Udupi, Nov 10: Tourism activities near Malpe’s scenic Kodibengre have gained fresh momentum following the launch of a new barge service between Hangarakatte and Kodibengre. The service is expected to transform the area into a tourism hotspot in the coming days.

The barge service, which had been operational for over a decade, was suspended several months ago after the old vessel broke down, cutting off direct connectivity between the two locations. This caused major inconvenience to residents and tourists alike. Now, with a new medium-sized barge built at a cost of Rs 5 crore under the department of ports and fisheries, operations have resumed, rekindling tourism prospects in the region.
