About Honnavar
Tranquil Sharavati backwaters, mangrove kayaking and lush coconut-lined rivers. Honnavar is the quiet star of the coast.
Honnavar sits where the Sharavati river meets the Arabian Sea, creating one of Karnataka's most beautiful backwater systems. Kayak through dense mangroves at Mavinkurve, watch the sunset from Apsarakonda Falls, or take a sunset cruise where the sea and sky melt into one. Few crowds, lots of stories.
