'''Karnire''' is a [[panchayat town]] located at [[Mangalore taluk]] in [[Dakshina Kannada district]] in the Indian [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Karnataka]]. It is on the banks of [[Shambhavi River]]. It is next to the small village of [[Kavathar]], [[Balkunje]]. Its nearest town is [[Palimar]] in [[Udupi District]].

==Geography==
It has an average elevation of 24 metres.
It is in the [[Kanara|Karavalli]] region of [[karnataka]], where it is suitable for agriculture and building factories. It is next to the River Shambhavi, which originates from [[kudremukh]] and ends at mulki with the [[Arabian Sea]].

==Agriculture==
The major crops grown are paddy and sugar cane along with neighbouring villages like Balkunje and palimar.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=1121864|title=Mangaluru: Balkunje supplies sugarcane for Ganesh Chaturthi to both DK, Udupi districts|website=daijiworld.com}}</ref>

==Transport==
[[File:Palimar Bridge.jpg|thumb|center|Palimar Shambhavi River Bridge]]
The town is well connected by roads to [[Palimar]], [[Padubidri]], [[Bajpe]], [[Kateel]],[[Balkunje]] and [[Kinnigoli]] by district road. But due to aging structure of the bridge between Balkunje and Palimar, it is closed for heavy vehicles and private buses. Buses used to ply from Karnire to Palimar and Padubidri and Adve(kinnigolli-palimar or padubidri route). But due to bridge closing towards Palimar buses ply from Balkunje or either Karnire to towns like Kinnigoli and Kateel.

The nearest airport to this town is [[Mangalore International Airport]], which is around 30 km from the village.

Although the nearest railway station is [[Nandikoor railway station]], people prefer to go at [[Mulki railway station]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/konkan-railway-announce-running-of-special-trains/articleshow/109538300.cms|title=Konkan Railway announce running of special trains|work=The Times of India |date=23 April 2024|via=The Economic Times - The Times of India}}</ref> as it is the nearest station for people to go to various big cities like [[Mumbai]], [[Murudeshwar]], and [[Mangalore]] while Nandikur does not provide access to these cities.
