Start your day by visiting the Murudeshwar Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located by the beach. The temple is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on three sides and offers a beautiful view of the ocean. Take a dip in the sea at the Murudeshwar Beach and enjoy the scenic beauty. In the evening, visit the Netrani Island by boat to enjoy water sports and marine life exploration.
Catch a ferry from Malpe Beach to visit the St. Mary's Island and explore the unusual hexagonal rock formations. After the island visit, enjoy lunch at Malpe Beach before heading to the famous Sri Krishna Temple in Udupi, located around 35 minutes (7 km) from Malpe Beach. Take a guided tour of the Temple and end your day with a beautiful view of the sea from the Malu Beach Lighthouse.
Start your day by exploring the lush green Manipal Campus, strolling around the gardens, and enjoying local art installations. Then, head back to Udupi for lunch at the famous Mitai Cafe to taste local delicacies. Next, visit the Udupi Shri Anantheshwara Temple and the Malpe Fish Market. In the evening, head back to the hotel or enjoy a sunset walk on Kapu Beach to end your trip.
If you have more time in Udupi, visit the Manipal Museum of Anatomy and Pathology or take a day trip to Mangalore city to explore the beaches and local markets. If you have less time, you can skip the St. Mary's Island visit or the Manipal Campus tour. Also, budget travelers can skip the Netrani Island trip to save costs.
