Go See Gokarna


This temple town in North Karnataka is fast emerging as a prominent tourist destination for beach buddies. It is known for its five pristine white beaches, located at a short distance from each other. The most popular beach is Om beach that sees a lot of frenetic activity. The name's derived from its shape, split by a rocky island . The Kudle beach is also one of the most visited beaches with a strip of restaurants and ample provision for accomodations. Half Moon and the Paradise are secluded and less populated. The Paradise beach is almost a tiny hideaway spot for tourists.

Even though Gokarna is not known for its gastronomical delight , the town has plenty of restaurants that offer delectable seafood fare like prawn masala and king fish sizzler. For non-meat lovers, there are lots of restaurants that serve up steaming idlys and upmas.

For those looking for sand, sun and surf, Gokarna is one of the ideal getaways. Located 500 kms from Bangalore, the temple town is connected by bus, railways and the nearest airport is in Goa at Dabolim.
