Coach pickup
A full coach for a temple or college group meets at one big spot in Mysore at 5 am, as the coast is about 345 km away. Luggage goes in the hold. The coach uses the ring road and the Hunsur road; west of Mysore, NH275 is four lane up to Bilikere, so the first hour is easy. Water and one small bag stay at each seat; the hold is unlocked again only at the hotel.
Tea and head count
Hunsur, about 45 km from Mysore, gives the bus a quarter hour for tea while the leader counts heads. The town's simple hotels can serve tea quickly to a large group. The Anechowkur side of Nagarhole is reached from here by SH 90, but the coach stays on NH275 towards Periyapatna. Teak and tobacco are the local trades, and the town sits at about 800 m. The next stop is Madikeri, about 75 km on, so everyone should use the restroom here.
Breakfast for the coach
Madikeri, about 120 km out, is where the coach stops for breakfast, a good forty five minutes. A big bus parks on the edge of town, as the centre is crowded. When red alerts are issued, Kodagu has shut its ghat roads to heavy vehicles for fixed spells, though buses have been exempted before; we confirm the order before July and August trips. Abbey Falls is about 8 to 10 km away, too narrow a road for a coach.
Tea after the ghat
Sullia, about 170 km from Mysore, is the coach's tea stop after the Sampaje ghat. Fifteen minutes is enough. Rubber, arecanut, coconut and pepper farms line the road. The town is on NH275, about 85 km south east of Mangalore, and its bus stands are close together in the centre, so the coach parks on the main road. Jalsoor, the turn for Kasaragod, is about 9 km on. Puttur follows about 30 km later.
Short halt
Puttur, about 200 km out, is a short ten minute halt for the coach. The town is a city and taluk in Dakshina Kannada, and Malayalam, Kannada and Beary are spoken alongside Tulu. The Mahalingeshwara temple is one of the main temples of the district, listed with Dharmasthala and Kateel. Buses for Mangalore leave every few minutes, which shows how busy the town is. Mangalore is about 50 km ahead through narrow roads with curves.
Lunch for the coach
Mangalore, about 255 km from Mysore, is the coach group's lunch stop; keep an hour for 40 to 50 people. Large vegetarian hotels serve full meals, and the coast's ghee roast and fish dishes are there for those who want them. New Mangalore port ships about 75% of India's coffee exports, so port lorries crowd the highway. The bus joins NH66 here for Udupi, about 58 km north. The highway is busy with lorries from the port.
Darshan or tea
Udupi, about 310 km from Mysore, is where a temple group visits the Krishna Matha; keep an hour, as the free meal and the queue take time. Coaches park in the designated area near the temple, and the group walks in together. On Krishna Janmashtami and Navaratri the town is very crowded. Malpe harbour is about 5 km away. Kundapura is about 37 km north, so this is the last long halt of the day.
Hotel drop
The coach reaches Kundapura about nine hours after Mysore, roughly 345 km with the halts. The group steps off at the hotel door, and the driver takes the coach to whatever parking the hotel or the traffic police point out. Seafood is the town's speciality, and vegetarian hotels serve Udupi style meals for the group. NH66 continues north to Bhatkal and Murudeshwar. Udupi district gets over 4,000 mm of rain from June to September, so plan coach trips for the dry months.
Taking 30 to 50 people to Kundapura for a festival, Kollur darshan or a coast trip? A Mysore to Kundapura bus carries the whole group by Madikeri, Mangalore and Udupi. Hire a bus on rent in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

We had a great experience with this travel agent while arranging a bus for our team outing. The response was quick and professional, and all our requirements were handled smoothly. The bus arrived on time, was neat and clean, and the journey was very comfortable. Special thanks to Mahantesh, who was the coordinator and supported us with all last-minute changes. The overall coordination was excellent, which made our trip hassle-free. Highly recommended for group travel arrangement.

About 345 km from Mysore by Hunsur, Madikeri, Sullia, Puttur, Mangalore and Udupi, about 690 km both ways. A full size bus takes about 9 hours with breakfast, lunch and a darshan halt. Buses use the Sampaje ghat, but we check it in the monsoon.
For 3 days and 900 km: 50 seater ₹51,600 (₹54/km). Driver allowance is ₹1,000 a day. Tolls and GST are extra.
The 45 or 49 seater keeps some seats for bags. Every size is on bus on rent in Mysore.
Yes. State buses use it daily; we check monsoon orders before July and August trips.
Yes. One way is ₹2 a km above the round trip rate, and we confirm the km and the fare in writing before the day.
No. Tolls and parking are paid at actual and GST is added; diesel and the driver are covered by the km rate.
October to February is the best time for a full coach, with dry roads and calm seas. The monsoon brings very heavy rain and possible ghat closures. In summer the coast is hot and humid, so plan temples and beaches in the morning and evening.
We prefer not to. The Sampaje ghat and Kodagu roads are slow and risky at night with lorries and animals, and the driver needs rest after a long day. A night halt at Mangalore or Madikeri on the way back is safer for a big group.
