On days when the weather is not ideal for the beach, or when you simply feel like doing something a little different, a cultural excursion to a place off the beaten track like a visit to the charming 16th century Mallikarjun Temple can be very enjoyable. The temple is tucked into a valley and surrounded by mountains, making for a good change of scenery. Two economy choices within a 6-kilometre radius of the temple are the Roundcube Patnem Beach hotel and Shawnel’s Beach Resort hotel. Visit our Canacona page for the latest deals!
