Why people make this trip
Mookambika draws pilgrims from across Dakshina Kannada and Kerala, and a great many of them travel up from Mangaluru or from the airport directly. The trip is long enough that the start time decides whether the day is pleasant or a scramble.
What the road is like
North on NH-66 through Udupi, Brahmavara and Kundapura, then inland from Byndoor. Four-lane and quick as far as Kundapura; the last inland stretch is two-lane and slower.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Anegudde Vinayaka Temple
- Guru Narasimha Temple, Saligrama
- Maravanthe Beach
- Kaup lighthouse
One thing worth knowing
Coming off a flight, go straight up rather than into the city first — the airport is on the northern edge and detouring into Mangaluru adds an hour to a trip that is already long.
Which vehicle suits this route
For most groups on this route we suggest the Toyota Innova Crysta — the car every coastal driver trusts on a long day.
