Anita Recommends Picture postcard Albi-Ville Posted on June 6, 2018June 6, 2018 Landed in this charming little town yesterday and walked around the cobbled streets on a rainy evening. The town’s main feature is the Saint Cecile cathedral, which is the largest brick cathedral in the world and a UNESCO world heritage building.

Hastha Shilpa in Manipal has many heritage houses restored to their original form from all over Karnataka. Very unique museum I have ever visited. Note this is in Manipal though. Lot of foreign tourists also visit this place. If you are going to Udupi/Manipal spend some time in Manipal campus where you can see students from all over. More info on Udupi/Manipal at Udupipages.com – they even have one day – three day plans. http://www.udupipages.com/travel/place.html Reply
anit 😉 it is karkala not karkal, btw. (though it has nothing to do with ‘car kala’ or ‘car artistry’). enjoyed the nice article as always. thanks, – s.b. Reply
