Places to visit

• Mirjan Fort : In the district of Uttara Kannada in the Karnataka state of southern India, the Mirjan Fort is situated on the west coast. Mirjan fort is 55.5 kilometers away from Binga. Numerous historical fights took place at the fort, which is renowned for its elegant architectural design. The Mirjan Fort was previously attributed to Rani Chennabhairadevi of Gersoppa in the 16th century (under the Vijayanagara Empire). She governed for 54 years while residing in the fort. Pepper, saltpetre, and betel nuts were transported to Surat during her rule via the port of Mirjan, which is situated 32 kilometres (20 miles) south of Karwar. The pepper that was exported from Gersoppa, a district that was annexed to Bednur, was well-known. As a result, the Portuguese dubbed the Queen of Gersoppa "Rani, the Pepper Queen" (or "Rainha de Pimenta" in Portuguese).
• Apsarakonda Waterfalls : Apsarakonda waterfalls are 99.5 kilometers away from Binga.Families and children can enjoy the waterfall area because it is not too deep. However, as this is one of the most well-known waterfalls in the area and visitors are aware they may come here and take a bath, expect to encounter massive crowds the most of the time.
