karwar can an day be one of the best choice for seaside holiday. So much so, it
is said that the Nobel Laureate Robindranath Tagore was so moved by the
magnificence of the place that it inspired him to wirte his first play. A visit
to this place will make even the least artistic to heave a tremulous sigh.
The gently undulating waves, stretches and streches of golden sands, soothing
green vegetation, thick woods, nestling valleys amidst sky-scraping rugged
hills, all make Karwar a place where even gods would love to gambol.
