On a 90-minute bus ride north of Mangalore lies the small town of Udupi. The town dates back in recorded history to the 13th century with the establishing of Sri Krishna Matha by Sri Madhavacharya, the Vaishanavaite Saint. Since then the town has been popular for its plethora of temples lead by the famous Sri Krishna Temple. It has quite a handful of the famous temples other than Sri Krishna such as the ancient Sri Udupi Anantheshwara Temple that was built in the 8th century A.D. during the rule of the Alupa kingdom.  A biannual festival named Paryaya is held in the Krishna math.

Through most part of the history, Udupi remained a satellite state for the bigger neighbouring kingdoms of Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas and even the Vijayanagara kingdom. It later formed a part of the medieval sultanate of Tipu Sultan. The best tour packages in Udupi offer an interesting sightseeing experience through the heritage villages.

It is widely considered as a vegetarian cousin of Mangalore which is famous for its sea food delicacies.
