==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, 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. thumb|281x281px|Image of the Portuguese fort
