I always thought Udupi was a temple town.
Turns out it gave me one of the most relaxing beach weekends I’ve had in Karnataka.
✓ Friday night bus from Bengaluru
✓ Saturday at Kodi Beach + Mangrove Kayaking
✓ Sunday at St. Mary’s Island + Malpe Beach
✓ Back in Bengaluru before work on Monday
Approximate cost per person:
🚌 Bus: ₹1,500 one way
🛶 Mangrove kayaking: ₹300
🚕 Local transport: ₹500 per person in 2 days
🏕️ Stay: Depends on the property and season
Saturday:
📍 Stayed near Kodi Beach with direct sea access
📍 Surf boards provided by the host
📍 Peaceful beach with very few crowds
📍 1.5 hours kayaking through the mangrove forest near Kodi Beach
Tip: Go early morning or after lunch. Midday can get very hot.
Sunday:
📍 Malpe Beach
📍 St. Mary’s Island (don’t miss this)
The boat ride takes around 30 minutes and the volcanic rock formations are unlike anything I’ve seen near Bengaluru.
2 hours on the island is enough. Carry water.
After returning to Malpe, enjoy the beach or try the water sports like Goa
Before heading back, don’t miss lunch at :
🍽️ Thimmappa Fish Hotel
One thing I liked about Udupi:
It felt peaceful.
No rush. No pressure. Just beaches, seafood and slow evenings and lots of fun.
If you’re from Udupi, what else should I add to my next trip
