Karavali Malenadu Tourism Association
Where the coast rises
into the wild.
A regional platform for visible, responsible and collaborative tourism across Karavali and Malenadu.
Coast to highlands
From Arabian Sea.
To Western Ghats.
Along Karnataka’s western edge, beaches and harbours give way to river valleys, rainforests and mountain country. KMTA connects the people and businesses shaping these destinations.
