You may be initially drawn by Kundapura’s mesmerizing beauty, but be prepared to have an unforgettable spiritual experience here, as well. The destination is named after Shree Kundeshwara Temple, a wonderful attraction just 1.5 km (0.93 mi) away from the main town. The town is also surrounded by other lovely temples, along with various historical landmarks such as Holy Rosary Church. Blessed with water bodies bordering it, such as the Panchagangavalli River in the north, the Kalaghar River in the east, and the Arabian Sea in the west, Kundapura is also home to beautiful beaches. If you get bored of the town you can always head to nearby Udupi which offers many exciting things to do.

Beach life in Kundapura, India
Kundapura is a peninsular town that doesn’t have any beaches strictly within its borders, however, it is difficult to remove the sea from the identity of this town. Kodi Beach is perhaps the most iconic destination in the area and is within a 15-minute drive from central Kundapura. I would love to just lounge on the shimmering sands of the beautiful beach.
It would be best to avoid a beach vacation in Kundapura during the monsoon, extending from July to September and October to November. Summers are hot and humid, but sunshine is assured. If you want to avoid the heat, you can head to the coast in the winter.

1. Blue Waters (from USD 40)
Blue Waters
Posted by BLUE WATERS on Thursday, April 10, 2014
In the midst of islands that locals deem mystical, Blue Waters is a paradise tucked on the ridge of a secluded peninsula. The resort welcomes children of all ages, who can hang out at the kid’s club, playground, or game room, and I think the resort will be perfect for families.
Guests can play ping pong or take a plunge in the outdoor swimming pool in their free time. There is also a fitness center for those looking to keep up with their workout routines. While here, you can also treat yourself to meals at the on-site restaurant, Spice Cube, which offers not only Indian cuisine but also specialties from Italy and some Asian countries.
The resort is located just 3.7 km (2.30 mi) away from Kodi Beach and is right on the banks of the Panchagangavali River.
