Begin your exploration of Udupi by visiting the famous Sri Krishna Temple that dates back to the 13th century. Dedicated to Lord Krishna, it is known for its unique temple architecture and is one of the most significant pilgrimage centers in South India. Witness the morning prayers and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Also, don't forget to relish the delicious prasadam served here.
After your spiritual experience at the temple, head towards the beautiful Malpe Beach. Its serene environment and scenic beauty will leave you spellbound. Take a stroll along the calm waters or relax on the sandy beach as you watch the sunset. You can also indulge in water sports activities like parasailing, jet skiing, and boat rides.
Discover the fascinating geological wonder - St. Mary's Island. The distinctive basaltic rock formations on the island resemble a miniature version of the Giant's Causeway. You can take a boat ride from Malpe Beach to the island and explore its unique flora and fauna. Swim in the crystalline waters of the beach or bask in the sun on the soft sand, and take in the stunning views.
End your Udupi experience by exploring its local market. Known for its spices, silk saris, and snacks, the market is a treasure trove for shopaholics. Take a leisurely stroll and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the market. Satisfy your taste buds by devouring local delicacies like 'Maddur Vada' and 'Kotte Kadubu.'
If you have more time, you can visit places like Anantheshwar Temple, Manipal End Point, and Kaup Beach too. If you have less time, you can remove the market visit or shorten the beach visits. For foodies, Udupi offers a range of delicious vegetarian cuisine like Masala Dosa and Idli which you must try. Do carry an umbrella or raincoat as June might have rains, and take extra care around the rocky terrain on St. Mary's Island.
