Trip to Gokarna is something you cannot refuse to taste. Gokarna, a small pilgrimage town in Karnataka has grown into a tourist destination over the years, thanks to its stretch of beautiful, sandy beaches. With the advent of foreigners thronging it, it no longer remains a quaint temple town, but a thriving vacation spot  Earlier known only for its famous Mahabaleshwar Temple, Gokarna gained popularity on the travel map through its secluded and laid-back beaches (Gokarna Beach, Kudle Beach, Om Beach, Half Moon Beach, and Paradise Beach) as laid back as Goa, only less commercial.

The name Gokarna conjures up images of long secluded beaches, serene sunsets, never-ending horizons, and expansive sea with a tinge of the local flavour and backpackers.  The temple town is now an emerging beach destination that offers something to different types of tourists with its natural beauty and its history steeped in mythology. The long sandy stretches of Om Beach and Kudle Beach are a delight for every beach lover. The beaches offer breathtaking vistas of the expansive Arabian Sea and a never-ending horizon.

Gokarna is also well known for its beach trek, a trail that connects all five beaches across hillocks. With vantage points and breathtaking vistas all along, the trek is a must while on a jaunt in Gokarna. A couple of beaches are so secluded that they are only accessible either by trek or by a boat/catamaran. Witnessing countless beaches at Gokarna & experiencing the hippie culture, beach hopping, and cafe hopping are things that you cannot miss it from your bucket list.
