History
Honnavar is a port town in Coastal Karnataka known for its beautiful landscapes and rich history. The port hosted foreign traders from the Arab world, as well as later from European countries such as Portugal, England and the Netherlands. In 1342, it was visited by the Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta,[3] where he spoke about their social, economic, religious, cultural, and administrative factors. He describes the Sultan Jamaluddin as one of the best and most powerful rulers.[4]
Portuguese rule
During the Portuguese domination, a fortress was built in the 16th century to protect trade in the Indian Ocean. Later in the 18th century, the English built warehouses at the port.[5]
Transportation
- Rail
The Konkan Railway line passes through Honnavar, and its longest bridge is 2.065 km in length and is in Honnavar, over the Sharavati River.[6]
- Sea
In October 2013 the Karnataka government announced plans to develop a new port at Honnavar, to be funded by a public–private partnership (PPP) model.[7]
