Early pickup
A beach group of nine to twenty sets off for Malpe at about 5, gathered at one or two places such as a home in Hebbal and the suburban bus stand. Suitcases go at the back, swimwear and towels in a cabin bag. The tempo traveller loops round the ring road to the Hunsur road. With halts, the coast is about six and a half hours away, so the early hour keeps the ghat after Madikeri in daylight.

Tea halt
Grey light is just showing when the van halts at Hunsur, 45 km into the trip, and fifteen minutes is enough for tea and a restroom. Its hotels are humble and cheap. Fields of tobacco surround the town, and ICAR keeps a research unit for the crop in Hunsur. The highway SH 86 branches south from here towards HD Kote, but the beach group sticks to NH275 westward. Breakfast is about an hour away in Kushalnagar.

Breakfast
A beach bound van eats breakfast at Kushalnagar, roughly 90 km from Mysore; idli and dosa for a dozen take about 25 minutes, and Kerala style curries come later in the day. Lacking a railway, the town relies on buses, and its stand sends them on to Mangalore and Kerala, so the road ahead carries plenty of them. Harangi's reservoir at Hudgur is fullest after the rains, should anyone ask about the signboards. The climb to Madikeri is about 30 km.

Tea and fuel
At Madikeri, 120 km out, the van fuels and the group sips tea for a quarter hour. Mudduraja founded this hill town in 1681, and it still sits near 1,170 m, cool even in April. Pepper and cardamom from Kodagu make good gifts to carry to friends on the coast. When heavy rain alerts are out, the district has kept heavy vehicles off its ghat roads, so during July and August we read the notice before the van tips over into the Sampaje ghat.

Lunch
Sullia, about 170 km into the trip, is lunch for the beach group. The town has two bus stands, government and private, standing next to each other, and the van waits near them. Coastal rice meals are quick, and patrode or kadubu make a good side dish. There is no railway here; Subrahmanya Road station is about 48 km away. After lunch, Puttur is roughly 35 km ahead, and the road starts to flatten out towards the sea.

Tea halt
Puttur, some 205 km from Mysore, is a busy taluk town and a hub for buses, and the van gives the group fifteen minutes for tea. The 12th century Mahalingeshwara temple stands in the centre. Most families here speak Tulu at home. About 15 km away lies Bendru Theertha, a lukewarm spring where pilgrims bathe on Teertha Amavasya in early September. Mangalore is about 50 km further on, and the humid coast air starts here.

Short halt
Mangalore, about 255 km from Mysore, gives the van a short halt after the Netravati bridge, which marks the southern edge of the city. The city is warm, sitting at about 22 m. NH66 runs north from here to Udupi, about 58 km, and Malpe is just past it. Mangalore buns and kashi halwa are easy snacks if anyone is hungry. Keep the stop to fifteen minutes; evening traffic builds on the coast road.

Beach drop
Six and a half hours after Mysore, the tempo traveller unloads at your stay in Malpe or at the beach itself. Malpe is one of the coast's large fishing harbours, with boats setting out at dawn and returning in the evening, a sight worth catching. The floating bridge, opened in 2022, stretches about 100 m and is walked with a life jacket; its hours run roughly 8 am to 6 pm, so check on the day. Dinner is coastal fish curry with rice.

For a tempo traveller, Mysore to Malpe means about six and a half hours over roughly 315 km, or near 630 km if you return the same way. The van takes the Kodagu road by Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, the ghat to Sullia, then Puttur, Mangalore and NH66 north to Udupi and Malpe.
A late return after 10 pm adds a night allowance for our driver. Malpe: we put the amount in the written quote. Rate card figure: ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
The 16 seater, with bag space. Each size and rate is on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Sure. Malpe one way: ask for a quote with your date.
Yes, the main beach is wide and flat. Stay in the flagged area and keep out of the water in the monsoon.
No. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
November to February is the most comfortable. Udupi's winter days are about 32 C, nights about 20 C, and the Sampaje ghat is dry. March to May is hotter, up to about 38 C. June to September brings over 4,000 mm of rain to Udupi, so beach time is short and the drive slower.
One bag per person at the back, and a cabin bag per family with towels, a change of clothes and sunscreen. Wet clothes after the beach should go in a plastic bag, not on the seats. Keep water and snacks in the cabin for the ghat below Madikeri, where the van does not stop.
