Where the car goes
The road from Bangalore comes down the Shiradi ghat through Sakleshpur; from Mangalore it is a short run inland. Kukke Subramanya is about an hour further and most people combine the two.
When to go
Open year round. The monsoon, June to September, makes the ghat slow; the rest of the year is easy.
Worth knowing
- The temple serves a free meal to every visitor; the driver will time the visit around it if you ask.
- Two days from Bangalore lets you add Kukke Subramanya and still sleep at home the second night.
- From Mysore the road runs through Coorg, which is worth a stop in either direction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a cab to Dharmasthala cost from Bangalore?+
₹8,365 for a hatchback for 2 days, and ₹14,862 for the largest car — the whole round trip, driver allowance for every day and GST inside. Toll and parking are paid as they come.
Why is it priced as a round trip?+
Because the car waits for you. A one-way each way leaves you finding a car in a temple town at its busiest hour; the round trip keeps the same driver and the same car for the whole journey.
What if we take longer than the days booked?+
Tell the driver, and the extra day is added at the same per-day rate with its allowance. There is no penalty for an extra day; there is a bill for it.
