Family pickup
At 6 am the tempo traveller comes to your home, or to two homes if cousins are joining, and suitcases go into the back before anyone sits. Planning a zoo outing after the beach? Mysore zoo and Karanji lake both shut on Tuesdays, so do not arrive home on a Monday night expecting them the next day. Kaup is roughly 300 km off, and leaving at six puts the family on the sand by early afternoon. The van exits on the Hunsur road.

Breakfast in a timber town
Hunsur is a timber town, famous for teak, and the fields around grow tobacco for the auctions held nearby. For the family it is simply the breakfast stop, 45 km from home. Idli, dosa and coffee come quickly, and twenty minutes covers the restroom too. Children can look at the river weir near the road while the adults finish their coffee. The van then climbs gently towards Coorg, with Madikeri 75 km ahead.

Tea before the descent
Madikeri is the last hill stop of the day. If the family returns this way with time, Abbey Falls lies about 8 to 10 km off inside a coffee plantation, with a hanging bridge; swimming is forbidden there and there are no toilets, so plan accordingly. Today it is a quarter hour for tea and restrooms while the tank is filled. The Sampaje descent starts after town, so give queasy children a window seat now.

Lunch after the ghat
Puttur is where the van reaches the plains, 200 km from Mysore, and the children get a proper break. The hotels serve rice meals, coastal curries and buttermilk, and thirty minutes is enough for a family lunch. The Mahalingeshwara temple is in the town centre for anyone who wants darshan. This is arecanut country, with traders busy along the main road. Mangalore is about an hour away, so nobody needs to hurry the meal.

Buns and juice
Mangalore lies between the Netravati and Gurupura rivers, and the van crosses into the city on the Netravati bridge. Fifteen minutes is enough for Mangalore buns, goli baje and a cool drink, which children usually love after the long morning in the van. The driver stays on the highway, away from the busy centre. From here NH66 runs north along the coast, and Kaup is 45 km away, less than an hour.

Beach town drop
Kaup is a small coastal town on NH66, and the van drops the family at the hotel or near the beach road. Neer dosa, goli baje and fish curry with rice are the local meals; vegetarian Udupi hotels are easy to find too. Rooms in Kaup are limited, so many families stay in Udupi, 13 km north. In the monsoon months, June to September, keep children away from the water. Udupi station, on the Konkan line, helps anyone leaving by train.
Family of 12 booking a Mysore to Kaup tempo traveller for a beach and temple trip? The van goes through Coorg and down to the coast, and stops whenever the children need it. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Mysore through Tejas Tours & Travels.

Kaup lies about 300 km from Mysore, so the return journey is about 600 km. Our tempo traveller takes the Hunsur road into Coorg, descends from Madikeri to Puttur, passes Mangalore and goes north on NH66. A family trip with halts needs about 6 hours.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. The quote lists it. Expect ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
The 12 seater, one seat spare for bags. The full size list is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Yes, that works. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
Yes, at the open hours, with an adult. The steps are narrow at the top.
The drive is possible, but it is not a beach trip. From June to September the coast gets very heavy rain and the sea is rough, and the Sampaje ghat below Madikeri can be slow after slips. If you go in those months, start early and plan temples and indoor stops. October to March gives dry roads and calm evenings on the beach.
We prefer daylight. After dark the Coorg road has lorries, unmarked speed breakers and animals crossing, and children sleep badly on the ghat bends. Leave Kaup after breakfast and you reach Mysore by evening, with lunch at Puttur or Madikeri. If you must leave late, stay the night in Madikeri and finish the drive next morning.
