Family pickup
We come for the family at 5:30 am, because Murudeshwar is 400 km off and a tempo traveller day goes better with an early wheel. Suitcases go into the rear before anyone climbs in. If you want a snack box for the road, Mysore bonda with coconut chutney is the city's tea time favourite, best bought fresh the evening before. From home the van heads to the ring road and west on the Hunsur road. One adult should hold the list of who sits where.
First breakfast
Hunsur comes about an hour after pickup. A little before it, near Bilikere, a side road leads to Gommatagiri, the small Jain hill with a Bahubali statue, which families with spare time visit on the way home. In Hunsur, idli and dosa come fast at the highway hotels, and twenty minutes covers breakfast and the restrooms. Children can stretch by the river weir. Next is the climb to Madikeri. Pack the leftover bonda for the climb, since Madikeri is still 75 km ahead.
Tea and honey
Madikeri is the last hill town. The Coorg bee keepers sell honey near the post office, and coffee shops line the main road, so anyone who likes a jar can buy one, though the return day is better for shopping. Fifteen minutes covers tea and the restrooms. The driver fills fuel before the ghat. Give the children who feel the bends a window and a light snack. Madikeri sits at about 1,170 m, so early in the year the morning air is chilly at this halt.
Rest after the bends
Puttur is where the van finally leaves the ghat behind. Fifteen minutes of fresh air and buttermilk settles any child who felt the bends. The town is a busy arecanut market, and the Mahalingeshwara temple stands in its centre if grandparents want a quick prayer. The van parks on the main road. Mangalore is 55 km on, a little over an hour. Patrode, colocasia leaf rolls, appear on menus from here onwards and are worth a taste for the adults.
Lunch and a park idea
Mangalore is lunch, and the family can choose fish curry with rice, neer dosa, or vegetarian meals with kashi halwa for dessert. Thirty five minutes is enough. Pilikula park, about 370 acres with India's first 3D planetarium, is a good half day for children if you come back this way with spare time. The van then joins NH66 north towards Udupi, 55 km away. Mangalore buns from the highway bakeries keep well in a tiffin box for the late afternoon.
Window darshan
At the Udupi Krishna Matha, devotees see the deity through the Kanakana kindi, a small window, and families like to show the children. Twenty minutes is enough on a weekday. The Matha kitchens are where Udupi cuisine began. Coffee and a dosa outside the Matha make a good snack before the last stretch. Murudeshwar is 90 km north. The queue at the Matha moves slowly on weekends and festival days, so decide in advance who goes in and who waits by the van with the bags.
Tea on the coast road
Kundapura is the last bigger town before Murudeshwar, and the hotels here are known for coastal seafood. For the family this is a fifteen minute tea and restroom halt. Ask the driver to slow down a little north of town at Maravanthe, where the highway runs on a thin strip between the Arabian Sea and the Souparnika river; children love the view. Murudeshwar is about 55 km on. Kodi beach lies on this same stretch, which families sometimes add on the way home.
Slow through town
Bhatkal's main road is the highway itself, so the van slows down through the town. There is no planned stop, but fuel pumps and hotels line the road if anyone needs one. Bhatkali biryani is the town's dish, a dinner idea for families staying more than one night. From Bhatkal the temple is only 15 km, so start gathering the bags. Murudeshwar itself belongs to Bhatkal taluk. Ask the children to put shoes back on and fold the blankets, because the drop comes within twenty minutes.
Beach road drop
The van drops the family at the hotel on the beach road or near the temple, whichever you choose. Temple entry has a dress code, so keep traditional clothes in a handy bag. The local food is fish thali and neer dosa, with simple vegetarian meals as well. The temple stands on Kanduka hill with water on three sides, so the wind is strong in the evening; carry a light shawl for small children.

Mysore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Tejas Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

By road, Murudeshwar is about 400 km from Mysore, roughly 800 km there and back. The tempo traveller climbs through Hunsur to Madikeri, drops to Puttur, crosses Mangalore and follows NH66 past Udupi, Kundapura and Bhatkal. With family halts the trip takes about 8.5 to 9 hours.
Yes. It is around 15 km before Murudeshwar on this route. Keep 1.5 hours. Extra km over the billed km are charged at the same rate.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Ask for a one way quote with your date, and we send it in writing.
No, they are separate. GST, tolls, parking and any permit are charged at actual.
A late return after 10 pm adds a night bata for the driver. We put the amount in your quote. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the tempo traveller rate.
The 16 seater, with space for bags. Every size is listed on tempo traveller on rent in Mysore.
Usually, yes. The Sampaje ghat below Madikeri is the stretch that suffers in heavy rain, and it was cut by landslides in August 2018. We check the road news the evening before and start at dawn so the ghat is crossed in daylight. NH66 on the coast stays open but is slow in heavy showers.
It is long but manageable with our halts at Hunsur, Madikeri, Puttur, Mangalore, Udupi and Kundapura, roughly every one to two hours. Bring snacks, a tablet with downloaded films and a pillow for each child. If the family prefers, split the trip with a night in Udupi and reach Murudeshwar the next morning.
