Kottayam To Udupi

Udupi - Decent place and people

Post by Ulhas

We traveled by car from Panaji via Karvar, it took us 6 hours to cover 320 kms. Road is very good and traffic was not much. On the way if you want can visit the famous Gokarna temple and spend some time at Murdeshwar.

Quaint Place for brief holiday

Udupi is accessible by Konkan Railway from Mumbai/Mangalore/Kerala/Goa. Its a 16 hour train ride from Mumbai. For air travellers, there is nearby city of Mangalore which is a 1 hour drive by bus. Due to presence of Manipal which is a cosmopolitan student mini city, most locals can understand Hindi and few can speak the language too. Not much of negatives except the weather since its only summer here all through the year and rains for 3 months.

Udupi sightseeing

We live in Bangalore. We felt the local Taxis at Udupi were abnormally costlier. We avoided them as much as possible and preferred auto rickshaws, buses and trains.
