Mangalore city and coastline

Mangalore. The City of Universities and Healthcare.

India's #1 safest city. Close to Colombo. Sri Lankan-run.

Why Mangalore

A city most Sri Lankans haven't discovered yet.

Mangalore is a coastal city in South India with a remarkable concentration of world-class hospitals and top-ranked universities. For Sri Lankans, it is close, affordable, culturally familiar, and almost completely unknown.
