Mangalore district is a panorama of palm-fringed
beaches,lush green fields and enchanting forests. It is sheltered by the
soaring western ghats on the east and the mighty Arabian sea roaring along
its western shores.With an important port,this coastal town is a major
commercial centre.The lifeline of the district, the National Highway No 17
almost runs parallel to the sea for over 95 kms in the district. Nowhere
does the distance between the highway and the sea exceed more than a few
kilometers.
Mangalore,the district headquarters, has a long
history of maritime trade. Though developed as a business and commercial
centres Mangalore still retains its old world charm-old tile-roofed
buildings amidst coconut groves, fishing boats silhouetted against the
darkening skyline, fishermen hauling in rich catch of fish,sea food served
in spicy coconut curries. Mangalore is a remainder of the good times of
life. The district offers a wide range of interesting places for both
pilgrimage and pleasure tourists such as Dharmasthala, Subramanya, Kollur,
Udupi, Karkala,
Venoor and Moodabidri.
