Early pickup
Seven hours of road with halts lie between Mysore and Udupi for a mini bus, which is why the group of fourteen to twenty five meets at 4:45 at the city's KSRTC suburban stand. Suitcases are loaded first, then seats are taken, and the driver checks the count. Leaving by the ring road, the bus swings onto the Hunsur road at Hinkal. Daylight on the Sampaje ghat is the reason for the hour. On the coast, Tulu is heard more than Kannada.

Tea halt
First stop, Hunsur, 45 km out: fifteen minutes so twenty people can drink tea and queue for the restroom. The roadside hotels charge little and know early buses. Teak yards and tobacco fields ring the town, and SH 90 leaves from here for Virajpet. Periyapatna and Kushalnagar slip by without a halt on this route, so breakfast waits until Madikeri, some 75 km on. A packet of biscuits in hand helps the smaller ones.

Breakfast
At Madikeri, 120 km out and around 1,170 m up, the mini bus group sits down to breakfast, forty minutes for twenty at a single hotel. The British ran Kodagu from here after 1834, and the town is still the district seat. Pepper, cardamom and coffee powder are sold in the bazaar. Five spare minutes can go to the Omkareshwara temple and its pond in the centre. Everyone uses a restroom before the descent, which has no planned halt.

Tea halt
Sullia comes at the bottom of the ghat, around 170 km from Mysore, and the mini bus gives everyone fifteen minutes for tea. The little taluk centre is full of tea stalls and budget lodges. Snack counters carry kadubu and, in season, jackfruit dumplings. Nine km away at Jalsoor the Kerala road peels off for Kasaragod, but our bus follows the road to Puttur, about 30 km more. Water bottles should be filled here for the warm coast.

Drive on
Puttur, near the 200 km mark, is a bus hub and the seat of one of Dakshina Kannada's main temples, the 12th century Mahalingeshwara, listed alongside Dharmasthala, Kukke Subramanya and Kateel. Ten minutes allows darshan for those who want it. District roads here are narrow, with blind curves, and get muddy in the rains, so the mini bus keeps an unhurried pace. Mangalore lies about 55 km ahead, roughly an hour and a quarter.

Lunch
Mangalore, about 255 km out, is where the mini bus group breaks for lunch, 45 minutes at one restaurant with long tables. Kerala is only about 14 km south of the city, but our road heads north. Udupi style vegetarian thalis come quickly for twenty, and bangude pulimunchi, the spiced mackerel, pleases fish eaters. Roof tiles and cashew are the city's old industries. Udupi sits about 58 km up NH66.

Group drop
Around seven hours after Mysore, the mini bus drops the group at its Udupi hotel. One hotel for twenty keeps the next morning simple. Local dishes worth trying are neer dosa, goli baje, patrode and kashi halwa. Udupi sarees, handloom pure cotton, make an easy gift. From Udupi, NH66 continues north to Kundapura, about 37 km, and Maravanthe beach lies about 17 km beyond it, if the group goes on up the coast.
Taking 20 devotees on a Mysore to Udupi mini bus trip to Sri Krishna Matha? It is a full day on the road, so most groups stay two or three nights on the coast. We have been doing mini bus on rent in Mysore since 2009. Pickup anywhere in Mysuru: Mysore airport at Mandakalli or the railway station.

For Udupi, a group of 14 to 16 takes the 16 seater mini bus. Around 20 travellers fit the 20 seater mini bus, and 21 the 21 seater mini bus. The 25 seater mini bus is for the full 25.
Udupi with more than 25? Take the Mysore to Udupi bus. A smaller family fits the Mysore to Udupi tempo traveller. Other Mysore trips: see mini bus on rent in Mysore.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.
By mini bus, Udupi is about seven hours from Mysore for roughly 310 km, or near 620 km both ways. After Hunsur and Madikeri the route descends to Sullia, continues through Puttur and Mangalore, and finishes with about 58 km north on NH66.
Udupi groups up to 16 take the 16 seater, around 20 the 20 seater, and 22 to 25 the 22 or 25 seater. Our mini bus on rent in Mysore page has every size.
Yes, past 10 pm a night allowance goes on the bill. Plan the start time and it rarely comes up. The mini bus night bata is ₹600 to ₹700, by size.
Sure. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
No. Tolls, parking and permits are paid at cost, and GST is added on the bill.
In the parking lots outside Car Street. It is a short walk to the matha.
Between March and May the Udupi coast can touch about 38 C. Keep outings for the cooler morning and evening hours and rest after lunch. The Kodagu part of the drive is noticeably cooler, and the mini bus air conditioning handles the long ride. From November to February the weather is kindest for groups.
The day is broken into short legs, with tea in Hunsur, breakfast in Madikeri, more tea in Sullia and lunch in Mangalore, so nobody sits too long. Older travellers get the front seats for the ghat. Their tablets and water should be in a hand bag. The hotel drop at Udupi is close to the town centre.
