Why people make this trip
Family departures more than anything else, and a steady stream of Gulf-sector travel from the villages along this stretch — which means a lot of 2 and 3 AM pickups.
What the road is like
Inland from Mulki through the Kateel road rather than down NH-66 and back up. Quiet two-lane road, no traffic worth planning around at any hour.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Bappanadu Durgaparameshwari Temple
- Kateel Durgaparameshwari Temple
- Sasihithlu Beach
One thing worth knowing
Gulf flights out of Mangaluru mostly leave before dawn. Book the evening before and you get the driver's number, which saves a lot of anxiety at 2 AM.
Which vehicle suits this route
For most groups on this route we suggest the Toyota Etios — the dependable sedan — a big boot and a quiet highway ride. 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.
