St. Mary's Island ( Malpe, Udupi )

St Mary’s Islands off the coast of Karnataka are four islands of immense geological value. The hexagonal columns of rock on the islands are similar to those on the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland and give clues to historic formation of land masses on the Earth’s surface.


Getting to St. Mary’s Islands


These islands are 6 km out at sea and can be reached by ferry. The nearest harbour to these islands is the fishing harbour at Malpe from where there is a regular ferryservice. The ferry plies between 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and accommodates 30 persons per trip.

Malpe is 58 km North of Mangalore and is well connected to Mangalore by road. Mangalore is the nearest airport besides being a major rail and bus terminus. Malpe is 4 km away from Udupi. Udupi is connected by rail and road to Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, and Mangalore.

There are no accommodation facilities available on St Mary’s Islands. There are several resorts at Malpe and Udupi . Udupi can be used as a base for a day excursion to St Mary’s islands.



Some Facts About the Islands


St Mary’s Islands were named “El Padron de Santa Maria” by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama as a dedication to Mother Mary .Vasco da Gama is supposed to have landed on these islands in the course of his voyage to Calicut. The four largest islands are named Coconut Island, South Island, North Island, and Daryabahadurgarh Island.

Geological studies indicate that these islands were created at the time that Madagascar and Africa separated from India. The rocks are hexagonal in shape, columnar in form, and made of basalt. These rocks provide a convenient vantage point for tourists to catch a glimpse of Malpe harbour and the sunset over the Arabian Sea.

These islands do not have a sandy beach due to the rocks along the shoreline. A large variety of seashells are found along the rocks. Benches have been installednear the shoreline for the benefit of tourists. Apart from coconut palms, there is very little shade. The quality of amenities for tourists is very poor. The traveller should go prepared for the searing sun with caps and bottles of drinking water.

Popular Tourist ActivitiesThe entire island can be trekked across in 90 minutes. Sea shells scattered along the shoreline are interesting to collect and study.

Bird watching is a popular activity on the islands. Commonly spotted birds are Brahminy kites, white and grey egrets, Sandpipers, and seagulls.

Tourists have reported the presence of colonies of butterflies on the island.


Places Around St Mary’s Islands


The Vadabhandeshwara temple dedicated to Balrama was consecrated by Saint Madhwacharya.This spot attracts many pilgrims. The ruins of the Daria Bahadurgarh fort can be seen on the islands. The fort is thought to have been built by Bidanur’s chieftain, Basavappa Naik

Malpe beach is unique in that it has silvery powdered sand and a serene stretch of sea. The coconut palms and colourful sunsets have made this place a popular tourist spot.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Karnataka, the eighth largest state in India, has been ranked as the third most popular state in the country for tourism in 2014. It is home to 507 of the 3600 centrally protected monuments in India, the largest number after Uttar Pradesh. The State Directorate of Archaeology and Museums protects an additional 752 monuments and another 25,000 monuments are yet to receive protection. Tourism centres on the ancient sculptured temples, modern cities, the hill ranges, forests and beaches. Broadly, tourism in Karnataka can be divided into four geographical regions: North Karnataka, the Hill Stations, Coastal Karnataka and South Karnataka.
The Karnataka government has recently introduced The Golden Chariot – a train which connects popular tourist destinations in the state and Goa.
