Shishila , an ideal place for a destressing getaway. Located near dense forests a few hours from Mangalore it's a calm, cool place with good view, nice whether(october) and peaceful people.  |

| Away from the hustle and bustle, listening to the chirping birds |

| "Bayalu Ganesha" meaning open-field Ganesha. A story goes saying that a devotee had a dream of Lord Ganesha , who instructed him to construct a temple as a mark of his great devotion, in their honour, laying down a condition that if he were to build a roof overhead, the roof-top tower would have to be visible to one from Kashi(Varanasi) and that it would have to be built in a day |
