Begin your adventure with a visit to Mahabaleshwara Temple, one of the most important religious sites in Gokarna. Explore the nearby Gokarna Beach and indulge in thrilling activities like snorkeling, or trekking to the spectacular Kudle Beach. Catch a beautiful sunset at the Om Beach and then head to Nirvana Beach which is relatively secluded and perfect for camping and bonfires.
Head to Murudeshwar Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches in the region. Snorkel or go scuba diving to explore the rich marine life of the Arabian Sea. Visit the Murudeshwara Temple and the iconic Shiva statue towering over the beautiful temple complex which offers a mesmerizing view of the sea. Go camping at Devbagh Beach situated 9 km from Honnavar and indulge in activities like trekking or bird watching.
On your last day, visit the Yana Caves, an offbeat destination located in the Sahyadri mountain range. Trek through the dense rainforest to reach the limestone caves which are naturally formed, and experience the thrill of bouldering along the rocky terrain. Take a dip at the Vibhuti Waterfalls, a picturesque waterfall that falls down from a height of 50 feet into a small pond that invites swimming and other water activities.
If you have extra time, visit the Murdeshwar Fort for stunning views of the Arabian Sea. Alternatively, you can go trekking at Honnavar's Sharavati Wildlife Sanctuary.
If you have less time, consider skipping the Vibhuti Waterfalls or the Murudeshwar Temple to make time for other activities.
