background
getting there
By plane
The next major airport is in Mangalore, about 56 kilometers away.
By train
By bus
Udupi is easily accessible by bus due to its proximity to Mangalore. Bus routes from Bangalore, for example, usually stop in Mangalore first before they stop in Udupi. The roads over the Westgahts are in poor condition, the drive is sometimes extremely bumpy. Booking a sleeper here saves a lot of suffering.
