Why people make this trip
Kundapura is where the northern coast begins. Some travel is local — family visits, the Maranakatte jatre in December and January, taluk office work — but most bookings on this stretch are people passing through towards Mookambika at Kollur or the beaches beyond.
What the road is like
Straight up four-lane NH-66 through Brahmavara and Koteshwara. A quick, easy road with the estuary crossings opening up on the left as you go north.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Anegudde Vinayaka Temple, Kumbashi
- Guru Narasimha Temple, Saligrama
- Koteshwara
- Hoode Delta Beach
One thing worth knowing
Anegudde sits right on this road about 10 km before Kundapura. Adding it costs twenty minutes and it is the stop most families are glad they made.
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.
