twenty people can meet at 7 am at two pickup points at most. If anyone wants Mysore pak, the gram flour and ghee sweet, for the hosts in Karwar, buy it the evening before; shops close before 10 pm. Pack one medium bag each for the rear and a small overnight bag. The bus leaves on the Hunsur road.
Tea and a head count
Hunsur is an hour out. Just before it, near Bilikere, the road passes the turn for Gommatagiri, the Jain hill with a Bahubali statue, a short visit for a group on the way back. In Hunsur the group stops twenty minutes for tea, coffee and restrooms, since breakfast was in Mysore. The group leader takes the first head count of the trip here. Hunsur sits on the Lakshmana Tirtha river at about 800 m, a cool place to stretch before the long climb.
Coorg tea halt
Madikeri is the hill town, about 1,170 m up. Some hotels serve bembale, a bamboo shoot curry of Kodava cooking, in season, for anyone who likes to try a local dish. Twenty minutes covers tea and restrooms while the driver fills diesel. Speed breakers on Kodagu roads are often unmarked, so seated passengers should hold on. The Sampaje ghat follows. Kodava pandi curry with kadambuttu is the dish to try if the group stops here for dinner on the way back.
Ghat stretch
Sampaje is on the ghat about 30 km below Madikeri, and the mini bus keeps going without a stop. Forest closes in on both sides and a few tea stalls stand by the road. In heavy rain alerts the Kodagu administration has stopped heavy vehicles on ghat roads, and this stretch slipped badly in August 2018, so monsoon trips are checked the day before. Puttur is 50 km further on, and the bends ease well before that, so the group can relax after the first half hour.
Lunch in Puttur
Our mini bus group eats its first day lunch in Puttur, the market town where the descent from Coorg finally levels out. A plain thali with a sour coastal gravy, rice and a glass of buttermilk is served fast for twenty, and forty minutes leaves room for the restroom queue. The town lives on arecanut, and the Mahalingeshwara temple stands in its centre. Mangalore and the hotel are 55 km on, so the group arrives by mid afternoon. Arecanut traders keep the bazaar busy, and the Mahalingeshwara temple in the middle of town takes ten minutes for anyone who wants it.
Night in Mangalore
Mangalore is the halfway night. With the afternoon free, the group can see one of the beaches, Panambur, Tannirbhavi or Someshwara, or the Kudroli Gokarnatheshwara temple, the centre of Mangaluru Dasara. Dinner can be Mangalorean, with kori rotti and fish, or Udupi style vegetarian meals. The mini bus stays at the hotel. Day two leaves early, because Karwar is still 265 km away. Mangalore buns and goli baje make an easy evening snack from any bakery near the hotel.
Breakfast on day two
Udupi is the breakfast halt on day two, 60 km from Mangalore. The Krishna Matha serves free meals to everyone, but at this hour the group usually eats neer dosa, goli baje or a masala dosa at a hotel. Thirty minutes for twenty. Udupi station is at Indrali, about 4 km from the bus stand. Karwar is about 205 km north on NH66. Malpe harbour is only 5 km west of Udupi if anyone wants a quick look at the boats.
Beach and statue
Murudeshwar is 2 km off NH66. The mini bus parks near the beach, and the group gets forty minutes for the Shiva statue, the gopura and the sand below the temple, where boats and jet skis run. Temple entry has a dress code. Kollur Mookambika is about 50 km inland from here, an add on for groups with an extra day. Karwar is about 125 km on. Keep the temple clothes in hand bags so nobody digs in the rear.
Group drop
Twenty bags come off at the hotel gate in Karwar, the river mouth town where the Kali reaches the Arabian Sea. Local kitchens cook fish in coconut and cashew gravy, though vegetarian thalis are never hard to find. For twenty people, book rooms early in December, when Navy Week opens INS Kadamba to visitors. Karwar station is on the Konkan Railway. Fix the next morning's time before everyone goes to their rooms. Gokarna is 59 km south if the group plans a day trip.
Taking 20 friends on a Mysore to Karwar mini bus for a beach holiday? It is quick on the coast road and fits into Gokarna and the beach lanes where a big bus cannot. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

Karwar is about 520 km from Mysore one way, roughly 1,040 km in all. The mini bus drives by Hunsur, Madikeri and the Sampaje ghat to Puttur, stops the night in Mangalore, then runs up NH66 by Udupi and Murudeshwar. Driving time is about 11.5 hours, split over two days.
The 25 seater, so bags and the tour leader fit. The full size list is on mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Late night driving adds a night allowance for the driver. The quote lists it. The night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
It goes up to the parking above the beach. The last part is a walk down.
No, they are separate. You pay tolls, parking, permits and GST at actual, with receipts.
Yes, that works. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
It is rare, but in heavy monsoon the Kodagu administration has closed ghat roads to heavy vehicles for set periods. If that happens, we tell you the evening before and either shift the start by a day or take another ghat down to the coast, which adds distance. From October to May this is not a concern.
Big bags stay locked in the mini bus at the hotel, and each person takes only the small overnight bag to the room. The driver parks in the hotel compound. This saves twenty people unloading and loading everything twice. Valuables, medicines and phones should always go with you to the room.
