4.Tilmati : Beautiful Black Sand Beach in Karnataka
This beach is very clean & unpolluted. Here no crowd; no plastic's, very hygienic & also we can reach very easily, only 15 minutes trekking itself. After crossing one small stream we climbed two three small mountains & we saw this spectacular black sand beach.
Generally, the sand becomes black when it originates from a volcanic irruption. This small beach is set among lava cliffs and the sand is actually small, smooth, lava pebbles.
