🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Hotel Ayodhya → Panambur Beach
💡 Flag one from the main road. Negotiate before getting in—they’ll quote ₹200. Offer ₹100 firm for a short hop like the beach. For longer trips like Mangaladevi Temple, cap at ₹150.
State Bank of India stop (near airport) → Hampankatta (then 5-min walk to Hotel Ayodhya)
💡 Buses stop near the airport gate. Walk 400m out to the main road. Have exact change. Get off at Hampankatta—Hotel Ayodhya is on the corner of the old bus stand road.
Mangalore Central Station → Kasaragod Station
💡 From Hotel Ayodhya, walk 10 mins to the station. Take the unreserved general class for a locals-only experience. Avoid the 7:25 AM express—it skips Kasaragod. Buy platform ticket (₹10) if you're just watching trains.
Mangalore International Airport (IXE) → Hotel Ayodhya
💡 Skip the touts. Use the official prepaid taxi counter inside the arrivals hall. Ask for a non-AC Ambassador if you want a rattly but cheap ride.

Top Attractions in Mangaluru
💡 Pop in for a quick look—the architecture and old ceiling fans give a sense of colonial-era Mangaluru. They have a small local-history section.
💡 Combination of the chapel and attached college grounds is worth half an hour. Sit in a back pew to take in the full ceiling effect.
💡 Remove shoes before entering; photography is allowed outside but not inside the main sanctum. Visit during morning puja for more atmosphere.
💡 Best light for photos is late afternoon when the sun hits the river. No shade, so carry water. The adjacent jetty offers a good view of boats.
💡 Go late afternoon for the sunset and stay for the working lighthouse; avoid weekends if you want quiet.
