This place is an ideal escape from the crowd and to spend some lonely time. Situated in the vicinity of Raja's seat it is normally unnoticed by majority of tourists. The isolated mantap is situated on a moll-hill behind the Madikeri radio station. From the mantap a panaromic view of distant mountains, a part of the city and sunset are best seen. Nature lovers, Poets and artists might find this place worthwhile. There are around 25-30 steps to reach the mantap.

Visit Nehru mantap only if you have plenty of time to spare. It is better for non-nature lovers, children and older generation to avoid this place as they might find it boring and useless. Again, If you are scared of loneliness this is not a place for you! Once you are here please do not litter.
