This is just an extension of Mangalore trip. You can read about the Mangalore trip here

From Mangalore around 50 kms to Udupi. There is one toll which costs Rs 45 for four wheeler, single trip. Double trip costs 70. While going to Udupi, don't miss to visit Udupi Sri Krishna temple, which is nice place to visit. Most part of this stretch is four lane. On the way to Udupi, there are some excellent beaches are there. If you have time, you can just relax in these beaches. Some of the beaches in the route are Kapu, Sasihthlu, Panambur (almost everytime, I used to go to Panambur, excellent one) & others.

Road Trip - Bangalore to Mekedaatu - Sangam - One day trip

Travelled on 3 Jan 2015.

Nice place for one day trip. Around 100 kms from Bangalore. Take NICE road and exit through Kanakapura road. After the exit from NICE road, it will take around 30 kms to Kanakapura. Once you reach Kanakapura, take left from second roundabout and go straight for another 30 kms to reach Mekedatu. There is only one KSTDC restaurant and a pay and use restroom is there. It will be better if you take food along with you. If you are a lover of fish, you can see many stalls serving hot fishes. Take care of your stomach. Water is not so deep and we can walk and cross the river. This won't be the case if you are travelling on a rainy season.

The condition of road is good, only issue is not much width is there. But traffic is very less and you can cruise along. Along the way from Kanakapura to Mekedatu, there are some Halli (village) are there, slow down and safe drive.
