Hello Bangalore!
Gokarna Is Easily The Most Famous Destination In Karnataka. There Are Famous Beaches Like Om Beach And Kudle Beach Usually Visited By Tourists. Interesting Thing Is, There Are Also A Few More Beaches That Can Only Be Reached By Trek Like Paradise Beach, Small Hell Beach, Half Moon Beach. These Beaches Are Separated By Hills Covered With Mini Forest. One Has To Climb Up The Hill, Trek Through The Woods, And Reach The Next Beach. Sounds Exciting, Eh?
We’ll Start Our Trip With A Relaxing Morning At Nirvana Beach, Away From The Gokarna Town. Many More Beaches Are Waiting To Be Explored Later In The Day Till We Reach The Most Famous Om Beach!
With A Colorful Crowd And Picturesque Panorama, Om Beach Makes A Perfect Setting To Take Selfies And Groupfies!
The Night Is Happening And Full Of Memories At Gokarna!
The Music, The Delicious Food, The Campfire, The Sound Of The Waves, And A Stroll On The Soft Sand Under A Moonlit Night Adds Up To The Amazing Experience.
The Next Day, We Will Also Visit Gushing Vibhooti Waterfalls And Take A Dip Under Chilling Fresh Mountain Water. This Is One Of The Highlights Of The Trip. There’s Something Magical About Waterfalls That Will Refresh Your Senses And Instantly Make You Happy.
Finally, We Shall Explore Gigantic Formations Of Yana Caves Deep Inside The Jungle By Trekking.
Come, Join Muddie Trails On This Exciting Journey To A Wonderful Experience – Gokarna Beach Trek, Vibhooti Waterfalls, And Yana Caves!
