Kundapura now offers a new exciting reason for adventure lovers – scuba diving. Having tried scuba diving before in Andaman, I was eager to do it again during our family vacation in Kundapura. The resort staff helped us get in touch with Meridian Adventures. Mr. Vishak Hebbar from Meridian Adventures called and booked our slots for the dive. Since we went on weekdays, we were the only group for the dive. The cost for an individual dive is 3000 INR per person, and it's recommended to book at least a day in advance. We were asked to assemble at 7:30 AM near Meridian Adventures, where they briefed us about the day's plan. They informed us that it would be a half-day event.

In Kundapura, Udupi district, tourists now have a new attraction – a peaceful boat ride through beautiful mangrove forests.

It's a great way for a group of friends or family to enjoy the serene beauty of the backwaters and experience the diverse ec...

We haven't visited the beach in a long time, so we decided to go to Kundapura. We booked a stay at Glucklich Beach Cottages. It's not too crowded right now, making it a great place to enjoy the water and watch the sunset. For water sports and boat rides, we found an option at Kodi Beach, just 8 kilometers away from our cottages.
