Kinnigoli is a major suburb in the outskirtsofMangaluru International Airport Tehsil (Mangaluru International Airport Township). It is located approximately 32 km from Mangaluru International Airport City, 5 km from Kateel (a famous Hindu pilgrimage centre), 8 km from Mulki (5 km from Mulki Railway station) and 17 km from the Mangaluru International Airport.

Kinnigoli is well connected by road with buses to all major cities and towns of the region. It is a central market place for surrounding villages like Mundkuru, Ellinje, Aikala, Kallamundkuru , Muchuru, Neerude, Kateel, Delantabettu, Nadugoodu, Attur, Panja Pakshikere, Kavatharu and Balkunje. A weekly market is held on every Thursday. Kinnigoli has got its own supermarkets equipped with fruits, vegetables, pulses, grains, frozen foods, juices, etc. Also there are many restaurants.

The majority of the people in Kinnigoli work in agriculture. Paddy is the widely grown crop and is mostly grown for consumption rather than sale. Cash crops like Areca nut and cashew are grown in small packets of agricultural land or on uncultivable hillocks. Mango, jackfruit and tamarind trees are scattered over the farm lands.

Kinnigoli is undergoing urbanisation and a real estate boom due to an influx of Indian expatriates returning to Kinnigoli (mostly from Persian Gulf countries).[citation needed] Kinnigoli has a hospital called Concetta Hospital which is run by the Bethany Sisters of the Little Flower, Mangalore.

In winter month, usually in January, buffalo racing competition called Kambala is held in the water filled, post harvest, rice fields named Kaanthabare-Boodabare Jodukare in Aikala, just about 3 km from Kinnigoli which attracts hordes of spectators including tourists. The competition attracts well fed and trained buffaloes from the twin districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi (formerly joint as South Canara), gold medallions along with cash prizes are awarded to the winners.

The other facet for which Kinnigoli is known for is its "Unity and diversity". Despite the presence of various religious groups like Hindus, Christians & Muslims and proliferations of Kanarese, Tulu, Konkani, and Beary languages, Kinnigoli has been free from any communal tension over the years. Each of the communities coexist very well and in some cases actively encourage and participate in the religious activities of the other.

Due to the fact that a sizeable number of Kinnigoli natives are Indian expatriates working abroad particularly in the Persian Gulf region, there has been a large influx of foreign remittances to the small town. So nowadays, one can find a large number of upscale mansions and bungalows along the roads leading in and out of Kinnigoli. However, despite the real estate boom, the ecosystem has been carefully preserved by taking care to see that trees are not destroyed and overall green cover remains untouched. As a result, the place still retains its green cover and eco friendly habitat.

The place has seen growth in terms of new apartment complexes, malls and other service segments over the years. [1]
