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.
Vehicle, driver, driver bata and fuel. Toll, parking and any permit charges are billed at actuals.

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.
Excellent Trip Experience with Padmavathi Tours & Travels We had a wonderful trip covering Anegudde, Guru Narasimha, Kamalashile, and Kollur Mookambika. The entire journey was very smooth and enjoyable. Our driver, Haris, was very friendly, funny, helpful, and professional. He took us to all the temples at the right time and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. His driving was excellent, safe, and comfortable, and he also brought us back to our room on time. Overall, it was a very memorable and enjoyable experience. We are really happy with the service provided by Padmavathi Tours & Travels. Special thanks to Haris for making our trip even more enjoyable.
