Responding to the ex-Norwegian diplomat's tweet, some of the Twitter users contradicted Solheim's claim. One of the Twitter users wrote, "For those advising it as NH & can't do cycling, let me correct. It's not NH u quoting of another heaven #Maravante beach in Byndooru, this is Malple-Mattu-Kaup road stretch which is absolutely a cycling route."
