Early pickup
Malpe sits on the Udupi coast, a full day's drive from Mysore by the Madikeri road, so the car rolls before dawn. It calls at your home in Gokulam, a guest house by the palace, Mysore Junction or the city bus stand, and heads round the ring road to the Hinkal flyover. Four or five people reach the beach in about five and a half hours with halts. Wear something light and keep a sweater for the cool Kodagu hours; the coast is warm.
Tea halt
At Hunsur, 45 km along, the cab gives the family ten minutes for tea and a restroom. It is a plain market town by the Lakshmana Tirtha, at close to 800 m, and the cheap hotels open early for drivers. Hunsur is also where Nagarhole's forest officer sits, about 47 km from the park, if a jungle trip is on your list for later. Breakfast waits at Kushalnagar, 45 km on. The beach is still about 270 km away.
Breakfast
Kushalnagar, at roughly 90 km, is the breakfast stop, with dosa and idli ready at the vegetarian places by the time the car arrives. The Kaveri bends round three sides of town, and Harangi dam at Hudgur is 6 to 9 km away. Coffee, spices and chocolates made in local homes sell in the shops. Traffic in the centre is slow during the NH275 widening, so the driver uses a side road. Madikeri is about 30 km on.
Tea and fuel
Madikeri, near 1,170 m and 120 km from Mysore, gets a ten minute halt for tea and fuel. If the family likes Kodava food, akki otti, the rice flatbread, is a quick snack. Below the town the road drops through the Sampaje ghat, cut by landslides in August 2018 and closed at night after a slip in July 2024, so we always cross it in daylight. The coast is about 195 km away from here.
Lunch
Sullia, at about 170 km, is lunch at the foot of the ghat. The taluk town is surrounded by arecanut, rubber and pepper farms. A rice meal with coastal curry is quick, and goli baje makes a good snack for the road. The Sri Chennakeshava temple is in the town. From Sullia the cab heads for Puttur, about 35 km on, and the road towards Mangalore grows busier. Keep lunch light; there are still about two and a half hours of road to the beach.
Drive on
Puttur, about 205 km from Mysore, is a busy taluk town only about 87 m above sea level, so the air is now warm and humid. The 12th century Mahalingeshwara temple stands in the centre if someone wants a ten minute darshan. CAMPCO set up its chocolate factory here in 1986, and arecanut is the farm crop. Coastal breakfast items such as neer dosa and Mangalore buns begin here. Mangalore is about 50 km on.
Tea halt
The car crosses the Netravati bridge into Mangalore, about 255 km from Mysore, and pauses for tea. The city lies between the Netravati and Gurupura rivers. From here NH66 runs north along the coast to Udupi, about 58 km, and Malpe is just beyond. If the family wants a quick bite, Mangalore buns and goli baje are sold everywhere. Keep the stop short; the last hour can be slow with coastal traffic.
Beach drop
About 6.5 to 7 hours after Mysore, the cab reaches Malpe, at the mouth of the Udyavara river, about 6 km from Udupi. The driver drops you at your stay or at the beach. A sea walk of about 450 to 500 m runs along the harbour, and the floating bridge, opened in May 2022, is about 100 m long, walked with a life jacket for about 15 minutes per ticket. Fishing boats go out mornings and evenings. Try bangude pulimunchi or fish curry with rice.

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.

Malpe is around 315 km from Mysore by the Madikeri road, which makes about 630 km for a return. The car needs roughly five and a half hours one way with halts, crossing Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, descending to Sullia, then running through Puttur and Mangalore and up the coast past Udupi.
If the Malpe Beach car runs past 10 pm, the night allowance is ₹400 a night.
For Malpe, an Innova or Innova Crysta. Six people and their bags fit. See each car on cab rental in Mysore.
On the 315 km road to Malpe Beach, GST, tolls, parking and permits are added at cost.
Leave by 6:30 am. A car is flexible; leave later if you like. With the halts on this page you reach Malpe Beach in around 6.5 to 7 hours.
Yes. A Mysore to Malpe Beach one way taxi is quoted on request.
It is the wettest time on this coast. Udupi sees more than 4,000 mm of rain a year, mostly between June and September, and the ghat on the way has had slides. In those months the boats to St Mary's stay ashore too. October to March brings dry roads and calm beach days.
We keep the long drive home to daylight. Following a July 2024 slide, the road between Sampaje and Madikeri closed every night from 8 to 6, and Dakshina Kannada has many blind bends. Leave Malpe after an early breakfast and the cab is in Mysore by evening.
