Explore Sri Krishna Matha, serene shores and historic lighthouses while meeting local weavers and learning about the iconic Udupi saree. This 3N/4D Udupi & Udupi Saree Tour offers an immersive yet relaxed short break.
Depart Mangalore by road, approximately 60 to 65 km and 1 to 1.5 hours via NH66. Check in at your hotel by early afternoon. Visit Sri Krishna Matha, founded by the 13th-century Vaishnavite saint Madhvacharya, along with the adjoining Anantheshwara Temple. In the evening, head to Malpe Beach for a walk along the shore and sunset over the Arabian Sea. Overnight stay in Udupi.
After an early breakfast, take the ferry from Malpe harbour to St. Mary’s Island, known for its distinctive hexagonal basalt rock formations, seasonal and weather permitting. Return by late morning, then spend the afternoon in Manipal, visiting End Point and the Coin Museum. In the evening, visit Kaup Beach and its 1901 lighthouse. Overnight stay in Udupi.
After breakfast, visit a local weaver cooperative or society, arranged through a local contact, ideally connected to one of the region’s known revival initiatives, to see the Udupi saree woven on traditional Malabar Frame looms, introduced to this coast by German Basel Mission weavers in the 19th century. Watch the distinctive warp-starching technique that gives the fabric its crisp finish, and browse genuine handloom pieces, plain or checked cotton bodies with a contrasting, often darker pallu and border. Overnight stay in Udupi.
After a relaxed breakfast, a final morning for any saree shopping or a last walk down Ratha Beedi. Check out and depart on the return drive to Mangalore, arriving by early afternoon.

As someone interested in Indian textiles and traditional crafts, the Udupi Saree weaving trail was the reason I chose this tour, and it became my favourite part of the journey. Seeing the loom, understanding the weaving process and browsing authentic handloom sarees directly in the region made the experience feel much more meaningful than ordinary shopping. Ocean6 Holidays also included Udupi’s major attractions such as Sri Krishna Matha, Malpe, St. Mary’s Island and Kaup, so the trip never felt focused on just one theme. I would especially recommend this itinerary to travellers interested in textiles, photography, heritage and slow travel.
Our Udupi trip arranged by Ocean6 Holidays gave us exactly the mix we were looking for: temples, beaches, island scenery and something genuinely local. Sunset at Malpe Beach was lovely, while Kaup Beach and its lighthouse created some of our favourite photographs from the trip. St. Mary’s Island was another standout experience. What made this itinerary different, however, was the Udupi Saree weaving trail. Meeting local craftspeople and seeing traditional handloom weaving up close added a cultural dimension that we would probably have missed travelling independently. Four days felt just right for exploring Udupi without making the holiday hectic.
