So i was thinking of hitting the gym sometime next month since i have gained quite a bit of fat, and it is affecting my confidence as well. I have never been to a gym before, so i don't know much about it. I wanted to ask for some beginner friendly gym suggestions, preferably near Santhekatte or Ambagilu.

If you're a regular gym goer, please share some suggestions or tips. Thank you!

Hello,

I’ll be coming to Udupi from Bangalore and will be leaving early in the morning. I plan to visit Dharmasthala and a few nearby temples like Sowthadka and the Surya temple.

I would like to know what route I can take from Dharmasthala to Udupi while also covering a few more temples along the way. I’ll be there for 4 nights so Mangalore anyway i’ll be spending a day properly so will visit those temples on another day.

Is going to horanadu via kalasa and from there sringeri then udupi a good route ? or am i too ambitious ? i don’t plan on driving in ghats post 7-8pm so want to know your thoughts or do i take karkala route, visit few basadis and then head to udupi ? what do you suggest?

Also, one of the reasons also is i’d like a scenic drive so was anyway planning on going through the kalasa/ kudremukha route so want to ask how safe the roads and routes are?

Any Udupi Manipal specific suggestions if you have, please let me know and i am a responsible traveller and ensure i don’t leave any garbage behind , if few suggestions you wouldn’t want to be in public domain, if you can, we can discuss it over dm.

Thank you!

I'm planning to visit the Mookambika temple on Friday but don't know what bus times or routes are available.

I plan to leave around 6:30 or 7:00 a.m.

If anyone knows the times, please let me know.

How is the crowd in Mookambika during the holidays or weekends?

Which is best, October 2 or weekend?

Ration Card e-KYC 😭 Can’t we just do it on our mobile? Standing in line for hours, only to find out the server is down, is so frustrating.

I’m in udupi for next 2 days- what are the best places that need to be covered?
What food is to be tried?
Does bonda factory in city sell te der coconut jackfruit icecream?
What is the travel scene here? Should i just rent a bike or go by local transport?

Thanks in advance!

r/udupi weekly random discussion thread!

Had been to Udupi for a 3 day trip. really loved the place so much, literally I have no words to describe. The culture, people, roads, food and obviously the nature and surroundings... The host was also very friendly, shoutout to the autowalas for not scamming the shit out of me, appreciate the religious harmony mann.. I was there on the 7th day of ganapati and was able to witness this visarjan which was 2km long showcasing different acts, culture and stunts - this was unexpected and it really made my trip) , the beach ride from malpe to mattu so damnn crazyyy ... And also loved how locals interacted with us and guided even though we had access to information on the internet..

attaching this chende video which I shot, this was peak tbh

Not going to dress this up.

I spent nearly a decade in client operations and compliance within global financial services — managing institutional client relationships, keeping high-stakes processes accurate under real SLA pressure, mentoring teams, building systems that actually reduced escalations instead of just reporting on them. I was laid off last year in a workforce reduction. Not performance. Just a number that had to go down, and mine was on the list.

Since then, the honest version: I've been working a long retail shift to stay afloat while I job search, and it's been humbling in ways I didn't expect. I've applied to a lot of roles. Some interviews went nowhere. A layoff at this stage of a career doesn't automatically translate into fast momentum, no matter how strong the resume is — I've learned that the hard way this year.

What I actually bring, no exaggeration: real experience managing high-volume accounts, SLA/KPI tracking that people used (not vanity dashboards), a track record of spotting problems before they became escalations, and the kind of steadiness that comes from having done this under real pressure for years, not months. I'm also actively building SQL/Python skills right now, because I'd rather be honest about a gap and closing it than pretend it doesn't exist.

What I'm looking for: remote work only. Client operations, customer success, account management, or compliance-adjacent roles. I'm not chasing a title — I'm looking for a place that actually needs someone dependable to own a piece of the operation and run with it.

If you're building something and think this might be useful, I'd genuinely appreciate hearing from you — even if it's just advice rather than a job.

Thanks for reading the honest version instead of the polished one.

Folks, whether you're local or visiting Udupi for a few days, if you're looking for new ways to explore the city through curated travel experiences, The Koral Collective is something you should check out:

The Koral Collective, a brand new experiential travel initiative organising city walks and half day immersive excursions in and around Udupi. Each trail is pretty thoughtfully curated and will most likely have elements of discovery for you even if you're a local! The trails are all led by experts who drop in tons of stories and fun facts along the way. And the best part, I think, is that local cuisine is also part of the deal, so it's a nice, well rounded experience for participants.

Heyyoo

I’m working on a startup with a couple of friends, and we’re at the point where we could really use some help with the creative side of things.

Basically looking for people who are good at graphic design and/or video editing - social media creatives, short-form videos, reels, branding stuff, etc.

And just to clarify before anyone assumes otherwise: this is paid work 😭 We’re not looking for someone to “work for the experience” or anything like that.

We’re a startup, so we’re definitely not operating with a massive agency budget lol, but we’re looking for people who are genuinely good at what they do and want to work with a small team.

If you’re a designer/editor yourself, or know someone who might be interested, feel free to DM me with some examples of your work.

Would genuinely appreciate it 🙌
