Our Origin Story

From a Local's Frustration to a Region's Solution

It started with a simple question: “Where is the best place to get authentic Mangalorean fish curry near Hampankatta?” The answer involved calling five different people and still not being sure.

We realised that despite having some of the most vibrant local businesses, extraordinary temples, world-class hospitals, and stunning sightseeing spots — the Tulunadu region had no single trusted place to find them all.

So we built one. Tuluva is Tulunadu’s first dedicated local listing directory — covering all 13 essential categories across Udupi, Mangalore, and Kasaragod districts. Every listing is personally reviewed by our local team to ensure accuracy and trustworthiness.

Today, Tuluva connects thousands of locals with the businesses, services, and places that make this region extraordinary.
