Around Kumta

Beaches, forts and forest - all close by.

Kumta Beach

A long, open beach a few minutes from the house - perfect for evening walks.

Quiet sands, fishing boats and some of the best sunsets in town.

About 30 minutes away - Om Beach, Kudle Beach and the Mahabaleshwar Temple.

Huge black limestone peaks rising out of the forest. A memorable half-day trip.

A moss-covered 16th-century fort with deep wells and quiet corridors.

A hidden waterfall in the Western Ghats - best after the monsoon.

Boat rides past mangroves and small islands on the Sharavathi river.

The giant Shiva statue by the sea, an easy day trip south.
