Family pickup
Because the van comes to the door, grandparents and children board without dragging bags to a corner. Suitcases are stacked in the rear before anyone sits. Maravanthe is a 365 km day, so we leave at 6 am. Families who like sandalwood oil or incense can visit the Government Sandalwood Oil Factory in Ashokapuram on the day they get back. The van heads out on the Hunsur road towards Coorg and the coast beyond.

Breakfast break
Hunsur comes about an hour after leaving home, 45 km out, and the hotels here have idli, dosa and coffee ready early. Twenty minutes is enough for the family. Hunsur is tobacco country, and the ICAR tobacco research station is in the town. At about 800 m the air is still fresh. If the children want to stretch, the river weir is a short walk from the road. Madikeri is 75 km on.

Tea in Coorg
In the centre of Madikeri, the old fort rebuilt in stone under Tipu Sultan has a pair of stone elephants guarding its gate, and children love spotting them from the van. A quarter hour is set aside for tea and toilets while the tank is filled. At around 1,170 m the town is cool at this hour. Right after Madikeri the Sampaje ghat drops towards the coast, so give anyone who dislikes bends a window seat.

Snack in Tulu country
Puttur, 200 km into the trip, is the first plains town after the long descent, and the snacks of the Tulu coast begin here. Ask for kotte kadubu, idli batter steamed in jackfruit leaf cups, with your tea. Fifteen minutes is enough for the family to stretch and use the restroom. The town lives on arecanut trade, and the Mahalingeshwara temple sits in its centre. Lunch is planned in Mangalore, about an hour further.

Family lunch
Mangalore takes its name from the Mangaladevi temple at Bolar, on the south side of the city. For lunch, families can choose between fish curry with rice, neer dosa, and plain vegetarian meals; goli baje, the Mangalore bajji, is good for the van. Thirty five minutes lets everyone eat calmly. The driver keeps to the highway and away from the slow city centre. After lunch it is NH66 north, with Udupi 60 km away.

Darshan stop
Udupi's best known sight is the Kanakana kindi, the small window through which devotees see Krishna at the Matha. Twenty five minutes is enough for the family to queue and come back, or to have coffee if the queue is long. Udupi is also where Udupi cuisine began, in the Matha kitchens. Maravanthe is 50 km on, by Kundapura, so we leave in time to reach the beach before the light fades.

Beach drop
The van stops on the wide shoulder of NH66 at Maravanthe, where the road runs on a narrow strip between the sea and the river. Hold children's hands near the water and on the road, which carries fast traffic. The stalls serve spicy seafood; vegetarians do better in Kundapura. For the night, Kundapura is 17 to 18 km back and Udupi further, with family hotels in both. Trasi beach joins Maravanthe on the same stretch if the children want more sand.

By road Maravanthe lies about 365 km from Mysore, so a return journey is roughly 730 km. Our van climbs to Madikeri through Hunsur, drops down to Puttur, joins the coast at Mangalore and follows NH66 past Udupi and Kundapura. A family with regular halts needs about 7.5 hours.

No. Toll and parking receipts are added at actual, and GST goes on the final bill.

Yes, quoted when you ask. Share the date and group size and you get it in writing.
The 16 seater. Everyone gets a window or aisle seat. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
It stays open, though slower. Landslides hit the ghat below Madikeri badly in August 2018, and June to September is the wettest part of the year on this coast. Our van leaves early so the descent happens in daylight, and we look at the road news the evening before. Families who can choose usually travel between October and May.
Yes, with halts. The van breaks the day at Hunsur, Madikeri, Puttur, Mangalore and Udupi, so no stretch runs much past two hours. Keep biscuits, fruit and spare shirts within reach rather than in the rear. A light breakfast helps children who feel the ghat bends, and a window seat helps more.
