Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
The writer along with his spouse and 13-year son, had been on a trip to Dakshina Kannada. With the help of information from internet, colleagues, and newspapers, short-listed the places to be covered. Reached Mangalore by train from Secunderabad, and at the end of trip took train from Hubli to Secunderabad. Mangalore Railway Station itself is a tourist attraction depicting early-British look. Its old grandeur is untouched. With the help of a car spared by my friend, which was very well driven by chauffeur Manjunath, our journey commenced from Mangalore and safely ended at Hubli.
