Udupi Unexplored
What comes to your mind when you think of Udupi?
Slowly disappearing Sun at crowded Malpe beach? Spiritual feel at the famous Krishna temple or numerous divine temples spread across the district? Aerial sea view from the lighthouse of Kapu(Kaup) beach? Mysterious rock formation at St Mary’s island?
Well, you are not alone. These are the most visited places across the district and for obvious reasons these places will be on top of the checklist for the tourists visiting Udupi.
