About Summersand Beach Resort.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. To all dearest friends studying in India. 

Some might be giving a lot of thought about entering 

themselves into SEMPOI CAMP 2011. Well, here some points 

to help you with your decision...

1) Where is Summersand Beach Resort???

Nearest City

Mangalore is the closest City to the north - 10 kms away 

across the River Nethravathi

Transport

Air: Currently there are daily flights to Mumbai, 

Bangalore, Chennai (with a stop in Bangalore), Goa, 
Kochi and Calicut in the domestic segment and 
weekly/bi-weekly flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat 
(Oman), Doha (Qatar) and Bahrain in the international segment.

(Bajpe Airport - 30 kms from Summer Sands and 20 kms 

from Mangalore city.)

Bajpe airport is the only one in Mangalore. After picking up 

your luggages, an attendant will approach you to carry 
your bag into your transport. But ooppps!!!, they are not 
for free. You have to give some tips. 50 rupees will do.
If you want to give extra tips, then it`s your choice. If you 
you want to save your money, carry your own bag.

From airport, there will be a prepaid taxi counter just before 

the exit. You may purchase a ticket from the counter 
stating your destination to the cashier. He will count the km, 
and tell the price. As far as we know, journey from airport 
to Balmata road only took us 30 t0 40 minutes, about 500 
rupess for a non AC taxi. So we guess journey to 
Summersand Beach Resort ,Ullal will be around 500 to 
600 rupees.

Any participants going by plane and need some assistance, 

kindly approach our Team members.
