Exploring the land of Kantara - 1
Our trip started with the idea of visiting just one temple called the Moogambikai temple in Kollur, Karnataka. We flew from Chennai to Mangalore via Indigo airlines and took a cab to the hotel which was an hour away from Mangalore International airport. Our stay was in Country Inn & Suites by Radisson group in Manipal. A great place to stay with excellent amenities including their exceptional morning breakfast. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in Manipal. Manipal is a beautiful little city in the interiors of Karnataka. This place is known for the famous Manipal University. The city buzzes with university grads from different places.
