Set deep in the Kundapura hinterland, this temple hosts one of the largest annual jatres in the district, drawing lakhs of devotees…
Byndoor and Someshwara beach · 75 km · about 1 hour 45 minutes one way · chauffeur-driven
Udupi to Byndoor is 75 km north on NH-66, about an hour and three-quarters. It is the last town in Udupi district and a coastal turn-off for Kollur.
Two kinds of trip come this way. One is practical — Byndoor is a junction on the coastal road and the shortest approach to Kollur from the north. The other is the beaches: Someshwara and the Byndoor stretch are among the emptiest on this coast, with none of the weekend crowd Malpe gets.
North on NH-66 through Kundapura and past Maravanthe, which is the finest stretch of the drive — river on one side, sea on the other. Straightforward road the whole way.
Time the Maravanthe stretch for the return leg at sunset rather than the outward one in the morning. Same road, completely different drive.
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.

Driver was good and travel experience went smooth
We booked an Innova for our family trip from Mookambika to Mangalore. The entire experience was smooth and hassle-free, from booking to payment. Our driver, Kiran, was very professional, friendly, and courteous throughout the journey. He drove safely and made the trip comfortable for our family. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend their service to others.
Had a wonderful experience with this service for our round trip from Udupi to Sringeri on 5-Oct-2026. The pricing was very affordable, and our driver, Haris, was extremely friendly, professional, and courteous throughout the journey. The Etios was clean and in excellent condition. What impressed me the most was his safe and confident driving, especially during heavy rain and on the ghat roads. He also drove very carefully while returning at night. I travelled with my family and felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Overall, it was a very smooth and pleasant experience. I would definitely avail of this service again in the future and would highly recommend Haris and this service to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and affordable ride.

Travelled with driver Harish. His driving skill and sense of humor appreciated
Hired Harrish for 6 hours in Udupi and had a very smooth experience. He arrived on time, knew all the local spots, and covered everything efficiently without rushing us. Very polite, safe driving and clean car. Highly recommended for short trips in and around Udupi.
