Land at BLR at 11:30am; clear immigration/baggage and take a pre-booked taxi to your hotel for a relaxed check-in and short rest. Gives the family time to recover from the flight.
Iconic 57‑ft monolithic statue, a peaceful pilgrimage spot. Best visited in the morning (temple area is accessible sunrise–sunset); comfortable shoes and water recommended.
Outstanding Hoysala temple architecture and delicate carvings; both sites are open roughly 9:00am–5:00pm — plan to arrive before closing for a relaxed exploration.
The ornate palace offers a calm guided walkthrough; open ~10:00am–5:30pm (check for special night illumination hours). Good for family photographs and a cultural intro to the region.
The temple complex offers both spiritual atmosphere and structured darshan times (temple typically open early morning to noon, and later in the evening). Midday is okay but expect some crowding; family-friendly prasadam available.
A gentle cultural visit explaining the institution’s work; light walking and informative displays — good for kids and adults interested in social service.
Local temple/murti (Pichi Mandir) visit: check exact local timings on arrival — usually small, community-run temples are open in daytime and make for a quick cultural stop.
Malpe is ideal for a relaxed beach afternoon; small boats to St. Mary’s Island run roughly 9:00am–5:00pm (check on day), and the beach has safe swimming zones and shacks for kids.
Pack, have a relaxed breakfast and pick up a few souvenirs (spices, kokum, local sweets) before heading toward Mangalore airport. Keep shopping light and quick.
Drive ~1h to Mangalore for a short city visit: Kadri Manjunath Temple and Sultan Battery provide calm cultural stops without crowding — plan 1–2 easy sites.
Return to hotel and rest — keep afternoon free so the family is refreshed before the evening flight to Bengaluru. Light packing and early dinner recommended.
Dinner near the airport and arrive at least 90 minutes before the domestic flight; recommended evening flight to Bengaluru (choose an 7:00–8:30pm slot) so you reach Bengaluru late evening and can rest near the airport.
Take an evening flight back to Bengaluru and check into an airport hotel for an easy transfer to BLR early on 28th for your 6:20am departure. This avoids a long overnight drive and keeps travel light for the family.
