Why people make this trip
Short, constant, and rarely the whole trip. It is the station-to-hostel run at the start of term, the hotel-to-Kasturba run on the morning of an appointment, and the first six kilometres of every Manipal airport booking. Almost nobody books it alone; it is the leg that gets added to something else.
What the road is like
Straight up the Manipal road past Tiger Circle. The only slow stretch is by the hospital between 9 and 10 in the morning, when the outpatient queues are arriving.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Sri Krishna Matha, Udupi
- Manipal End Point
- Manipal Lake
One thing worth knowing
If you have luggage and a hospital appointment on the same day, book the vehicle for a block of hours rather than as two drops. The waiting costs less than two separate trips and the bags stay in the boot.
Which vehicle suits this route
For most groups on this route we suggest the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga — light, frugal and perfect for narrow temple streets. 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.
