Why people make this trip
Mookambika is the trip visiting parents ask for most. Families come to Manipal for an admission or a convocation and take a day for Kollur while they are on the coast — it is close enough to do and back inside one day without disrupting anything.
What the road is like
Down to NH-66 and north through Brahmavara, Kundapura and Byndoor, then inland. The coastal approach is faster and prettier than the Siddapura road, with the Maravanthe stretch on the way.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Anegudde Vinayaka Temple
- Guru Narasimha Temple, Saligrama
- Maravanthe Beach
- Souparnika river ghat
One thing worth knowing
Carry a change of clothes if anyone means to bathe in the Souparnika before darshan. The ghat is a two-minute walk from the temple and the water is cleanest early.
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. 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.
