Presided over by the world’s second largest statue of Shiva, the calm waters of Murdeshwar make for an ideal getaway from city life. Nearby, Netrani Island, just off the shore, is a popular diving site where you’ll be able to spot coral, eels, parrot fish and other underwater beauties. Mid-range and basic hotels can be found easily here.
