Honnover is located in the coastal area of Karnataka. It has Arabian Sea in West with paddy fields and plain area.

Honnavar is having limited areas to visit, but still I would suggest you to plan trips to this place. Accomodation is easily available, as there are several hotels and resorts where you can book the room.

Honnavar is also a Taluk of state that means lots of different spots are added in this region. Once you are here you can attain to several other locations and can spend your valuable time.

Sharavati River: A risky but beautiful spot of Honnavar Taluk. Be careful as the flow of the river is high and it joins the booommmm Arabian Sea at Honnavar. Boating is possible here and you can visit the islands created by the Sharavati River at several dots. No worry if you are not having much time to spend, don’t forget to visit Mavinkurva as it is the largest and wonder island of Honnavar.

A rainwater gets stored in the tank and divided in two different tanks Ramathirtha and Laxmanthirtha. According to Myth Lord Rama and Laxmana took bath in this tank during their exile.
