The city of Mangalore is often proclaimed as the gateway to Karnataka and lies nestled between the blue waters of the Arabian Sea and the green, towering hills of the Western Ghats. The 132.45 square km city is spread out over the backwaters of the two rivers, Netravati and Gurpura.
The first references to this port city date back to the 14th century, when the local rulers established trading ties with the kingdoms in the Persian Gulf. Given its strategic location, Mangalore changed hands several times. The Portuguese, British and the Mysore rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan fought bitter battles in order to claim the city. Its different rulers have left their mark in this charming city and Mangalore is today an amalgamation of various cultures. In addition to this, the city has retained its importance as one of the leading ports in India and handles a major portion of India's coffee and cashew exports.
Karnataka is a complete package for tourists wishing to explore many worlds at one place. The history of this state can be traced back to antiquity and the monuments that are housed here from that era, narrate a thousand tales of the bygone times. Hampi, Halebid, Bangalore, Shravanbelagola, and Mysore are the topmost attractions of this place.
