One common route is 1. Bangalore - Hassan - Shiradi Ghat - Mangalore - Udupi, aprox 430km. Expect at least 60km as bad road in this route.

You can try the below routes:

2. Bangalore - Hassan - Shiradi Ghat - Dharmastala - Udupi. distance aprox. 400km. Here you can avoid Mangalore - Udupi bad/busy road traffic, is ideal one for sure.

3. Bangalore - Shimoga - Teerthahalli - Agumbe - Udupi. distance aprox. 430km good with less traffic. very much scenic route with few ghat section. might take 10 hours.

4. Bangalore - Shimoga - Hosanagara - Kodachadri - Kollur - Kundapur - Udupi Distance aprox. 500km, which is very very scenic one. might take 12 hours. this is not suggested route but depends on your interest.

If you want to explore yourself try Via Shimoga as option3, you can enjoy the drive. You can try lunch 4km before Teerthahalli (340km from Bangalore) in Vihangama home stay which offers costly but excellant food or have lunch in Jewel Rock in Shimoga.

I suggest option 2 or option3.

Regards,

Ravi.
