Udupi Tour Package

Udupi 

Udupi is a coastal town in Karnataka, popular throughout the world for its vegetarian cuisine and South Indian restaurants. Udupi is also the location where Manipal 's educational hub is located, with beautifully carved ancient temples, laidback beaches and unexplored forests. Udupi, situated 60 km from Mangalore, is renowned for its temple culture.

This pilgrim centre, surrounded on one side by the Arabian Sea and on the other by the Western Ghats, is the most important city in Karnataka after Bangalore and Mangalore. Being a holy place, the Krishna Temple is one of the most significant attractions here. Locally, Udupi is also known as Rajata Peetha and Shivalli.

In Karnataka, some of the most beautiful beaches are in Udupi. Malpe Beach is a tourist hotspot because it has beach shacks that offer some of the most delicious fresh seafood off the boat, a culture on the beach unlike any other in Southern Karnataka, and many water sports as well. You can take a ship to St. Mary 's Island from here, which is popular for its black rocks.

Udupi tourist places

Considered to be one of South India's most popular pilgrimage sites, one of the most auspicious temples dedicated to Lord Krishna is the Krishna Temple or the Udupi Sri Krishna Matha. Krishna's idol is decorated with diamonds and a golden carriage. What makes the temple distinctive is its pattern of adoration. Only through a silver-plated window with nine holes called the Navagraha Kitiki does the prayer and operation of the entire worship take place.

The Shree Krishna Matha is surrounded by a temple known as Udupi Anantheshwara Temple. This temple dates back 1,000 years. The temple bears a similarity to a living ashram, cultivating devotion and everyday life. It is also the birthplace of the Udupi type of literature, Daasa Sahitya. Between the eight mathas, the administration and temple offerings are handled cyclically every two years. They are known as Ashta Mathagalu collectively.

Since Krishna 's mother Yashoda wanted to see him take the form of a boy, his idol saw the same kind. Every year, thousands of devotees are drawn to the Krishna Temple, and regular prayers begin at 4:00 AM with the blowing of a conch shell. Several festivals (held in January) include Ramanavami, Deepavali, Krishnashtami, Hanuman Jayanti, Saptotsava and the Seven Utsavas, and the Paryaya Festival (once every two years).

St. Mary 's Island, Karnataka, is the land where Vasco De Gama set his first foot, a land whose geological significance is enormous and whose beauty is magnificent. St. Mary's Island is an island with white sand beaches, rock monoliths and great wildlife just off the coast with Udupi, making it a mesmerising place to be.

St. Mary 's Island, situated just 4 miles off the Karnataka coast in the Arabian Sea, is a geological wonder and hosts some of the country's most beautiful beaches. Coconut Island, North Island, South Island, and Daryabahadurgarh Island are a group of four individual islands.

Malpe beach is at the top of the list of exquisite, unexplored beaches in India. It is situated 66 kilometres away from Mangalore and 6 kilometres away from Udupi in Karnataka. Among locals and foreigners alike, this scenic beach is popular. The pristine white sand, the nice weather, the delicious food shacks here and the many choices for water sports make Malpe Beach an ideal place for a quick escape.

There are four rugged islands on the vast coastline of this secret gemstone of Karnataka. Daria-Bahadurgad is the northern-most island, Daria-Gadara-Kallu is the middle one, while Kari-Illada-Kallu is the southernmost island. The fourth rocky island is the most popular and often visited one, St. Mary's Island. This beach is located at the mouth of the river Udyavara, which is a small river that flows around this beach and is usually referred to by locals as the Malpe River.

This could just be one of the town's most stunning destinations, a must-visit beach in the city. A lighthouse is also located here, twinkling at a height of 100 ft. With so few visitors visiting, it is an offbeat beach. Around the beach, there are many pretty Airbnb's that make for the perfect getaway.

Jomlu Teerth, located in the Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary, is a waterfall created by the mesmerising Sita River. In the centre of the dense natural reserve, the fall cascades down rocky terrain from a height of 20 feet. It is certain that the music made by the gushing body of water and the birds singing their hearts away will captivate one and all.

Devoted to Lord Shiva, before entering the Krishna Temple, this temple must be visited by all devotees, as it is also situated right next to it. This temple's history goes back more than 900 years and is older than that of Krishna Mutt. Within, it is said to be extremely calm.

Ananteshwar Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is an ancient temple from the 8th century that is thought to be the oldest in the city. The Chandramouleshwara and Krishna Temples are both located in the temple complex. The main shrine is made of stone and has a silver door frame that was recently built. In the temple complex, a Hindu philosopher, Madhavacharya, studied and taught his disciples.

Coin Museum Corp Bank, also known as the Heritage Museum of Corporate Bank, has an extensive collection of coins dating back to 400 BC belonging to various dynasties. Extensive knowledge of the history of banking in India after 1906 can also be obtained. The house of the founder of the Corporation Bank was remodelled as a 'Financial Temple' to create the Heritage Museum. Around 1400 coins with a current market value of over 4 million rupees are housed in the museum.

Pajaka Kshetra is the birthplace of Shree Madhavacharya, a renowned philosopher. The place is believed to be highly sacred and was mentioned in a biographical poem written by Shree Hrushikesha, a disciple of Shree Madhavacharya, called Sampraday Paddhati. In the kshetra that devotees and visitors can visit, many facts and monuments associated with Madhavacharya have been preserved.

Surrounded on three sides by water, Kodi Beach is a great attraction for lovers of the beach. At this cove, the River Suvarna joins the glorious Arabian Sea, and is thus also known as the Delta Cove. It has a small fishing port and is renowned for its baby food and freshly cooked seafood.

Kodi Bengre Beach is a commercial beach in the sleepy village of Kodi Bengre, situated 70 km from Mangalore and 9 km from Udupi in Karnataka. As the River Suvarna merges here with the majestic Arabian Sea, it is also known as the 'sangama' spot.

The beach boasts scintillating sunset and sunrise views, apart from the usual fishing shenanigans, and offers a pristine atmosphere and solitude as very few people come here. Although the golden sands are perfect for relaxing and rejuvenating and watching the enchanting panoramic views, the beach waters are not appropriate for swimming since they have sinking sands and the practise could pose serious risks to life.

What is famous in Udupi for shopping?

While Udupi is a comparatively smaller town, its shopping manual contains quite a few interesting listings. It is well known for its world-famous Udupi cuisine, so most shops selling a plethora of culinary products starting from snacks, juice extracts, spices and oils used in authentic Udupi cooking are bound to find one. A special mention among the cooking vessels sold here is the aluminium pans used to make Guliyappa and Aruvamane used to scrape coconuts.

Udupi is also considered to be a storehouse of traditional textiles and clothes. At fair rates, Kanjeevaram, Dharmavaram and Banaras silk sarees can be found. Among female shoppers, other traditional and modern garments and different styles of jewellery are especially popular.
