About The Trip
Located just 186 km from Goa, Honnavar port town stands different in style, culture, and history. While Goa is commercialised and sees tourists flocking from all directions, Honnavar still boasts of traditions sprinkled all over it. It is a quaint town with immense history, varied landscapes, rich culture, and simplicity. On this Honnavar Exploration Trip, you will go on a guided tour to Areca Farm, walk in the Mangrove forest, sightsee Colonel Hill, dip in the beaches, watch the sunset in the backwaters and walk on the Hanging Bridge.
Lying on the bank of the Arabian Sea, this town has attracted and absorbed the culture of different people from countries like Portugal, England and the Netherlands that came here for trade. Apart from the human impact, the natural setting of Mangrove Forest sets the town apart. You will also get to see the Konkan Railway line passing through it.
The town lies at a phenomenal location that forms an estuary: the Arabian Sea at the west and Sharavati River at the south. Agriculture and fishery are evergreen contributors to the economy. Although the Roof Tile industry is declining, it still prospers with beekeeping and Cashew nut processing.
With that being said, this port town is a must-see for it holds so many opportunities for the future. Plan the Unplanned has a particular interest in this port town and would like you to see and experience the same. Read the complete itinerary of the Honnavar Exploration trip for the comprehensive plan and book your tickets at the earliest.

Fill your tummies with lunch (self-sponsored) as you gear up for the rest of the day. We will spend our afternoon at Eco Beach. You can sit here, relax in shacks or dip in the water. There are separate changing and bathing areas for males and females. You can take a shower, wash off the sand and wear spare clothes.
