Mangalore, an incoherent, green, friendly town which is a perfect location for those who desire a slightly sleepless sort of vacation is situated along the shores of Arabian Sea on the western coast of India. The city could be reached by rail and road and is as eye satisfying as by air with green vistas, dazzling streams gurgling to meet with the sea and as the coast draws nearer, the smell of the salt water gets even stronger.
Mangalore located on a narrow coastal strip is surrounded by the blue Arabian Sea on one side and the soaring Western Ghats on the other and has attracted visitors from all across the globe. The city is known as a tower of Babel, with lot of population crowding the streets. The city is known for the sincerity of its people and natural magnificence. It also has a history of maritime activities.
Being in the tropical region of the country, the city has a tranquil tropical climate, humid and hot during the summer and reasonably cold during the winter. Winter is the best season to visit Mangalore as the humidity during summer makes travelling unpleasant.
History
The name of the city has been given after the famous Mangaladevi temple. This temple, also one of the major attractions of Mangalore is located 3 km away from the city. The Ballal family of Attavar built this temple in the memory of the princess of Kerala. This area doesn’t have a lot of history though you could visit a local museum to know its history.
