Getting there
Sri Somanatheshwara Temple is at Someshwara, Ullal, about 70 km from Udupi. We run chauffeur-driven cars and tempo travellers to it from Udupi, Manipal, Mangalore, Karkala and Kundapura. Your driver knows the darshan windows here and will plan the departure time around them rather than around the odometer.
Darshan timings, seva bookings and festival dates are set by the temple administration and do change. Please confirm with the temple directly before travelling — and tell us what you find, so we can time the drive to suit.
