Pickup at your door
Your driver arrives at the house, the hotel or the station, wherever you are in Mysuru. Families who want flowers, kumkum or coconuts for the Shiva temple can pick them up the evening before at Devaraja market near the railway station, an old maze of stalls worth about an hour. Murudeshwar is a 400 km day, so we roll at 6 am and reach the sea before dusk. The car slips onto the Hunsur road from the ring road, well away from the palace traffic.
Breakfast at Hunsur
Forty five km of easy highway brings you to Hunsur, a town at roughly 800 m where the morning air still has a nip in it. Ask for idli and coffee and the plates come in minutes. The hotels are basic but cheap and quick, which suits a family that wants to keep moving on a long day. Fifteen minutes is enough. After Hunsur the road rolls on through Periyapatna towards the Coorg hills, with Madikeri 75 km on.
Tea in the hills
In Madikeri, the car pauses for coffee and a fuel top up. People who love views often ask about Mandalpatti, but that viewpoint is 30 to 35 km out and needs a hired jeep for the last part, so it belongs to a separate Coorg holiday. Ten minutes and you are off again. The Sampaje bends begin straight after town, and the coast is still a good 280 km away, so the driver keeps a calm, even pace.
Short break after the ghat
The hills fall away and Puttur arrives, a trading town where arecanut is bought and sold by the lorry load. Your car can stop beside the Mahalingeshwara temple at the centre for a brief darshan, or at a roadside stall for tender coconut. Ten minutes is plenty. The air is now warm and damp, so this is the moment to swap jackets for cotton. Mangalore, and lunch, is 55 km further.
Coastal lunch
For lunch in Mangalore, try chicken ghee roast, or pundi with a coastal curry if you prefer something lighter; vegetarians do well with Udupi style meals. Half an hour is fine for four. The city stands between the Netravati and the Gurupura, and the car only touches its edge before heading north on NH66. From here to Murudeshwar is 145 km of coast road, with Udupi the first town. Mangalore is also known for cashew, so a small packet for the car is a good idea.
Masala dosa town
Udupi is the town credited with the masala dosa, and its hotels still make a crisp one in minutes, so a snack with filter coffee makes sense here. If anyone wants a quick darshan, the Krishna Matha is in the old quarter, though the queue can take longer than fifteen minutes. Malpe harbour lies 5 km to the west. Murudeshwar is 90 km on, about two hours with traffic. Udupi gets very busy at Krishna Janmashtami, so on that day keep the stop for coffee only.
Optional beach detour
Kundapura sits on NH66 about 37 km north of Udupi. Kodi beach is about 15 km away on the same stretch of coast, a sunset detour for families who start early enough. Most cab trips simply roll through, perhaps stopping for a cold drink. Coastal seafood is what the town is known for, if you plan dinner here on the way back. A little north, the highway runs between the sea and the river at Maravanthe.
Through Bhatkal
Bhatkal is the last town before Murudeshwar, 15 km short of it, and the highway runs straight through the town, so traffic slows here. The car does not stop unless you want a snack; the town is known for Bhatkali biryani, which some families keep for dinner. Fuel and lunch hotels line the road. Murudeshwar is part of Bhatkal taluk, so the next village is already your destination. Remind everyone to collect phones, chargers and sunglasses from the seats before the final few km.
Drop near the temple
The cab drops you at your hotel on the beach road or near the temple entrance, whichever you prefer first. A dress code applies for temple entry, so keep traditional clothes handy for the darshan. Fish thali and neer dosa are the local meals, with plain vegetarian food near the temple. Murudeshwar station is on the Konkan Railway if anyone leaves by train. The driver stays nearby, ready for next morning's plan.
Is a Mysore to Murudeshwar cab enough for an office outing, just a few of you? The same Mysore to Murudeshwar taxi can do a one way drop or a full round trip. Pickup in Mysuru from your home, your hotel, the railway station or the airport at Mandakalli. Tejas Tours & Travels runs cab rental in Mysore: Dzire or Etios for four, Innova or Innova Crysta for six or seven.

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.

The temple town is roughly 400 km away, close to 800 km for the round run. A car takes Hunsur and Madikeri, the Sampaje ghat and Puttur, then from Mangalore follows NH66 north through Udupi, Kundapura and Bhatkal. Cab driving time is about 8.5 to 9 hours with brief stops.
An Innova or Innova Crysta for the Murudeshwar group. See each car on cab rental in Mysore. For Murudeshwar, six with their bags fit.
They are extra. Tolls, parking and any state permit are billed as paid, plus GST.
Yes, a night allowance for the driver applies after 10 pm. It is on the quote, so you know it upfront. Our card says ₹400 per night.
Yes. A Mysore to Murudeshwar one way taxi is quoted on request.
Breakfast at Madikeri, around 120 km from Mysore and lunch at Mangalore, roughly 255 km out. With a car you can change this on the day.
October to February is the pick. The coast is dry, the sea is calm and the Sampaje ghat is clear. March to May is hot and humid on NH66, so plan sightseeing early and late. June to September brings the monsoon, with very heavy rain on this coast and slow driving on the ghat, though the temple stays open.
Yes. An Innova seats six adults with space behind the last row for three medium bags and a box of pooja items. Coconuts and flowers travel best in a basket on the floor. If each person brings a large suitcase, choose the Innova Crysta or book a tempo traveller instead, so nobody rides with bags on their lap for 400 km.
