About this
Sringeri first, for the Sharada Peetham and the Vidyashankara temple on the Tunga, ideally before the pilgrim buses. Then the road south along the river to Kalasa and the Kalaseshwara temple, and on to Horanadu for the midday meal that the Annapoorneshwari temple serves to every visitor without exception. It is as much a drive through the areca and paddy of the Bhadra valley as a temple day, and it works for people who have no interest in temples at all.

Guide optional. Go with a guide or go on your own — entirely your call. All three temples welcome visitors without any arrangement. A driver or guide saves you the route-finding.
No guide on MaladTrip has listed this one yet, so it cannot be booked here. You can still do it on your own — the details above are what you need. We have described it anyway: it is worth doing, and we would rather tell you it exists than pretend it does not.
