At a Glance
Mangalore is a narrow coastal strip, between the towering Western Ghats and the azure Arabian Sea. The city can often be mistaken for the Tower of Babel, with the sounds of several languages mingling on the peaceful streets.
When to Visit:
The best time to visit Mangalore is between December and February; the humidity levels are at an all time low in these months. Day-time temperatures fall below 30°C and night temperatures fall below 20°C. A hot summer can see temperatures soaring up to 38°C. However, a high relative humidity of more than 90 per cent makes it feel above 40°C. The monsoon season is quick to follow with very heavy rainfall compared to other urban centres in India. Rains measuring up to 4,000 mm fall between June and September.
Orientation & Getting Around:
The state transport system is well maintained and all the nooks and corners of the district can be reached by bus. But the roads are mean and winding, especially the ones that take you up into the hills or down the coastline. If you want to do things your way and at your pace, it's advisable to rent a taxi. A number of auto-rickshaws are also available in the main city area.
