It was an undecided trip to Karkala. We were 4 friends (Milan, Vasudev, Gururaj (Cameraman), Myself Praveena) started @ 8 o'clock in the morning from Invenger towers Kottara. Its an 1hour 20 minutes journey through Suratkal, Mulki, Padubidri and Nitte.
There are many buses going to karkala from Mangalore.
First place we can have a look is NITK Suratkal.

Then comes Mulki. Its the Panchyat town near the banks of Shambavi river. Then moved further and reached Padubidri, a small town.

From There we took right diversion to Karkala.
Moving further will get a small village called Nandikur(ನಂದಿಕೂರು), where the Nagarjuna power project is being constructing even there is a rapid opposition from environmentalists.

On the way we can look into Suzlon Wind Project. But getting entry inside is quite difficult.

Going forward we get NMAMIT Nitte. It houses many educational institutes.

Finally we reached Karkala. We had breakfast in Vasudev's house. Then we started our walk to temple, then to Manasthamba in Hiriyangadi.



Moving ahead we entered Parpale forest (ಪರ್ಪಲೇ ಗುಡ್ಡೆ), in which wonderful caves are there.

 At last we got bus back to Mangalore.
It was a very good experience. Its just 62Km from Mangalore, a journey of about 1hour, 20minutes.
Thanks for all my friends for being with me...
Enjoy...
