Spend an evening at Kaup Beach and you will never regret it.


In today’s world, where life has gotten busy and no time to spare, one should definitely clear his or her schedule to make time to visit the Kaup Beach. This is not just an ordinary beach that one visits. Not only does it have Rocks where one can sit and climb and click snaps, but it has one of the most beautiful Lighthouse that is open to everybody to visit. The Kaup lighthouse is unlike the other lighthouses that is closed sometimes and sits there only for a show like a monument. It is open for the public to visit. If one must go then the best time to go is in the evening just before the sunset so that you reach all the way up there and enjoy the beautiful setting of the sun from a height.

Kaup beach more locally called and pronounced as “Kapu” is situated in the Udupi District of Karnataka. It is easily accessible for those visiting Mangalore or Udupi and the the coastal areas along the stretch.  As you can see in the pictures, this place has a beautiful scenery with a never ending sea with rocks emerging in the middle of the sea. No doubt this beach is dangerous for one to swim, but if one wants some peace, quite and tranquillity and just have a nice time with some good company then this is the place.
In today’s world where selfie’s are a must, Kaup beach is one that only provides a great place for selfie’s but one that provides great memories too. Though the beach is a place where a large number of tourists visit, the beach is not crowded like those of the beaches of Goa. If one is ready for adventure, and not scared of heights then definitely one should climb the beautiful lighthouse that is situated on the rocks. A lot of steep steps to climb but its worth the climb.

One has to climb the steps through the rocks in order to reach the entrance of the lighthouse. once at the entrance a minimum fee of Rs 10 should be payed in order to reach the top. The One of the climb around 150 steep steps that is enough only for one to pass through. Steps encircle the lighthouse until one reaches the top. All this is done barefoot since it is a precautionary measure that is taken so that no one slips and falls since it is quite at a height. There is constant security at the beach monitoring the actions of the people visiting in order to keep them safe.

Once you are at the top, you can spend as much of time as you want. You can see the whole stretch of the Kaup beach with people that look like ant figures. The greenery is a another plus point adding to the scenery of the place. It is one of the cleanest beaches compared to those of the other beaches in the Udupi district. If you make a trip there I am sure you won’t regret it and it will be one of the most beautiful memories of your life.

But there are people who enjoy this stage of life too. A good example of this is Nazareth Niwas, a home for the elderly. Nazareth Niwas is a beautiful home for the aged. It is situated in Bondel, Manga luru.

Goa is in my Mind, Have you been there?

Goa is a place where every guy would want to visit in his lifetime as an Indian. So whenever you hear Goa, there is so much excitement and anticipation. Well, I got the exposure to it. F inally , I made a visit to Goa and stayed there for two days. Let me give you a brief insight about my experience as a new comer to Goa and the incident that has taken place within the span of time. Well to be honest, we planned Goa within 3 days after the internship, so by evening we started to call everyone to come along but never found any friends to carry with, maybe it was because of financial problems and the adjustment within that span of time. Finally just the three of us were ready to go there at the last moment.   Once everything was settle, I called up my younger brother Razo, saying am going to Goa, his first words   was “buy me a t shirt”, I laugh at him and   told him that I don’t have money. Instead told him the family financial (such a poor brother), He event...
