Pickup at your door
Whether you are staying at home, at a palace side hotel or near the railway station, the cab comes to you at 6:30 am. Friends visiting from the north should be warned that rural Karnataka speaks Kannada, so our driver becomes the family's interpreter at tea stalls and hotels. Kaup is 300 km off, a comfortable day by car, and you should be on the sand by early afternoon. The car leaves the city on the Hunsur road for Coorg.
Breakfast on the way
Hunsur is reached in about an hour. Several roads fan out from this town: the Anechowkur side of Nagarhole, the HD Kote road and the way to Kutta and Virajpet all begin here, so the signboards can confuse first timers. Our route stays on the Kushalnagar road. Fifteen minutes is enough for idli, coffee and the restroom. Madikeri is 75 km on, and the next real break comes there. Hunsur sits at roughly 800 m, so the air is fresh.
Coffee and Coorg food
Coorg's capital, Madikeri, stands roughly 1,170 m up, and the car pauses here for coffee and a fuel top up. If the family wants to eat Kodava food on the way home, ask for pandi curry, pork soured with kachampuli, alongside akki otti, a rice flatbread, or noolputtu, soft rice noodles. Today ten minutes is enough. Afterwards NH275 falls through the Sampaje ghat towards Sullia and Puttur, 80 km of curves, so settle anyone who gets car sick.
Early lunch
Puttur is the first plains town after the descent, and late morning is a good time for an early lunch of rice meals with coastal curries and buttermilk. Twenty five minutes is enough for four. The car can also stop by the Mahalingeshwara temple in the town centre. Puttur lives on arecanut, the tall slim palms you see everywhere now. Skip lunch here if you prefer to eat by the sea; the driver goes by your choice.
Snack in the city
Mangalore is 55 km after Puttur. The car crosses the Netravati bridge, the southern edge of the city, and turns north on NH66. If the family wants a short detour, Adyar falls is about 12 km from the centre, but most people keep moving. Ten minutes for tea and goli baje is enough. Mangalore is known for cashew, a light snack for the beach. Kaup is 45 km up the coast, under an hour.
Drop at your stay
Kaup, also written Kapu, is a small town on NH66, and the driver drops you at your stay or on the beach road, whichever you choose first. For meals, the local hotels serve neer dosa, kori rotti and fish curry with rice. Rooms are fewer than in Udupi, which is 13 km north, so many families sleep there. From June to September the monsoon is heavy, and the sea is not for swimming.
Want a Mysore to Kaup cab for a short beach break? A car does Coorg and the coast in one day, and a Mysore to Kaup taxi can add Udupi and Malpe. Ask for cab rental in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova Crysta for seven.
Route | One way | Kaup and back | Time by cab |
|---|---|---|---|
Mysore to Kaup via Hunsur, Puttur and Mangalore | About 300 km | About 600 km | About 6 to 6.5 hr with stops |
At about 300 km each way, Kaup by car is a 2 day, 600 km round trip. Fuel, driver and AC are in the rate. Driver allowance ₹400 per day, tolls, parking and GST at actuals. A Mysore to Kaup trip with a night there costs the same. A car trip with one night by the sea fits these two days. Our cars all run with AC. A Mysore to Kaup one way taxi is priced on request.

Two to four people: Swift Dzire or Toyota Etios. Five to seven, or four with big bags: Innova or Innova Crysta.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Kaup is about 300 km from Mysore by road, roughly 600 km there and back. The cab heads west through Hunsur to Madikeri, down the Sampaje ghat to Puttur, then to Mangalore and up NH66 to Kaup. With a breakfast stop and short halts the drive takes about 6 to 6.5 hours.
It can be done. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Yes. Tell us the flight time; the airport is about an hour from Kaup.
No. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
An Innova or Innova Crysta. See every size on cab rental in Mysore. A sedan is tight for five.
Only late night driving carries a driver night allowance. The quote lists it. Expect ₹400 a night.
Plan between October and March. Skies are dry, the Sampaje ghat is clear and the beach evenings are cool. The monsoon from June to September dumps heavy rain on the Udupi coast and churns the sea. April and May are hot and muggy, so keep beach walks for the early morning and the hour before sunset.
Yes, if packing is light. A Dzire boot holds two medium suitcases and two small bags. Folding chairs, umbrellas or a cool box need the larger space of an Innova. Put towels and spare clothes in one soft bag on the back seat, so the boot stays shut at every halt between Mysore and the coast.
