Start your trip with a stunning view of the Arabian Sea at Kapu Beach, a popular destination for locals. You can take a dip in the sea or watch the fishermen bringing in their daily catch. There are also a few shacks selling fresh seafood. Spend a relaxing afternoon watching the waves and enjoying the sea breeze.
Get lost in the lush greenery surrounding Kudlu Falls. This hidden gem is located deep inside a forest and is perfect for nature lovers. You can hike to the waterfall or even take a swim in the natural pool. Keep in mind that the hike to the falls can be challenging for some, so wear proper footwear and carry enough water for the trek.
Take a ferry from Malpe Beach to the St. Mary's Island, a group of four small, but visually pleasing islands. The islands boast stunning views and crystal clear water, making it perfect for a day trip. You can relax on the beach while soaking up the sun or take a dip in the sea. Make sure you carry your own food and water; there are no eateries on the island.
End your trip on a good note at Kodi Beach, known for its scenic beauty. This secluded beach is untouched by any commercial development, making it perfect for a serene experience. You can take a stroll along the beach or enjoy the sunset while sipping on coconut water. Keep in mind that the beach is unsafe for swimming.
If you have more time, you can visit the Malpe Beach and indulge in some water activities like banana boat rides. You can also visit the famous Udupi Sri Krishna Temple. If you have less time, skipping Kudlu Falls is advisable since it is a bit off-road and requires a lot of time and effort. Carry comfortable clothes and footwear, sunscreen and insect repellent. Lastly, make sure you check the weather conditions before you depart since there are chances of heavy rainfall.
