Udupi Krishna Temple & Malpe St Mary’s Island Day Trip
Udupi is one of the great Vaishnava pilgrimage towns, and the Sri Krishna temple here, founded in the 13th century, is also the source of Udupi cuisine — the temple kitchen has fed pilgrims for centuries and produced the restaurant chains. From Malpe harbour, a boat crosses to St Mary’s Island, a geological monument of columnar basalt formed by lava, with a beach and a shell-covered shore.
