Bangalore to Mangalore Cab

Bangalore to Mangalore by cab

Mangalore, on the Karnataka coast, is about 350 km from Bangalore, around 7 hours by road. The drive crosses the Western Ghats, which makes it one of the more scenic long trips from the city. A cab suits families, temple visitors and anyone carrying luggage.

The road

The usual route runs west through Kunigal and Hassan, then down through Sakleshpur and the Shiradi Ghat towards the coast. The ghat section is the part to plan around. Heavy rain, repairs or landslides can bring delays or diversions, especially in the monsoon, from around June to September. Your driver will follow the open route on the day.

Stops on the way

Hassan is close to the Hoysala temples of Belur and Halebidu, which make a fine detour. Sakleshpur has coffee and spice country. Many travellers also combine this trip with the temples at Dharmasthala and Kukke Subrahmanya, so tell us your plan in advance.

Things to do in and around Mangalore

The city is known for its beaches, such as Panambur and Tannirbhavi, and for its coastal food. Temples and churches in the city are also worth a visit. Udupi, famous for its Krishna temple, is a short drive north along the coast.

Planning your trip

Start early, so that you reach the ghat in good light. If you have a flight or train to catch from Mangalore, leave plenty of margin rather than arriving on the same tight schedule. For an overnight stay, compare a round trip with a one-way booking.

Choosing a vehicle

A sedan suits two or three people, while an SUV gives more comfort on a long drive with bags. Groups visiting temples together can compare tempo travellers in the search results. If anyone is prone to travel sickness on hill roads, plan for a break before the ghat.

How booking works

Search with your pickup, drop, date and time, then compare the vehicles and fares on screen. Pick a car, add your name, mobile number and exact pickup address, and pay the 20% advance. The rest goes to the driver. Tolls, permits and parking are charged at actuals where they apply. Please read our cancellation and refund policy before you confirm.
