Gurupura Nisargadhama Resort, Pilikula
That quiet place in the hills.

‘Pilikula’ is a Tulu word formed by combining ‘pili’ (tiger) and ‘kula’ (pond). Local legends talk of wild, free-spirited tigers that once roamed the area and often came to a watering hole nearby. The territory around it came to be known as Pilikula.

The Gurupura Nisargadhama Resort rests on a beautiful hillock here looking out over the calm and serene Gurupura River, the dense acacia plantations and coconut groves. Mornings here are wrapped in a quiet mist, which soon evanesce to reveal the distant hills, buried amid a trail of clouds, reaching out to the skies. Regular cloud bursts hurl down water over the entire region, leaving behind a wake of purity and fresh green everywhere.

For those who prefer a lazy, idle holiday, the Gurupura Nisargadhama Resort is the right place to unwind and relax the senses. For the others who hunger for a taste of adventure, the Pilikula Nisargadhama – an exquisite showcase of the natural heritage and culture of the Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka – is a worthwhile expedition.

The resort is located in the village of Moodushedde, a little less than 15 km away from Mangalore, near enough to be accessible from the city within an hour, yet far from the hubbub of city-life and its noise. Pilikula provides an invaluable space to step out from urbanity, wind down, and rediscover.
