Mangalore – a sleepy, coastal town in Karnataka, India is a must-see destination if you are into any or all of these:
- Beaches
- Seafood
- Trekking
- Temples, and
- Ice creams!
Beaches: Clean and offers variety. Some are rocky n wild. Others are calm and shallow. Someshwar, Thannerbhavi and Panambur are beaches one could visit.
Seafood: It’s a coastal town. They have fish. Lots of fish. It may be a bit spicy for some of you.
Trekking: There are lots of places around Mangalore (within an hour or a couple of hours’ drive) where you could do some great trekking and camping.
Temples: People come from far and wide to visit the temples in Mangalore.
Ice creams: Very cheap and large!
It rains hard from June to August. That’s another experience you may love. Go on, Get out there. Mangalore beckons! Here are some of my snaps from Mangalore.
