About The Trip

Located just 186 km from Goa, Honnavar port town stands different in style, culture, and history. While Goa is commercialised and sees tourists flocking from all directions, Honnavar still boasts of traditions sprinkled all over it. It is a quaint town with immense history, varied landscapes, rich culture, and simplicity. On this Honnavar Exploration Trip, you will go on a guided tour to Areca Farm, walk in the Mangrove forest, sightsee Colonel Hill, dip in the beaches, watch the sunset in the backwaters and walk on the Hanging Bridge

Lying on the bank of the Arabian Sea, this town has attracted and absorbed the culture of different people from countries like Portugal, England and the Netherlands that came here for trade. Apart from the human impact, the natural setting of Mangrove Forest sets the town apart. You will also get to see the Konkan Railway line passing through it. 

The town lies at a phenomenal location that forms an estuary: the Arabian Sea at the west and Sharavati River at the south. Agriculture and fishery are evergreen contributors to the economy. Although the Roof Tile industry is declining, it still prospers with beekeeping and Cashew nut processing.

With that being said, this port town is a must-see for it holds so many opportunities for the future. Plan the Unplanned has a particular interest in this port town and would like you to see and experience the same. Read the complete itinerary of the Honnavar Exploration trip for the comprehensive plan and book your tickets at the earliest.

    Detail Itinerary



    Details

    An overnight bus journey of 450 km commences from Bangalore to Honnavar. We shall have a brief orientation followed by a fun-filled ice-breaking session where you will get to know your fellow trippers better.




    Details

    Begin your day with a hearty breakfast at the accommodation, setting the tone for a day of natural and cultural exploration. Your first stop will be the Bangara Kusuma Falls, a mesmerizing waterfall nestled in the lush greenery of Honnavar. En route, you'll also encounter two smaller waterfalls, each offering their unique charm and picturesque views.

    Enjoy a packed lunch amid nature before heading to the ancient Jain Basadi. This historic site, set amidst a serene jungle, offers a short yet enriching jungle walk, providing glimpses into the region's spiritual heritage.

    Next, visit the Sharavati Hanging Bridge, a marvel of engineering that spans the Sharavati River. Here, you have the option to enjoy a peaceful 10-minute boating experience (paid separately). As the day winds down, ascend to the Karikana Parameshwari Temple, perched atop a hill, to witness a breathtaking sunset that paints the sky in hues of gold and crimson. Conclude your day with a delicious dinner back at the accommodation.

    The port city of Honnavar is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and the numerous islands that were created when the River Sharavati merged with the Arabian Sea. Other attractions in the region are the spotless Apsara Konda Falls and Kasarkod Beach.

    The best time to visit Honnavar is between October and February.

    The quickest route from Bangalore to Honavar is by plane to the Mangaluru Airport, followed by a cab to Udupi and a bus to Honavar, which takes 7 hours and 40 minutes. Bus to Honavar is the suggested mode of transportation from Bangalore and takes 8h 5m.

    BSNL, Airtel, VI and Jio will have the highest prospects of obtaining a network.
