The spiritually charged, ancient seat of advaita vedanta. The vidyashankara temple is a childhood favorite and the lunchtime meals to pilgrims are always delivious and clean.

An ideal religious place in terms of cleanliness, system, discipline, rich culture and history of Advait vedanta. Highly recommended for not only religious people but also for history lovers. Both Temples- Shree Shardamba and Shree Vidyashankara temples are just amazing. Bhakt nivas arrangement is too good and south indian prasadam (lunch and dinner) is super delicious. . .

I recently drove down to the holy town of Sringeri in Karnataka. My drive started from Manipal, Udupi. Since I was driving on my own, with family, on this route for the first time, I had several questions in mind. Besides, it was the peak monsoon season and I had been adequately warned about the heavy rainfall in the region. I was also fully aware that a significant section of the route was hilly (ghat section). I relied entirely on Google maps. I took two different routes for my to & fro journey. The quality of roads in both directions/routes was quite good (>90%). To start with I took the route via Karkala & Kudremukh to Sringeri. This is longer by about 15 kms. While the route is scenic, one must know that a significant portion of it is single lane and a substantial route through the Kudremukh Reserve Forest. There's minimal habitation and no restaurants once you enter the forest area. The road surface is not an issue & there are no hair pin bends. It took about 2 hrs 20 minutes to get to Sringeri. It's a quaint town and will kept. The temple tower of the Goddess dominates the landscape.. You will have sufficient vegetarian restaurants. Also there's adequate parking space. The temple "complex" has smaller temples within for multiple deities. Once done with darshan, we crossed the footbridge across the sparkling clean, refreshing Tunga river for the darshan of the Acharya. After the darshan we crossed back to the Temple complex to have our meals which is served free for all devotees. The sprawling dining hall is extremely clean and the food was simple but hot. On the return we drove back via Agumbe. This route has more habitate though one needs to negotiate 14 hair pin bends. In rainy season, there are landslides and hence it's important to be aware of blocks before the journey. Fortunately for us, the road has just opened and we were back in Manipal in 2 hours. Apart from the blissful darshan of God & Guru, what stuck me most was the extraordinary beauty of the landscape and the cleanliness in the entire region. If you love driving in nature and are comfortable with hill (ghat) driving, then do make this route part of your "Discovering" this beautiful country of ours!!

One of the peethas established by Adi Shankaracharya, Sringeri is ideal to experience the spiritual energy.

Truly a sacred place to visit, especially the Sharadambal Temple and Shiva Temple. A must place to visit for a fantastic architecture.

We had the good fortune of visiting this place while coming back from Chikmagalur.
We reached just before the temple closure timings in the afternoon. While the Sharadamba temple gave you the peace of mind, the older temple present in the same complex can be termed as a archeological marvel.
The anna prasadam is also good.
The only recommendation would be to ensure the temple remains open throughout the entire day.
Recommended to visit at least once.

Must visit spiritual place. Clean and organized. On the shore of Tunga river in Western Ghats mountsin range. Visit to be in a peaceful positive vibe. Temples are ancient, well preserved. Hygienic Annadaanam (free share of God's food) for thousands. The drive through the Ghat roads, particularly through Agumbe to Kollur is spectacular.

One of the shrines which depict history / architecture nad blessings of Sharada Maa , seat of knowledge. Lot of changes seen after 20+ years . The feeding to fishes from near the river has been abondand. One can walk through the bridge after 10:30 am and drop your Moori. Was very rare to visit any pemple in south india twice within a span of 15 min. Thanks to present situation crown was very thin .

I hired an auto driver to visit all the places in Sringeri, the auto driver names was Nagendra and his number is +919481594370. He showed around the entire town and also took me to Agumbe sunset point and back to Sringeri. He patiently waited outside a restaurant for me, while I had food. He politely rejected my offer to have food with me and did not complain once about getting late or having to get back to sringeri. We came to an arrangement before we started the trip I negotiated the price but then gave extra as his driving was smooth and comfortable. I have taken his permission to update his mobile number. I recommend all to visit all the places, four direction four temples, (Jain temple excluded near Agumbe, extra charge just for this.) and enjoy your stay in the Holy place of sringeri.

Yes they allow. It is a wonderful place to visit.
But the food is served in proper south indian style. People need to sit on the ground. Those who are not used to it might find it difficult.
