Pickup at your door
The Urbania comes to your gate in Mysuru at 5:30 am, so elders can board without hurrying. Kundapura is about 345 km away, a long day, so we plan four or five halts. If you want flowers for an offering at Kollur or Udupi, the Devaraja market near the station sells them, but buy the day before as the market opens later. The Urbania joins the Hunsur road at the Hinkal flyover. Water, medicines and a shawl travel at the seats.

Restroom halt
Hunsur, about 45 km out, is a short ten minute restroom halt for elders. The town is quiet, with plain hotels on the main road. Teak is its old trade, and an ICAR tobacco research station is here. The road ahead stays fairly level to Kushalnagar, about 40 km on, then climbs to Madikeri. Elders who slept little can rest now, as the next proper stop is breakfast in Coorg.

Breakfast in Madikeri
Madikeri, about 120 km from Mysore, is the family's breakfast stop; forty minutes lets elders eat slowly. The Omkareshwara temple, with a pond in the middle of town, is a short and easy visit. Kodagu roads have unmarked speed breakers, so the driver goes gently. Bamboo shoot curry is a Kodava vegetarian dish in season. From here the Sampaje ghat descends for about 30 km, and the Urbania takes it slowly so nobody feels unwell.

Tea and tender coconut
Sullia, about 170 km out, is a gentle fifteen minute halt after the ghat. Tender coconut is sold here in summer, and tea shops are everywhere. The Sri Chennakeshava temple is in the town for elders who wish to pray. Farms around grow arecanut, rubber, coconut and pepper. Jalsoor, about 9 km on, is the junction for Kasaragod and Kerala, but we keep to the Mangalore road. Puttur is about 30 km ahead, through green hills.

Temple halt
Puttur, about 200 km from Mysore, has the Mahalingeshwara temple, one of the main temples of Dakshina Kannada, and elders can visit in twenty minutes. The town has decent hotels if the family wants to break the journey for a night. Kabaka Puttur railway station is on the Mangalore line. Dakshina Kannada roads are narrow with blind curves, so the driver keeps a moderate speed. Mangalore is about 50 km on.

Lunch
Mangalore, about 255 km out, is the lunch stop for the family, forty five minutes. Neer dosa, pundi and patrode are lighter local dishes that suit elders, and Udupi style hotels serve plain vegetarian meals. The city is warm and humid, but it has never touched 40 C. Kateel's Durgaparameshwari temple is about 20 km away for families who want to add it. The Urbania then takes NH66 north towards Udupi, about 58 km.

Udupi darshan
Udupi, about 310 km from Mysore, is where many families stop for darshan at the Krishna Matha. Elders can sit and eat the free meal served there. Plan forty five minutes, or more on festival days such as Krishna Janmashtami, when crowds are large. Kaup lighthouse, built in 1901, is 13 km south, and Malpe beach about 5 km west. Kundapura is about 37 km north, so the last leg is short.

Arrival
After about seven and a half hours and roughly 345 km, the Urbania stops at your hotel in Kundapura so elders step straight in. Hotels here serve both seafood and vegetarian Udupi style meals. Summer days in this district can reach about 38 C, while winter nights fall to about 20 C, so plan outdoor visits for mornings and evenings. NH66 goes north to Bhatkal and Murudeshwar if you continue. The driver parks close by and is on call.

About 345 km one way and roughly 690 km both ways, via Madikeri, Sullia, Puttur, Mangalore and Udupi. The Force Urbania takes about seven and a half hours with gentle halts for elders, including the slow descent of the Sampaje ghat.
Kundapura is billed as 3 days, 900 km: any Urbania size ₹38,100 (₹40/km). Add the driver allowance of ₹700 a day, tolls and GST.
The 16 seater gives room for bags. The full list is on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
A partner owner supplies the van and a driver who knows it; you deal only with Tejas Tours & Travels for the rate and any help.
Yes. Udupi is on the way, about 37 km before Kundapura.
It is. We add ₹2 a km to the return rate for a one way booking and send you the full amount in writing.
It is a long day of about seven and a half hours, but we split it into halts at Hunsur, Madikeri, Sullia, Mangalore and Udupi. The Urbania's ride is steady on the Sampaje ghat. If elders prefer, we can stop overnight at Madikeri or Mangalore and finish the trip the next morning.
We avoid night travel on the Sampaje ghat and Kodagu roads, where lorries and animals make driving slow after dark. Leave Kundapura early in the morning and the Urbania reaches Mysore by evening. If the family wants a later start, a night halt at Madikeri works well.
