Geography

[edit]

Adyar is situated on the north bank of the Netravati River approximately 10km to the east of central Mangalore.

Adyar is north-west of the Pavoor Uliya island, which it is connected to via a footbridge. The footbridge is closed during monsoon season. Other local sites of interest include the Adyar Falls, a series of waterfalls.

The 520m Harekala-Adyar road bridge was completed in April 2023, connecting Adyar to Harekala on the south side of the Netravati River and providing a source of water supply to the Mangalore region.[1]

National Highway 73 runs through Adyar.
