Murudeshwar Beach

A beachside pilgrim town, Murudeshwar is known for having the world's second tallest statue of Lord Shiva. With hills on one side and the blue Arabian waters on the other, it's the perfect escape from your daily life. At the city, there's plenty to explore - there's the Netrani island, scuba diving options and a bustling market to shop from! Located about 488 km from Bangalore, you can head here by bus or catch a train to Belgaum and then change to Murudeshwar from there.
