Where to base yourself
Which part of Honavar suits you?
Everything is within about 20 minutes of town, but each area feels different.
Kasarkod · Pavinakurve · Apsarakonda
By the sea
Walk to Eco Beach, Tonka or Pavinakurve for sunrise swims and sunsets. Best for beach lovers and families with kids.
Sharavathi River backwaters · Karki lake
On the river & lakes
Wake up to boats, mangroves and herons. Many hosts run their own backwater trips. Best for slow, quiet stays.
Honavar town · near the station
In town & on NH66
Restaurants, ATMs, the bus stand and the boating jetty close by. Best for short stays, train travellers and road trips.
Areca and coconut farms
In the groves
Cottages among palms and spice gardens, a short drive from everything. Best for couples and a proper switch-off.
Choosing where to stay in Honavar
In town you're close to restaurants, the bus stand and the boating jetty on Church Road. Kasarkod, across the river, puts you near Eco Beach, the mangrove boardwalk and Tonka. Karki and Pavinakurve to the north are quieter, with lake and sea views and quick access to the railway station. Apsarakonda to the south suits beach-and-waterfall trips.
Most homestays are family-run and include home-cooked meals on request. If you want a pool, look at Hotel PUMERAI, Aashrayam or River Front. Families and groups often prefer the whole-home rentals at Kasarkod and Karki.
