Mangala Paade - Historical landmark in Karkala - Udupi, India

Nice rocky hill in small village of kukkundoor. Best place to spend weekend picnic in nature. The trek path is covered with grass in rainy season and difficult to climb in this season. Once you reach top of hill you can enjoy serene beauty of forest from 360 degree angle. You can see several peacocks in the surrounding. There is a Jaina murthi also near the hill.

A place for nature lovers. Plenty of peacocks reside here. Well connected by Road, adjacent to lake Ramasamudra.

Turns out it's beautiful in the evening. And up high if you can climb that is you'll get a to see a splendid view.. A mesmerizing must historical place to visit if you're in karkala. It's just couple miles from main karkala bustand and worth it .

Nice place for a small trek. According to some article I read on internet, the Dharmasthala Bahubali statue was sculpted from Mangala paade. There is a unfinished sculpture here. There were many peacocks when we visited. View from top is awesome.

One of the best place for peace. And calmness do visit and enjoy beauty of the nature

Really good place it's been nearly 2 years I guess adding this place on map and even jain karkala group has protected the area great work

It is located in quite remote area near Bhuvanendra College. It is calm and peaceful location. It is believed that many sculptures and idols were sourced from this place. There's one unfinished sculpture of sitting Baahubali here.

Calm place away from city. I found this piece of sculpture of Mahaveera there amidst the rocks and greens...
