Why people make this trip
The Sharada Peetham on the banks of the Tunga is one of the four mathas established by Adi Shankaracharya. The fish in the river below the temple are famously tame, which children enjoy more than the temple itself.
What the road is like
The Agumbe ghat is the defining stretch — fourteen hairpins through rainforest, spectacular and genuinely demanding. In heavy monsoon the mist can cut visibility to a few metres. This is a road where an experienced driver earns their keep.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Agumbe Sunset Point
- Sita Nadi
- Kudlu Theertha Falls (via Hebri)
One thing worth knowing
The Urbania can manage the Agumbe hairpins but it is slow going. For groups under seven we strongly suggest the Innova Crysta instead — it is a much more settled ride.
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. 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.
