Travel & Highway Overview (62 km • 1 hr 20 mins)
The 62 km drive from Manipal follows National Highway 66 past Kaup, Padubidri, and Mulki before taking the scenic bypass up the Bajpe hill to the terminal. Road conditions are generally smooth four-lane highway with minimal congestion outside peak Mangalore office hours.
