Geography & terrain
Maravanthe lies in the Udupi district of Karnataka on the coast, 15 km from Kundapur and 100 km from Udupi — the sea-river point of the region, its twin waters, the highway and the viewpoints set on the Arabian Sea's edge.
History & culture
The point's story runs with the coast's road life — the highway stretch of the sea and the river's parallel run (the Soparna river's edge), with the point's modern role as the scenic stop of the Mangalore–Goa coast road and the home of the cottages and the views; the point's history of the coastal villages and the river's mouth, gives Maravanthe its sea-river character.
