The place

Uppala is a town and headquarters of the Manjeshwaram taluk in the Kasaragod district, Kerala, India. It is geographically located midway from Kasaragod to Mangalore. Easy geographical access and lack of major towns nearby are the key reasons for the town to develop exponentially, especially in the past decade. Uppala is 22 km north of Kasaragod and one of the fastest-growing urban settlements in the Kasaragod district. It is well-known as an important trade hub in the northernmost part of Kerala state.
