From the Banks of Tunga to the Heights of Kavaledurga in Thirthahalli
"In the heart of the Malnad, time doesn't follow a clock; it follows the flow of the Tunga River and the rustle of the areca palms. Thirthahalli is more than just a stopover on the way to the coast—it is a sanctuary where the literary heritage of Kuppalli meets the rugged, emerald ruins of Kavaledurga Fort. Whether you are standing on the mist-covered stone steps of the Rama Kundu or trekking through 9th-century fortifications being reclaimed by the jungle, this is a place that demands you slow down. Join me as I navigate the winding estate roads, savour the spice of authentic Malnad cuisine, and rediscover the quiet magic of Karnataka’s most soulful hill station."
