quaint houses with terracotta tiled roofs, temples and churches.Sheltered by the soaring Western Ghats on the east and bordered by the blue waters of the Arabian Sea, Dakshina Kannada is blessed with abundant rainfall, fertile soil and lush vegetation. Pristine beaches,

picturesque mountain ranges, temple towns and a rich culture make it a sought after tourist destination. Dakshina Kannada is well known for Yakshagana- a fabulous costumed dance drama,

Kambala- the sport of buffalo racing by farmers, Kori-katta (Cock Fight) and Bootha Kola.
