Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay by a day to explore the nearby Udupi Museum and the tranquil Udupi Lighthouse. For a shorter trip, focus on the core attractions—Sri Krishna Temple, Malpe Beach, and St. Mary's Islands—and skip the farther beaches, which will still give you a rich taste of Udupi’s heritage and coastal charm.
