Located 8kms from Moodabidri and around 43kms from Mangalore on the Naravi
road is a pair of large granite monoliths called Konaje Kallu. The twin
peaks of Konaje Kallu is a trekkers paradise which can be seen from the
Arabian Sea en route from Bombay to Mangalore. During ancient days, Konaje
Kallu were commonly known as 'Ass's Ears' by the erstwhile British rulers.
The forest area surrounding the place is the home to variety of wild animals
and birds. There is a rock cave in the interior of the forest area, which
were used by ancient ascetics. Many pre-historic stone-age structures
have also been found here.
