For the last two days, around Dandeli, we have paid ₹100 per head for lunch or dinner buffet. The most we have paid is ₹250, for a little more elaborate affair.
The kids are flabbergasted. How is that even possible in a tourist area? We paid ₹1500 for lunch while leaving Goa, something they've come to expect. How did the price fall so much?
Cheap, yet healthy and delicious meals are something that everyone just takes for granted in Karnataka, I guess. Uttara Kannada sets a good model for affordable nature tourism.
Edit: I'd also quipped something along the lines of "The people who go about setting up Udupi restaurants all over the world have ubiquitous cheap meals in their own state. Not surprising, no."
