Tips

If you have an extra day, consider adding a visit to the nearby St. Ruth’s Church and a boat trip to the scenic Kudroli Gokarnath Temple area. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the Mulki day trip and spend more time exploring Mangalore’s markets and beaches, which will also reduce transportation costs.
