Asnoti is a village in Karwar Taluka, Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka, India. It is close to the historic fort of Sadashivgad located on Kali river. Konkani is spoken as a local language.
Due to the presence of the railway station it caters to the neighbouring villages of Thoralebag, Hodlebag, Sadashivagad, Angadi and also to the township of Kaiga, Mallapur; though the public transport facilities from the station are not up to the mark, as it is a wayside station.
Margao-Karwar (DMU), Verna-Mangalore passenger trains and few special trains halt at Asnoti.
