Safeguarded by the taking off Western Ghats on the east and lined by the blue waters of the Arabian Sea on the west, Dakshina Kannada is regarded with abundant precipitation, productive soil and extravagant vegetation. Wonderful coastlines, lovely mountain scopes, safe-havens and a rich culture make it a sought after traveler area.
Dakshina Kannada is outstanding for Yakshagana-a dumbfounding costumed dance sensation structure, Kambala-the round of buffalo running by farmers, Kori-katta(Cock Fight) and Bootha Kola (Spirit love).
Tracked down 347 Kms. from Bengaluru on the coast, Mangaluru, the locale base camp of Dakshina Kannada, has been a trading place for years and years.
It was, from the early season of the Christian time till the completion of the fourteenth hundred years, the capital of the Alup Rulers. From the fourteenth to the sixteenth many years the area went under the organization of the Vijayanagar custom.
In any case, the most grounded influence was that of the Portuguese, who made an appearance on the coast in the fifteenth hundred years. They opened a plant for trade and conveyed with them the Roman Catholic religion too.
Vanquished by Haider Ali in 1763, Mangaluru transformed into the fundamental port of Mysore. Exactly when Tipu Sultan's Fort fell in 1799 to the British, they made it the headquarters of Kanara.
With a critical port, this waterfront town has gotten a clamoring business center. Anyway it holds its old world allure, with its slight winding streets, lined with coconut palms, inquisitive houses with ceramic tiled roofs, asylums and sanctuaries.
