All-Temple and All-Beach Tours
Prefer one theme for the day? We run an all-temple tour, starting at the Sri Krishna Matha and covering temples such as Kadiyali Mahishamardini Temple and Sri Janardhana Mahakali Temple, Ambalpady. The all-beaches tour links the coast, including Malpe, Kaup and Delta Beach, with time to walk, swim where it is safe and enjoy the sunset. See also our guide to Mattu Beach. Tell us what you want to see and we will plan the order.
Who an auto suits
An auto is the best-value choice for solo travellers, couples and small groups of up to three. It is open-air and handles narrow temple lanes easily. For larger groups, AC, or trips beyond about 25 km such as Kollur, book a taxi.
