💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in government-run beach resorts or small family-run guesthouses (₹800-1500/night) instead of branded hotels to save 40-50% and get authentic local experiences
📅 October to February is ideal when temperatures range from 20-30°C with pleasant weather perfect for beach activities and temple visits. Avoid May-September monsoon season when heavy rains make travel challenging, though the landscape becomes lush and green.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa to visit Kumta as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
