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.
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.
