The places mentioned are all pretty similar to Mangalore City. So you can set up a Mangalore base and prepare to visit these locations. The weather is still hot because it isclose to the coast.

For many decades, Mangaluru, the district headquarters of Dakshina Kannada, has been a trading hub from Bengaluru to the coast. It was the capital of the Alup rulers from the early Christian period until the end of the 14th century. The region was under the administration of the Vijayanagar dynasty from the 14th to the 16th centuries.
But the most important force was that of the Portuguese, who arrived in the 15th century on the coast. They opened a factory for trading and also brought the Roman Catholic faith with them. Conquered in 1763 by Haider Ali, Mangaluru became Mysore 's chief port. They made it the district headquarters of Kanara when Tipu Sultan's Fort fell to the British in 1799. This coastal area, with an important port, has become a thriving commercial centre. But with its narrow winding avenues fringed with coconut palms quaint houses with terracotta tiled roofs temples and churches it retains its old world charm.
