About this tour

A Spiritual Journey Through Coastal Karnataka

Combine a visit to the sacred Kollur Mookambika Temple with Murudeshwara's coastal temple complex and selected nearby sightseeing places.

Kollur is home to Sri Mookambika Temple, an important pilgrimage destination set amid the greenery of the Western Ghats. Murudeshwara is known for its Shiva statue, temple complex and views of the Arabian Sea. Together, these places make a memorable short trip for families, devotees and travellers exploring coastal Karnataka.

This package provides a suggested two-day itinerary. The exact route, sightseeing stops, vehicle and travel schedule can be discussed according to your requirements.

Planning tip: If your main priority is temple darshan, allow enough time for queues and temple rituals. Kodachadri and other longer excursions are best planned as extensions rather than rushed into the same two-day schedule.
