Day : 4
Route : Udupi-Malpe-Udupi-Kaup-Mulki-Mudbidri-Belthangadi-Dharmasthala
It was very sunny morning and was hot as hell at 8 am in udupi. Reached Malpe at 8.30 am and i knew the boat timings for St.marry's island .
When i entered the beach The beach was almost empty. Enquired if they had stopped the boat ride to island . Since it was a weekday number of tourists visiting the island was very less. So the guy told if there are 10 people atleast he will take us there . It was a long wait of about 45 mins After which I was in the boat heading to St.Marry's island . I was super excited. I had visited Udupi many times before and even Malpe , but had not been to the island .
At Malpe
Island....
Boat struggling to leave the Shore . maybe the front of the boat was too heavy with me sitting in the front.lol
PEACE
Fishing boats returning home.
Approaching land !
Entire Island surface was filled with this

Spot the crab
I was standing on a slippery rock and all of a sudden a big tide came in . It was scary and at the same time exciting . one of the best moments.
I had about 1 hour to roam around the island and at 12.20(after 1 hour )had to return to the pick up point . This place exceeded my expectations. best time to visit the place is early in the morning as the number of tourists will be less. if you want to enjoy the place. Very peaceful it was and the Blue sea , what else can i ask for . Heaven!!!
I roamed about the entire island and got back in time to the pickup point. It will be a awesome place for photography during high tides. Just imagine the tides hitting those rocks !
Thats the one which brought me here.
All set to race
By the time i returned, the Beach(Malpe) was filled with people. I wanted to get into the water but i was alone and it was already late.
I love Maple beach as its always like a carnival here and people just enjoy.
I Started to Kaup from Udupi by 2.15 pm.

This trial leads to the beach
Refreshments
After the Beach I had my lunch at Kaup itself and headed to Dharmasthala. Its the first time i had a Veg thali in a Bar and restaurant as i had to visit the temple later on . I found this hotel right at the Highway and was sick of the heat and decided to enter the place after seeing the board "AC dining hall" . Only after entering in i found it was a Bar and restaurant . Thankfully they had veg food.
Will finish this Tlog in my next post .
Thank you.
