Kukke Subramanya temple on the highway towards Bangalore.
Dharmasthala and Kukke are two places of religious interest which are around 4 hours journey by bus from Manipal.
great blog, very well written and informative. I went to Kukke Subramanya recently and stayed at Seshnaag Ashreya hotel, they had good service. I’ve written a fuller account of my experiences here: http://kukkesubramanya-altruist.blogspot.com/ hope it can be useful to someone.
Thank you both of you for giving us the information. We plan to visit next month.
