About this experience
Karkala and Moodabidri are two sleepy towns situated around an hour’s drive from Mangalore in the South Indian state of Karnataka.

This is the largest Jain temple in coastal Karnataka with richly carved pillars and no two pillars in this temple are alike. End your trip with a visit to the local bazaar and a spice plantation in Moodabidri. Highlights • 40 feet tall statue of Lord Bahubali, Karkala • 1000-pillared Jain Temple, Moodabidri • 50 feet high, free-standing monolithic pillar • Spice plantation
