Home to the Krishna Temple, Udupi cuisine, and Karnataka's most vibrant coastal culture.
The Udupi-Mangalore coastline is the cultural and culinary heart of Karnataka's coast. Udupi is famous for the Sri Krishna Temple, where Lord Krishna is worshipped through a silver-plated window, and for giving birth to the globally known Udupi cuisine — pure vegetarian dishes served with dosas, idlis, and sambar. Mangalore, a bustling port city, offers a different flavor — Mangalorean cuisine with seafood, ghee roast, and neer dosa. Visit St. Mary's Island with its hexagonal basalt columns, Malpe Beach, and the Kadri Manjunath Temple. The coastline is dotted with pristine beaches and coconut groves.
