Sharing my Udupi to Murdeshwar road trip experience.

It is about 100 kms and the drive takes you through several beautiful scenery.

At about 50 kms, make a pit stop at the gorgeous Maravanthe beach. Arabian Sea on one side, Souparnika River on the other side and the backdrop of western ghats makes this NH66 kilometre odd stretch drive a must have experience and it's a visual treat.   

There is only one toll on this drive and it costs Rs. 50.

Total time taken - 2 hours

Distance - 100 kms

 

Guide for Murudeshwar Shiva temple:

  1. Visit the cave museum under the Shiva Statue. Entry to Bhukailasa cave is Rs. 10 per person. You will be able to hear the mythological story of Ravana and Atma linga and how Murudeshwar came into existence.
  2. Do not forget to take the lift up the second tallest 237 ft, 20 odd storied temple tower to enjoy the majestic aerial view of Lord Shiva, Arabian Sea and the city. Charges - Rs. 20 per adult and Rs. 10 for children. Timing: Morning: 7 AM - 12:45 PM, Afternoon: 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM. Go early to avoid rush.
  3. Finally visit the main temple for linga Darshan. Temple timing: 6:00 AM - 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM - 8:15 PM.  Ample Car parking is available and is Rs. 30.
