Udyavara is an ancient port village located 5 km south of Udupi in the Indian state of Karnataka. This town is a regional marine industry and fisheries hub. Fish meal products and fish oils from village Pithrody in Udyavara are exported all across the globe.
Udyavara is gradually becoming a Udupi suburb. National Highway 17, now NH 66, passes through the village.
The river Papanashini flows from east to west and turns north to separate Udyavara and Malpe. The river hosts several islets and its waters are navigable.Illegal sand extraction(mining) is causing damage to the flow of river and its environs.
