Early pickup
Malpe is the longest of the Kodagu road trips from Mysore, and the Urbania calls at about 5 at a house in Siddhartha Layout, a palace side hotel, Mysore Junction or the suburban stand. Eight to sixteen people fit with luggage. The first stretch out of town is the four lane NH275, which runs west as far as Bilikere. Six and a half hours with halts gets the group to the beach by late afternoon, with the Sampaje ghat crossed in daylight.

Tea halt
Hunsur, 45 km out, gives the Urbania fifteen minutes for tea and restrooms at dawn. The roadside hotels are cheap and unfussy. The town lies along the Lakshmana Tirtha near 800 m, and Rabgayling, a Tibetan colony founded in 1971, sits at Gurupura about 12 km off our road. Since breakfast is planned at Kushalnagar, tea and a biscuit are enough here. Elders can stay seated while the rest stretch.

Breakfast
Breakfast for the Urbania group happens at Kushalnagar, about 90 km from Mysore. Vegetarian plates come first; Kerala style curries fill the noon menus. If the group fancies the Golden Temple, Bylakuppe sits just 6 km back, better kept for the drive home. Local shops stock spices, coffee and Ayurvedic oils. While NH275 is being widened, the van waits on a side lane, with the bags locked inside and the driver beside them.

Tea and fuel
Madikeri, about 120 km out, is the Urbania's last stop in the hills, close to 1,170 m. Kodagu has been run from this town since 1834. Kodava jewellers here sell the kokkethathi pendant, and the bee keepers' cooperative near the post office sells honey. Because Kodagu's speed humps often lack paint, the driver takes the Sampaje ghat below at an easy, even pace, with a pause if anyone feels unwell.

Lunch
Lunch for the Urbania is at Sullia, about 170 km from Mysore. Some 85 km south east of Mangalore, the taluk town is ringed by arecanut and rubber. A coastal rice meal is the lunch, and in summer tender coconut sells along the road. The old Mallikarjuna temple at Thodikana, in this taluk, has a tank where visitors feed rice to the fish, a calm detour for a slower trip. Puttur is about 35 km on.

Tea halt
At Puttur, about 205 km out and just 87 m above the sea, the Urbania stops a quarter hour for tea. The Shree Mahalingeshwara temple, built in the 12th century, stands in the centre, and an old story about pearls in its tank is said to give the town its name. ICAR runs its main cashew research campus here. From Puttur, Mangalore is about 50 km away along a busier road.

Short halt
Mangalore, about 255 km from Mysore, is a short halt for the Urbania after the long run down from the hills. It sits between the Netravati and Gurupura rivers, and its drinking water comes from the Thumbe dam, about 14 km away on the Netravati. NH66 runs north from here up the coast to Udupi, about 58 km. Udupi style vegetarian hotels in the city serve idli, vada and kashi halwa for a quick snack. Malpe is about an hour ahead.

Beach drop
The Urbania reaches Malpe about six and a half hours after Mysore and drops at your stay. Malpe beach lies at the mouth of the Udyavara river, about 6 km from Udupi. Karnataka's first sea walk, about 450 to 500 m long, runs along the harbour, a pleasant evening stroll for elders. The floating bridge is used with a life jacket, about 15 minutes per ticket. Coastal fish dishes such as bangude pulimunchi are the local dinner.
Want a Mysore to Malpe Beach Force Urbania for an office outing, a quieter van for 8 to 16 people? Small office teams and families with elders usually choose it. See Force Urbania on rent in Mysore for the sizes, all at one rate. We pick up anywhere in Mysuru: a palace-side hotel, the railway station, the bus stand or Mandakalli airport.

Roughly 315 km lie between Mysore and Malpe by the Madikeri road, about 630 km both ways. Allow six and a half hours in the Urbania with halts. After Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri, it descends through Sampaje to Sullia, continues by Puttur and Mangalore, and follows NH66 north.
Not included. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
On the Malpe trip, driving past 10 pm adds the driver's night bata; your quote lists it.
The 12 seater, so all sit and the bags fit. See every size on Force Urbania on rent in Mysore.
Yes. It is about 5 km beyond Malpe Beach on this route. Keep 2 to 3 hours. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate.
Yes, that works. A written one way quote follows once you send the date.
March to May is warm on the Udupi coast, up to about 38 C. Plan the beach for early morning and late afternoon, and keep the middle of the day for the hotel. The Kodagu part of the drive stays cooler, and the Urbania's AC keeps the long ride comfortable. November to February is the gentlest season.
It is a long day, about six and a half hours, so we break it often: Hunsur, Kushalnagar, Madikeri, Sullia, Puttur and Mangalore. Seat elders at the front for the ghat. At Malpe, the sea walk along the harbour is flat and easy, and elders can enjoy the beach without much walking.
