Gokarna Town -
Gokarna is definitely a heavenly place to visit. It is a small town of North-West Karnataka situated on the Western Coast of India. The best thing about Gokarna I found - ‘THE PEACE HERE’. The calm sounds of beautiful beaches and waves, place full of coconut & palm trees and numerous cliffs with scenic views of Arabian Sea.
In & Around -
The main attractions of Gokarna are OM Beach, Paradise Beach and Kudle Beach.
There is also trek to OM Beach (Half Moon Beach) covering approximately 8-10Kms. The other major attraction here is Vibhooti Falls and Yana Caves, which is located around 40KMS from Gokarna town.
It is believed that Lord Shiva emerged here from Cow’s (Gou) Ear (karna), which gives this place its name GOKARNA.
Stay here -
There are many Bunker Beds options available at affordable costs nearby the beaches. Along with these there are beach view resorts too. Fortunately, Gokarna is the place where you’ll find online food delivery options too. The only thing difficult here is the transport. There’s a railway which is obviously not that well connected. The most common and preferred option is by road - Karnataka Govt. hailed buses. There are 2 Wheeler rental options available at Gokarna.
One must definitely visit this place. The breath taking views and the beautiful beaches here are worth a million visits.
