Mahabaleshwar Temple is a must-visit for both religious and architectural reasons. Considered as one of the seven sacred Mukti Stalas of Karnataka, the temple has a history of over 1000 years. Don't miss the 6ft Shivalinga that is believed to be the original lingam.
Post-lunch, head to Paradise Beach - a secluded beach accessible only by boat ride from Om Beach. The beach is surrounded by cliffs on three sides which makes it an ideal spot for water sports and swimming. Enjoy a relaxing couple of hours here before heading back.
Take a trip back in time with a visit to the Mirjan Fort - an ancient fort built in the 16th century. The fort is famous for its unique architecture and water-supply system. Kids will love exploring the fort while adults can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
End your day at Gokarna Beach - a long, sandy beach known for its pristine beauty and stunning sunsets. Take a relaxing walk and enjoy the cool breeze or take a dip in the sea. You can also do some shopping and taste some local delicacies here before heading back.
If you have more time, you can visit Om Beach and Half Moon Beach as well. If you have less time, consider skipping Mahabaleshwar Temple and/or Mirjan Fort.
