Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Mookambika
We collect you from homes and hotels across Kochi, from Aluva to Maradu. An Ernakulam to Mookambika taxi sets off north on NH 66, and a Cochin Airport to Mookambika taxi joins the coastal road through Paravur. The lead driver confirms your lodge booking at Kollur before leaving. The first 410 km follow the coast past Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasaragod. The car crosses into Karnataka at Talapady, and the Kochi to Mookambika via Mangalore route then bypasses Mangaluru's busy centre. The border check post is open all night. North of the city, the road reaches Udupi, home of the Sri Krishna Matha. A Kochi to Udupi taxi ends here, and many families pause for darshan before moving on. Kundapura, about 35 km further, is where the car leaves the coast and turns inland. The last 40 km climb gently through teak and bamboo forest to Kollur, on the banks of the Sowparnika river. The Kochi to Mookambika distance by road is close to 545 km. Drops are near the temple's main gate, a short walk from the lodges. A Kochi to Kodachadri taxi continues about 20 km toward the peak where Adi Shankaracharya is believed to have meditated. The final stretch to the summit needs a local forest jeep. Jeeps leave from the base village in the early morning.
