Start the day early and travel to Tannirbhavi Beach in Mangalore, which is a serene and tranquil escape from the city noise. A 3-km coastline of pristine sand surrounded by lush greenery, it's perfect for those who love watersports or just soaking in the scenic beauty. You can indulge in surfing, parasailing, and zorbing, and witness the glorious sunset while enjoying some authentic seafood delicacies at the beach shacks.
Wake up early to visit Panambur Beach. This beach is predominantly known for water activities, such as Jet Ski and Banana ride. Take in the mesmerizing sunrise and spend some time sunbathing. After spending a few hours, head to Pilikula Nisargadhama, an eco-tourism spot filled with adventure and natural beauty. You can explore the botanical gardens, safari park, boating experience, and visit the Manasa Amusement and Water Park. End your day exploring the Pilikula Golf Course, which is a perfect blend of nature and sport.
If you have some extra time on your hands, visit the Udupi Sri Krishna Matha, known for its spirituality and stunning architecture. You can also go trekking at the popular Western Ghats trail. If you have less time, skip the Pilikula Nisargadhama and choose to explore the lesser-known beaches like Kapu, Sasihithlu, and Malpe beach.
