Murdeshwar

Yesterday, me(extreme left) and my friends (from L-R: Souveer,Nitin,Aseem,Krishna,Santosh and Chox) went to murudeshwar. Located on the main Mangalore-Karwar highway, Murudeshwar is sandwiched between the picturesque Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. Its main attractions are its beach, the awesome Shiva statue and the famous Shiva Temple built on a hillock which offers a magnificent view of the sea. The gigantic statue of Lord Shiva overlooking Murudeshwar entices tourists every day. The sea surrounds the temple on three sides, a fabulous site to watch.
Situated 110 kms from Manipal,nearly two-and-half hour drive along the coast. The drive along the coast was an equally enthraling one. Along the way, near Turtle bay beach resort, which is 12 kms from Kundapur, the highway almost converges with the sea. On one side of the highway, we have the Arabian sea and on the other side we have rivers and backwaters. It was an unbeleivable sight to watch.
We had a nice, peaceful dharshan of Mahabaleshwara. The temple built in the Dravidian style depicting Chalukya and Kadamba sculptures on a hillock has some beautiful carvings and statues. After the dharshan we had our food and spent nearly two hours on the sea shore.
We started from there around 4:00 pm and on the way we again stopped near the Turtle bay beach resort for a panoramic view of the arabian sea, glimmering and shining with beauty. The enthralling beauty did not allow us to move from that place for another half-an-hour. We draggfed ourselves from the sea shore and reached Manipal around 6:00 pm.
This is a one of the series of trips we had planned in the next one month, before we leave the Oxford of the East. Bookmark this site to know more about another tourist attraction of the region......very soon.
