About approx. 10 Kms from Udupi is Malpe. An ideal picnic spot with
its virgin beach. The endless stretch of golden sand, graciously swaying palm trees, the clear blue sky, gurgle of the sea… all set the perfect mood for the unforgettable holiday here.
St. Mary's Island, another delightful get away is only a boat-ride away across Malpe, here one can find a unique formation of volcanic rocks which are vertical hexagonal rocks. The whole island is a big collections of these rocks in different sizes.

Udupi
About 10 Kms from Mangalore, Udupi is a fairly large and upcoming town that was sanctum of Madhvacharya, the great Sanskrit Philosopher. The famous temple here, has a fascinating idol of Lord Krishna that is richly adorned with jewels. The main attraction of this temple is the 'Kanakana Kindi' -a small window through which Krishna is believed to have given darshan to his ardent devotee, Kanakadasa.
