About Mulki

Welcome to Mulki

Mulki is a small, beautiful coastal town in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka, India. Situated about 25 km north of Mangalore, it lies at the confluence of the Shambhavi River and the Arabian Sea — making it a unique destination for both water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers.

While Mulki has been home to fishing communities for centuries, it gained global attention as one of India's finest surfing destinations. The consistent waves, warm water, and uncrowded beach make it ideal for surfers of all levels.

Why Mulki is Special

• One of India's top surfing spots with year-round waves
• The Shambhavi River estuary is perfect for kayaking and backwater exploration
• Rich in culture — ancient temples, local festivals, and Tulu traditions
• Unspoiled coastline with clean beaches and coconut groves
• Just 25 km from Mangalore city with good road connectivity
• Gateway to Udupi, Dharmasthala, Kateel and other pilgrimage sites

Best Time to Visit

Mulki can be visited throughout the year. The surf season runs from June to September (monsoon swells) and October to February (clean waves, pleasant weather). Summer (March–May) is quieter and great for kayaking and family visits.

Local Culture & Food

Mulki is rooted in the Tulu-speaking coastal Karnataka culture. Local cuisine is a highlight — Neer Dosa, Fish Curry, Goli Baje, and fresh seafood are must-tries. The region celebrates festivals like Kambala (buffalo racing) and Yakshagana (traditional theatre) which are deeply woven into daily life.
