Start your day with a refreshing dive into the sea at the Main Beach. You'll enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the picturesque waters. Head towards Kudle Beach, a 20-minute hike from the main beach through a lush green forest before reaching the pristine blue waters and smooth sand beach. Enjoy the sunsets while shaking a leg or two to the music at the shacks. Conclude the day with a mesmerizing view of the twilight by the ocean at Om Beach.
Start early with a 1-hour trek through the scenic beauty from Om Beach to Paradise Beach. The place is secluded and serene. You might meet tourists here, but mostly, the place is uninhabited. Later, head to Om Beach to try out the adventurous water sports like jet skiing, parasailing, and banana riding. Spend the evening gorging on scrumptious seafood at the beach shacks at Om Beach.
Start the day with a visit to the famous Mahabaleshwara Temple located near Gokarna Beach. The temple has a rich history dated back to the 4th century and adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. Later, visit the Tamra Gowri Temple - the abode of the fierce goddess - located on the way to Mirjan Fort. Spend the evening shopping at the flea markets near Gokarna beach, known for their funky and handcrafted souvenirs, jewelry, and apparel.
If you have more time, you can plan a day trip to Mirjan Fort and explore its history. Alternatively, you can also visit the Durga Temple and the Bhadrakali Temple. However, if you have less time, you can skip the shopping in Gokarna, or you can visit only the Mahabaleshwara Temple or the Tamra Gowri Temple.
