Why to visit Hippie Island
Hippie Island (Virupapur Gadde) is noted for its laid-back atmosphere and lodges and is an epitome of scenic beauty. It has shacks and cafes that are open from the end of October until the middle of March. They provide delicious meals and cold beer, and the most of them have a magnificent view of the river or the lovely rice fields. Many of these cafes also function as guest homes, where you can get modest accommodations at low prices. Away from the luxuries of life, in little huts, savouring the flavours of both Indian and Western cuisine, and laying on the banks of the river, you will build a strong attachment to the location.
