Pickup at your door
The cab collects you from home or your hotel in Mysuru at 5:30 am, early because Kundapura is a full day's drive of about 345 km. If anyone wants a proper Mysore masala dosa, with the red chutney spread inside, the early hotels near the station serve it, or we eat on the way at Madikeri. The car takes the ring road to the Hunsur road and heads for Coorg. The coast is reached by the Sampaje ghat, so the long ride is broken into easy legs.
Drive through
Hunsur passes after about 45 km. The cab usually keeps going, as Madikeri is the better breakfast town, but a tea stop is easy if needed. Before Hunsur, near Bilikere, a small road leads to Gommatagiri, a Jain hill with a Bahubali statue, a detour for another day. Hunsur sits at about 800 m and lives on teak and tobacco. Periyapatna is about 30 km beyond and Kushalnagar about 40 km, both on the way to Madikeri.
Breakfast in Coorg
Madikeri, the old Mercara, is about 120 km from Mysore at roughly 1,170 m, and the cab stops thirty minutes for breakfast. Pandi curry with kadambuttu is the Kodava speciality if anyone wants an early lunch packed. Coorg Arabica coffee, honey from the bee keepers' cooperative near the post office, pepper and cardamom are the buys. Raja's Seat viewpoint opens at about 5:30 am if you arrive early. From here the road falls through the Sampaje ghat to the coast.
Ghat foot halt
Sullia, about 170 km from Mysore, sits at the foot of the Sampaje ghat in Dakshina Kannada, and a fifteen minute halt for tea or tender coconut suits the cab. Goli baje, the fried dough snack of this coast, is sold in the small tea shops. Jalsoor, about 9 km on, is where the road for Kasaragod in Kerala branches off. Kukke Subrahmanya, the Kukke Subramanya temple, is about 38 to 40 km away by the state highway, a separate trip. Puttur is about 30 km ahead.
Temple town
Puttur, about 200 km out, is a taluk town at only about 87 m, so the air warms up quickly here. The Shree Mahalingeshwara temple, a 12th century Shiva shrine, is in the town if you want a short darshan. CAMPCO set up its chocolate factory here in 1986, and arecanut is the local crop. Coastal breakfasts start in this town: neer dosa, goli baje and Mangalore buns. BC Road, where this route joins NH75, is about 30 km on.
Lunch in Mangalore
Mangalore comes at about 255 km, and lunch is here, forty five minutes. The city lies between the Netravati and Gurupura rivers, and the Netravati bridge marks its southern edge on this highway. For lunch, Mangalore ghee roast, kori rotti, neer dosa or bangude pulimunchi, a spicy mackerel dish, are the local choices. The car joins NH66 here and turns north for Udupi, about 58 km. Kateel temple is about 20 km away if anyone wants a detour.
Short halt
Udupi, about 310 km from Mysore, is a short fifteen minute halt for the cab, or longer if you want darshan at the Krishna Matha, where Krishna is seen through the small window called Kanakana kindi. The Matha serves free meals to visitors. Udupi hotels are said to have given the world the masala dosa, and kashi halwa is the local sweet. Udupi handloom cotton sarees are a good buy. Kundapura is about 37 km ahead on NH66.
Hotel drop
The cab reaches Kundapura about 8 to 8.5 hours after Mysore, roughly 345 km, and drops you at your hotel. This coast is known for fresh seafood, and the hotels serve Udupi style breakfasts too. NH66 runs on north to Bhatkal, Murudeshwar and Karwar if your plan continues. Gangolli, near Byndoor, is a fishing town to the north. From June to September Udupi district gets more than 4,000 mm of rain, so in those months keep the evenings indoors.
Heading for the Kundapura coast, Kollur or Kodi beach? A Mysore to Kundapura cab goes through Coorg and down the Sampaje ghat to Mangalore and Udupi, about 345 km. Book with cab rental in Mysore from Tejas Tours & Travels.

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.

Kundapura is about 345 km from Mysore one way, about 690 km for the round trip, by Hunsur, Madikeri, the Sampaje ghat, Sullia, Puttur, Mangalore and Udupi. A cab takes about 8 to 8.5 hours with breakfast at Madikeri and lunch at Mangalore. The last stretch on NH66 along the coast is busy, so allow some extra time.
Billed at 900 km for 3 days: Dzire ₹12,000 Etios ₹13,800 Innova ₹17,400 Innova Crysta ₹19,200. Driver allowance ₹400 per day; tolls and GST at actual.
Sure. For a single journey we charge ₹2 a km over the round trip rate and put the total in writing before you pay.
The Innova Crysta seats six with bags. Compare every car on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Kollur is about 40 km inland from Kundapura; the extra km are added to the bill.
Yes. A night at Madikeri adds a day to the plan, billed at 300 km with the driver allowance.
Usually, but it is the first road to watch in heavy rain. It was cut by landslides in 2018, and after a slide in July 2024 night traffic was stopped for a time and sent via the Charmadi ghat. We check the road the evening before and pick the safer route.
It is about 690 km, so it is not a day trip. Most families stay at least one night, and many add Kollur or Murudeshwar. If you must return quickly, plan two days and leave Kundapura early on the second day, so the ghat is climbed in daylight.
