What women travel bloggers wrote on coastal Karnataka

A month ago, I got to meet few of my blogger friends in Udupi. There were here on a FAM trip organized by India Tourism Bengaluru, Dream Holidays Manipal and few other partners and agencies.

Bloggers explored temples in Mangaluru, local cuisine, Yakshagana performance, visit to Malpe beach & Saint Mary's island, trip to Kuduremukha, Kshitija Nesara Dhama & Ottinene beach, Gokarna, Honnavara and Karwar. That was lots of things packed in 1 week and lots of experience to read.

As Udupi is my home town and my blogger friends arrived here to experience the attractions first hand, I was curious to find out what they felt about it. Many of them have written multiple posts over past one month, I've tried to read as many of them as possible and have compiled a list below for your reference, so that you get all first hand experiences about Udupi/Coastal Karnataka in one spot.

Do read them to learn more about the attractions, enrich your knowledge and also to encourage bloggers for giving first hand experience accounts.

Note: 

• This post focuses on only those bloggers who visited Udupi in March 2020 under the FAM. Of course dozens of other bloggers have visited Udupi over time and have written hundreds of posts- that will probably warrant a separate post- like "best blog posts on coastal Karnataka".
• It has been one month, but I am sure some of them have many more blog posts lined up but not yet published. Will try to update this post once a month if they publish newer posts.
• I've only focused on blogposts. Didn't have time to track all other social media updates. You can follow their individual profiles for that.
• I've added nofollow to above links- though I like their blogs and trust them, since this post has too many links, want to avoid being considered as spam.
• If I have missed anyone or any post it is purely an accident, Do let me know, will update.
