Dos & Don'ts

Do
  • Attend the sunrise yoga session — the cliff views are spectacular
  • Book the Ayurveda session in advance at the resort front desk

  • Carry a light shawl for evenings — sea breeze can be cool
  • Visit the Janardhanaswamy temple (dress modestly)
Don't
  • Don't swim directly below the cliffs — waves are deceptively strong
  • Avoid the busy season (Dec 25–Jan 1) if you prefer quiet retreats
