hey wyeyip
welcome to India - i am sure you will have a blast at Manipal!
if you have yet to book your tickets from Malaysia, you can use the jet airways site and book a single ticket from Kuala Lampur to Udupi (via Bangalore or Chennai or Mumbai).
(Malaysia Airlines code shares with Jet so you will be flying MH to India)
hey PVDtoDEL, my wife is from Udupi - love that place - fresh seafood and a cold Kingfisher
