Pickup at your door
Moodabidri is only about 260 km away, so a car can leave at a relaxed 7 am and still arrive by early afternoon. We come to the door, wherever you stay in Mysuru, and drive straight to the Hunsur road. Families who want a temple visit at home on the return day often climb Chamundi Hill, about 13 km from the centre, where more than 1,000 steps lead to the Chamundeshwari temple at around 1,060 m. Today the plan is coffee at Hunsur and a proper Coorg breakfast in Madikeri.
Coffee stop
Hunsur is a quick coffee halt today, because the real breakfast waits in Madikeri. Ten minutes for a filter coffee and the restroom is enough for four. The town is where the forest road to Nagarhole's Veeranahosahalli gate turns off; motorbikes are not allowed on that route, but a car is fine, an idea for some future safari. The highway beyond runs through tobacco and teak country to Periyapatna, and then climbs gently into Kodagu.
Kodava breakfast
Madikeri is the breakfast town on this plan, at about 1,170 m. Ask for akki otti, a thin rice flatbread, or noolputtu, soft rice noodles like string hoppers, with a coconut curry; both are proper Kodava breakfasts and rarely found outside Coorg. Twenty five minutes lets the family eat without hurry. The car is filled before the descent, since the ghat road beyond has only small towns until Sullia, about 50 km down.
Through the estates
Sullia is where the ghat finally ends and the road runs between areca and rubber estates. A car normally drives straight through, though a quick tender coconut is easy to find if anyone wants a pause. The Sampaje stretch you came down is the part to watch in heavy monsoon; landslides cut it in August 2018. From Sullia it is 30 km to Puttur and about 90 km to Moodabidri.
Tea and darshan
Puttur, a busy market for arecanut, is a good place for tea and a stretch, fifteen minutes in all. The Mahalingeshwara temple stands at the heart of the town, and the car can wait outside if anyone wants a short darshan. The coast's warm, damp air has arrived by now, so lighter clothes help. BC Road and the Mangalore highway are 30 km on, and Moodabidri lies about 60 km away.
Light lunch
BC Road, the trading junction next to Bantwal on the Netravati, is a good spot for a light lunch before the last half hour. Neer dosa, goli baje and Mangalore buns are on every counter, and patrode and kotte kadubu, the Tulu dishes, are worth trying. Twenty five minutes is fine for four. A side road of about 10 km leads to the Polali Rajarajeshwari temple if the family has time. The Moodabidri road branches off around here.
Drop in town
Moodabidri stands on NH169, about 34 km north east of Mangalore, and the car drops you at your stay or in the town centre. Coastal vegetarian food is easy to find, with neer dosa, patrode and kotte kadubu on most menus. The town is wet, about 4,530 mm of rain a year and roughly 1,511 mm in July alone, so carry umbrellas in the monsoon. Mangalore airport and the city are under an hour away for onward travel.

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.

Moodabidri is close to 260 km away, near 520 km for the return run. The car makes its way via Hunsur and Madikeri, winds down the ghat to Sullia and Puttur, and branches off at BC Road for the Jain town. Including a breakfast stop, cab time is around 6 to 6.5 hours.
Yes. Add the km to the trip. Mangalore is about 35 km from Moodabidri.
Only if we drive late into the night is a night allowance added. It is shown in the quote. The cab night bata is ₹400.
An Innova or Innova Crysta. A sedan is tight for five. All sizes are on cab rental in Mysore.
Sure. The one way fare is quoted in writing for your date.
Not included. Tolls, parking, permits and GST go on the bill at cost.
July is the wettest month, with about 1,511 mm of rain on average, and the town gets about 4,530 mm a year, nearly all from June to September. The Sampaje ghat on the way is slow in heavy rain. October to March is the easiest time for a cab trip, with dry roads and clear skies.
Yes, if each person brings one medium bag. A Dzire or Etios boot holds about four medium bags, with small bags at your feet. If the family carries large suitcases or plans shopping in Mangalore, choose the Innova, which has more room behind the last row.
