Discover the Hidden Gems of Kundapura - A Notch Above Goa
While Goa may be the quintessential beach paradise of India, the coastal town of Kundapura in Karnataka offers a tranquil and untouched alternative that’s a notch above the rest. Kundapura boasts a treasure trove of virgin beaches that remain largely unexplored, providing a serene escape from the crowds. Sink your toes into the soft, golden sand of beaches like Binaga, Maravanthe, Beejadi and Kodi Bengre, where the only sound that accompanies you is the gentle lapping of the waves.
Venture inland, and you’ll be enchanted by the verdant, rolling hills that seem to stretch endlessly. Hike through dense, misty forests, past cascading waterfalls, and up to breathtaking viewpoints that offer panoramic vistas of the Arabian Sea. The Maravanthe Beach-Kodachadri Hills circuit is a particular highlight, with its stunning natural beauty and diverse wildlife.
Unlike the bustling, commercialized beaches of Goa, Kundapura’s coastline and hinterland offer a serene and authentic experience, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions. Explore the quaint fishing villages, indulge in fresh seafood delicacies, and witness the age-old practices of the coastal communities.
So, if you’re seeking a tropical escape that’s a step above the ordinary, look no further than the hidden gems of Kundapura. Unlock a world of untouched beaches, enchanting mountains, and a pace of life that’s truly a notch better than Goa.
