Why people make this trip
Everything administrative for Kundapura taluk happens in Udupi, so this road carries appointments, paperwork and college travel as much as pilgrimage. Add the Krishna Matha and Malpe and it is also the standard family outing from the north of the district.
What the road is like
Straight down four-lane NH-66 through Brahmavara. Quick and easy; the only slow spot is the Brahmavara junction in the middle of the day.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Anegudde Vinayaka Temple
- Guru Narasimha Temple, Saligrama
- Sri Krishna Matha, Udupi
- Malpe Beach
One thing worth knowing
If it is a hospital or court day, book the vehicle for the block of hours. Waiting is cheaper than a second trip and nothing about those days runs to schedule.
Which vehicle suits this route
For most groups on this route we suggest the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga — light, frugal and perfect for narrow temple streets. Every vehicle in the fleet is available for this trip, though: 4 cars from the Glanza up to the Innova Crysta, and the 11+1 and Force Urbania 16+1 tempo travellers for a group. Tell us your headcount and we will tell you honestly what travels best.
