Timing changes everything in Udupi. March sits in the warm shoulder closing the peak of the South India calendar, the kind of month that defines what you get from the trip more than any other variable, including the stay choice. We've architected Udupi missions in every month; here is exactly what March delivers and how we work it.
October to February brings the most pleasant coastal weather, warm, dry days ideal for temple visits and the beach. March to May is hot and humid. The southwest monsoon (June to September) is heavy on this shore, with a rough sea that limits the St. Mary's Islands boat crossing, though the temple ritual continues year-round and the Paryaya festival, held in January of odd years, is a spectacular time to visit.
For March specifically: Holi (typically Mar) is a worthwhile cultural anchor with private arrangements. The standard Udupi architecture (krishna's temple town & the home of the dosa) is preserved; the day-pacing is rebuilt around this month's conditions.
