Itinerary Description
Embark on a remarkable cycling journey from Mangalore to Goa, tracing the vibrant pulse of India’s western coastline. This 370-kilometer expedition is a celebration of contrasts—tranquil beaches and thundering surf, bustling fishing villages and lush green jungles, quiet backroads and lively local markets. Dawn in Mangalore brings shimmering golden sands and the salty breeze of the Arabian Sea, setting the tone for days of immersive, pedal-powered discovery.
The route invites you to hug the undulating coastline along NH66, with stunning detours that promise unforgettable encounters. Glide past endless rows of coconut palms, cross pristine river estuaries via quaint ferries, and pause often to savor Karnataka’s unique coastal delicacies at roadside shacks. Highlights abound—the dramatic highway stretch where Maravanthe Beach and the Souparnika River run parallel is a visual delight, while the temple town of Udupi offers both spiritual and culinary reset.
