MARAVANTHAE
Picture yourself driving on the hHighway (#17) with the turbulent
Arabian Sea on one side and the calmly flowing Sauparnika river
on the other. It happens to be evening and the majestic Kodachadri
Hills form an impressive backdrop.
You can feel the soft gentle breeze and hear the gurgling waves.
And then... you are witness to a sunset over the sea. The crimson
sun, the darkening sea, and the golden sand all connive together
to put on a spectacular show just for you! What are you waiting
for?!

at Gokarna.
A Fort renovated by Tipu Sultan, and another shrine of Jattiga
on a horse will round off the trip nicely.
