Where to Base
Due to limited hotel resources, advance booking is recommended. The town center is the primary accommodation area, convenient for accessing local markets. Accommodation in surrounding villages is scarce, suitable only for travelers seeking deep rural experiences.
Getting Around
No airport. The nearest major airports are in Bangalore or Mangalore, requiring several hours by road. Local transport relies on taxis or hired cars, as public transportation is underdeveloped.
Best Season
October to March offers pleasant weather, ideal for travel. Summers are hot and humid, while the monsoon season can make roads muddy. Avoiding the monsoon ensures a more comfortable experience.
