With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Udupi, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Udupi Krishna Temple, Malpe Beach and Anantha Padmanabha Temple. Located 55 miles away, Chikkamagaluru is another popular destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Mullayanagiri Temple, Sringeri Mutt and Seethalayanagiri Temple.
