Family pickup
With a planned night in Mangalore, the family's Karwar trip can start at an easy 7 am. Eat at home, or pick up a Mysore masala dosa, the city's version with red chutney spread inside, from a darshini nearby before the van arrives. Suitcases go to the rear first, with a small overnight bag kept on top for the Mangalore hotel. Then the van follows the ring road round the city and takes the Hunsur road west.
Coffee and a stretch
Hunsur comes about an hour after pickup, a small town on the Lakshmana Tirtha river. The ICAR tobacco research station is here, because tobacco grows all over this taluk; children can see the broad leaves drying in season. Fifteen minutes for coffee, juice and the restroom is enough after breakfast. The van then runs on through Periyapatna to Coorg, and Madikeri is 75 km ahead. Hunsur sits at about 800 m, so the air is still cool, and children usually want a hot drink.
Tea and the toy train
Madikeri is the Coorg hill town, and Raja's Seat, the garden viewpoint over the valleys, has a toy train and an evening fountain next to it that children love; it is open from early morning to 8 pm, so keep it for the return if time is short today. Twenty minutes covers tea and restrooms while the driver fills fuel. Seat the children who feel the bends near a window before the ghat.
Down the ghat
Sampaje is the point where the van is well into the ghat below Madikeri, about 30 km down the road. There is no halt here, only forest and a few tea stalls along NH275. This ghat was cut by landslides in August 2018, and in the heaviest monsoon weeks it is the road we check first. The driver keeps a low gear, and anyone who feels unwell should say so early.
Lunch at the foot
Puttur is where the van reaches the plains, and on day one it makes a good lunch stop. Rice meals with coastal curries and buttermilk suit the family, and thirty five minutes is enough. The town trades arecanut, and the Mahalingeshwara temple is in its centre for a short darshan. After lunch Mangalore is only 55 km on, so the family checks in by mid afternoon. Patrode and kotte kadubu, the leaf wrapped Tulu dishes, are worth ordering for the adults.
Night in Mangalore
Day one ends in Mangalore, halfway to Karwar. With the afternoon free, the family can visit one of the city beaches, Panambur or Tannirbhavi, or Pilikula park with its 3D planetarium, about 370 acres in all. Dinner can be neer dosa, kori rotti or chicken ghee roast, with Udupi style vegetarian hotels as well. The van stays at the hotel overnight, and day two starts early for the 265 km to Karwar.
Breakfast on day two
Udupi is 60 km from Mangalore, about an hour, so it makes the breakfast stop on day two. Udupi hotels are credited with the masala dosa, and kotte kadubu and goli baje are on most menus too. Thirty minutes covers breakfast. The Krishna Matha is close if grandparents want a quick darshan through the Kanakana kindi window. From Udupi the van runs north on NH66, with about 205 km to Karwar.
Shiva statue stop
Murudeshwar sits about 2 km off the highway, and the family can see the 123 ft Shiva statue and the 20 storey gopura from the beach below the temple. Forty minutes allows photos and a walk on the sand, with boats and jet skis for older children. A dress code applies for temple entry. Karwar is about 125 km on, past Honnavar, so the van leaves in time to arrive before dark.
Karwar drop
The van drops the family at the hotel in Karwar, the town at the mouth of the Kali river. Seafood is the local food, fish curry with cashew and coconut, and kurle ambat, the crab masala; vegetarian meals are easy to find too. The Sub Regional Science Centre at Kodibag has hands on exhibits that children enjoy on a free afternoon. Karwar station is on the Konkan Railway if anyone travels on to Goa.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas 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. 👍

The Mysore to Karwar road distance is about 520 km, about 1,040 km both ways. Our tempo traveller climbs through Hunsur to Madikeri, takes the Sampaje ghat to Puttur, stops the night in Mangalore and then follows NH66 by Udupi and Murudeshwar. Driving time is about 11 to 11.5 hours over two days.
The 12 seater, one seat spare for bags. Every size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
A late night return adds the driver night allowance. You see it in the quote first. Night bata: ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
No. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
Yes. NH66 is a wide highway with many halts. We split the drive over two days.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
It is the hardest time. Karwar gets about 3,279 mm of rain a year, mostly from June to September, and the coast and the Sampaje ghat are slow in heavy showers. Beaches are rough and boats do not run. The family can still travel, but October to March is far better, with dry roads and calm evenings.
Because 520 km in one day is too long for most children. Breaking the trip at Mangalore keeps each day near 260 km, with time for a beach or Pilikula park on the first afternoon. The children sleep well, and day two starts fresh with breakfast at Udupi and a stop at Murudeshwar before Karwar.
