    Karkala is by itself quite scenic with the blue kuduremukh range in the backdrop. I feel at peace when I am there.

    This govt has only tourism industry in mind and can not think beyond it. Even for tourism the infrastructure is very very poor. First and foremost there is no peace, tranquility, stability and security in the state with frequent protests, Bandhs, violence and unavailability of choice of food and religious security of tourists . This is definitely a NO NO for tourists as for tourism word of mouth is biggest advertisement.
