Bing goa village karnataka india. Gokarna India. How much does it cost to eat in Gokarna

Article from Denis Bashmakov.
Gokarna is a great place to be and get away from everything, relax a bit and move on. Therefore, today I will talk a little about the city of Gokarna in India.

Gokarna on the map

- this is a beautiful village, I don’t dare to call it a city, maybe once it was like that, it is located between everyone known, especially ours, Goa and Kerala.

Transport in Gokarna India, how to get to Gokarna

The city of Gokarna in India can be reached by buses, trains. Airplanes, unfortunately, do not go here. Or maybe it's fortunate. I got to him by train. The train station is far enough away from the beach that you will need transportation.

The choice in Gokarna is not very large - taxis and rickshaws waiting for the next client at the station exit, or a local bus. But to get on it, you will need to walk 1 km on foot to the crossroads, from where, after waiting for the bus, get to Gokarna.

Accommodation in Gokarna India

So, you have arrived at the place. What is the first thing you need to do? Right! Find accommodation. I still recommend to come to Gokarnu in India when the season is over. Why? Yes, because you can not frailly bring down the prices of accommodation, and somehow calmer on the beach. But, as they say, to each his own. So choose according to your needs. Now you can easily rent rooms or bungalows for 100-200 rupees.

Beaches of Gokarna

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that there are several beaches in Gokarna India:
1. Temple beach - the largest and longest beach in Gokarna, where I live;


2. Kudle beach - located across the hill from ours. Smaller in size. But it creates a slight sense of comfort that it is between two hills;


3. Om beach - a beach in Gokarna, which is probably more famous. There are mostly tourists there. I counted a couple of restaurants and that's it. Prices, as far as I understand, will be higher than in the previous two. And yes, you have to get there somehow. As a rule, rickshaws come to the rescue here. But what is good there is a rather calm sea, beautiful views of the rocks that are located along the edges and in the middle of the beach. Beautiful. I have nothing to add.

After it there are a couple of small beaches, but I didn’t get there. For me, Temple beach is more suitable. Now I will list why.
1. Large and long beach, where you can walk in the evenings and losses, when it becomes fresh and comfortable;
2. Nearby is the Gokarna market, where you can buy everything you need, from food, cookies, to clothes, musical instruments and souvenirs;
3. Here you can go to prosad, which can hardly be found on the beaches of Gokarna Om and Kudle;
4. The bus station is quite close and can be reached on foot;
5. Many people come here first and stay;
6. Prices in this area in Gokarna India are lower;
7. At the end of the beach there is a source with clean and even healing water. So you don't have to waste your money on water. In India, in general, you can not spend money on it, if you are more careful;
8. A food and vegetable market opens on Thursdays, and a fish market on weekends. And all this is near Temple Beach.

Perhaps enough. As a result, I can only say that it is worth visiting Gokarna at least once. Maybe this is where you will find your place. Well, if not, then continue your search, making sure that Gokarna is not for you.

I don’t know how this place looks during the tourist season, but I liked it right now, when there are not so many of them, and due to this you can bargain, save a lot.

In general, travel, relax, explore new places. You already know a little about one of these places in India. Go ahead, friends!
P.s. It is quite possible to live in Gokarna in India for 5-6 thousand rubles a month (out of season - now). Or maybe you can do it even cheaper.

This was an article from Denis Bashmakov about the city of Gokarna in India. Now you know how to get to Gokarna, what kind of accommodation is there and what beaches, and you can decide whether you should go to this village.

Hello friends!

We have just returned home from our six month trip to India. This time we decided not to jump around countries and continents, but purposefully and thoroughly settle in one place, moving lazily enough to feel the country and its ubiquitous madness.

So, in the lanes of the village you can find a bunch of different temples and shrines, most of which are forbidden for foreigners. Groups of short, jet-black Dravidian Brahmins walk the streets, with the same black, impenetrable eyes. Everything is imbued with the spirit of incense, service and eternal contemplation of divine games.

The population here is strikingly different from the North of India, where meeting tall, light-eyed Indians is not at all uncommon, especially somewhere in.

Volcanic hills and our Borka

In general, similar Hindu sacred places are somewhat similar. What is Pushkar, what is Rishikesh, what is Varanasi, what is Gokarna. Everywhere - a spill of some special energy and a bunch of bright colors in clothes, houses, flowers and spices.

I won’t say that I am a big fan of all this, but when I get to such places, most of all I like to just sit in the shade along the cobbled street with masala chai and watch what is happening right in front of you. Sometimes it seems to me that this is the easiest and most natural path to enlightenment. Especially looking at how the Indians themselves do it.

temples

Of course, like any other sacred place in India, Gokarna is replete with its temples:

  • Mahabalevshar. The main temple of Gokarna and, judging by the descriptions of advanced esotericists, the main source of harmonization of the entire surrounding space. Here at the bottom of the well is the very ancient Lingam, which the god Ganesha took away from the demon Ravana and returned to earth
  • Shiva Cave (cow's ear). A wonderful place on the volcanic hills, from where, according to one of the legends, Shiva was born. The entrance is not easy to find, ask the locals. Just don't encourage them to beg. Some of them like to beg baksheesh from compassionate smiling Europeans.
  • Mahaganapati. The temple of the two-headed Ganesha, who here, due to his services to the planet Earth, enjoys great reverence. I myself, although somewhat far from all the intricacies of Hindu belief systems, have great respect for the image of Ganesha. And in the past I even put his figurine on the dashboard of my car.

Beaches

In addition to temples, there are awesome beaches here: long, sandy and open. Near the center, however, very filthy. But a little aside - just paradise. Look at the photo, I think it's very atmospheric!

The following are considered the main ones:

  • Gokarna beach is the main city beach with a huge coastline, which seems incredibly deserted after sunsets. In the evening, at sunset, people also crawl out here, but they don’t arrange any performances and markets, but sit in small groups under the rapidly falling sun.
  • Cudley Beach. A beach enclosed by a natural barrier in the form of rocks and volcanic rocks. Small, cozy and quiet.
  • Om beach. A favorite beach of Israeli demobilizations and Indian vacationers. It is named so because of the similarity of the outline of the coast with the Sanskrit sacred syllable "Om". The biggest attraction of the beach is in the thickets of sprawling trees, under the shade of which you can escape from the heat of the day.

Spiritual practices

If you are not as Internet-dependent as we are and you do not need it, this minus is not so significant for you. Yogis, vagabonds, esoteric Shaivites who do not need online feel very good here during the entire winter season.

Various yogis and gurus love to come here. And the calm contemplative atmosphere here is great for meditation and calming the mind. You go out on the volcanic hills at sunset, sit on a pebble and watch the waves beating on the edge of the setting sun for a long time ... The easiest way to find natural shanti-om.

Hotels and accommodation

The most common type of housing here are coastal houses, which can be found in large numbers if you go from the village center along the main beach to the north.

There, among the kazaurina coniferous groves, you will see coastal cafes, on the territory of which several houses will definitely be located. Prices in them range from 400 to 600 rupees per day for options with the most basic amenities.

If you need housing for some long period, and even with a kitchen, you will have to try. For such a luxury for long-steers is possible here in very limited quantities.

But, if you need comfort, check out the high-rated offers. in agoda.

How to get there

  1. The nearest major international airports are Dabolim (Goa) and Bangalore.
  2. The railway station is called Gokarna Railway, you can get here by train from Goa (2-4 hours drive).
  3. Buses

Features (Important to know)

Gokarna is a village: 3 streets with an ancient, almost medieval way of life, which inevitably leaves its mark on the local life:

  1. Very weak internet. Working remotely is hard enough
  2. Few shops with necessary goods and products
  3. Vegetable market - on the road, away from the center
  4. ATM was found only 1, SBI, next to the bus station. Might not work.
  5. There are almost no official exchangers
  6. Far points (beaches and temples) can only be reached by rickshaws, who like to rack up money.

In connection with paragraph 6 in 2015-2016, travelers talked about the collusion of rickshaws with the police so that the latter would actively fine those traveling around Gokarna on scooters and motorcycles with local numbers. Of course, this does not happen every day and not always, however, there were precedents.

Apparently, because of this, it is more difficult to rent a moped or a motorcycle here than in Goa: signs and announcements are quite rare, you have to ask in cafes and shops.

Map of Gokarna and surroundings

There really is something fabulous and elusive here: frogs jumping into the house, the sound of the ocean at night and the silence of the village.

In search of a lost paradise, Goan regulars moved south along the coast, and they discovered Gokarna (quite a long time ago, so you will find guesthouses and sheks on the beaches there). Gokarna may be your first trip from Goa to the "real" India. This is a sacred city for Hindus, in which foreigners are not allowed into the temples, therefore, out of respect for culture, do not walk around Gokarna in those beach clothes that you wear in Goa! You can undress on one of the wonderful beaches near Gokarna.

Compared to Goa, there is a lack of civilian food and housing, but this is compensated by the prices and the atmosphere "we are the chosen ones, since we know about Gokarna." Spontaneous parties with a fire and drums are often arranged on the beaches. The full moon night is especially popular on Paradise Beach (it is better to sail there by boat).
You can rent a house in the city for 50 rupees per day. Yoga and Sanskrit teachers can be found. This is a very small and cozy town.

Beaches of Gokarna

The city beach is littered, sunbathing is not worth it, women are not allowed. From the city beach you can hire a boat to the "white" beaches, this is the fastest way to get to them (at least 100 rupees). Worth a ride at least once for the views.
In 2016, we lived about a kilometer from the center of Gokarna on the main beach, you can sunbathe, swim too, there are few people, and the farther from the city the cleaner and quieter (additional achadidi).

Behind Ganapati Temple, the path to Kudle Beach (you will see a pointer with an arrow painted on the wall). A 30 minute walk through beautiful rocky terrain will take you to the beach. There you can undress, swim, drink lassi, eat pizza (Cudle Beach has long been chosen by Italians) and find a basic residence with a toilet on the street. This is the widest beach of the whole set. small, safe.

From Kudle Beach you can walk to Om Beach(20 minutes), further will be Half moon beach(another 30 minutes) and Paradise Beach. The latter is often inaccessible to pedestrians and can only be accessed by local bus from the Gokarna bus station. For 9 rupees on this bass you will reach the end of its route (on the way you will pass an excellent Indian food market with gifts of nature and fish), and then you will need a guide through. You will make your way through the forest, and then climb a high mountain, and from above you will see a paradise lagoon. Everything is like in - this is Paradise Beach. It has beach huts made of reeds and coconut leaves (70 R per hut, it was in 2006), there are 2 where you can feed yourself without leaving the beach. On Paradise Beach, beer is sold and you can sunbathe topless (in the lagoon on the left, if no one has occupied it - naked).

How to get to Gokarna?

From Goa: There is 1 bus from Margao bus station for 65 rupees, 4 hours. In 2016, a direct bus went to Margao from Gokarna (and back too), departure at 8.15, time to Goa 4 hours, price 90 rupees.
From Margao you can go by train, it's faster, only 2 hours, for 23 rupees (departs at 12.00 from Magdaon (Margao), and faster in an hour and a half (at 14.25 from Magdaon). However, the time is only nominal, 2 times the train to 14.25 was delayed by an hour or more.These passenger trains continue at (5 hours, 44 rupees).

In () trains run on Saturdays and Sundays (15 hours, sleeper 281 R).
located 9 km. from the city.

Gokarna can also be reached by faster trains, for this you need to get off at Kumta or Ankole, then by bus or rickshaw.

From Goa to Gokarna, a city in the neighboring state of Karnataka, we set off in a somewhat unusual way. With the help of the old manager of Morjim Sunset Guesthouse, we planned the next route to Gokarna: we took a taxi to the town of Margao, from where there was a direct bus to Gokarna, and already by bus we had to get to the town, which was highly recommended to us by friends of friends. For a taxi we paid 400 rupees per person and drove for one hour, for a bus we paid 118 rupees and shook along bumpy and narrow roads for another 4 hours. The choice of the bus route was dictated by issues of economy - for crossing the state border, taxi drivers were racked with an exorbitant price.

Gokarna was the only destination where we didn't book a hotel even at the last minute. The reason for such self-confident laxity was banal - there simply was not a single hotel or guesthouse in Gokarna on booking.com.

Upon arrival, we checked into the first guesthouse that came across - not luxurious, but not quite horror-horror, and the next day we went to look for normal housing for the remaining three days in the holy city of Karnataka.

We were lucky and found accommodation near the beach and a restaurant. Unfortunately, the Nimmu House guesthouse is mentioned in the Lonely Planet guidebook, so the owner has long doubled the prices indicated there. But the restaurant next door had indecently low prices, a huge menu and very funny waitresses.

Gokarna Beach deserves a separate story about it. It was here that we saw, so to speak, the classic beach of India: a large sandy beach, cows, dogs, garbage from the sea and garbage from the city, resting Indians and rare white tourists. To find a piece of the beach where it does not stink, you need to try very hard. To swim, we went away from the main entrance to the beach for about three hundred meters. But after about fifteen minutes, groups of two or three Indians were stretching in our direction, who unobtrusively walked back and forth or simply hid behind the boat on the shore to look at the naked white women. Indian women, like Arab women, bathe in clothes.

Of course, it's hard to call it swimming. Waves near the shore cover with your head and drag you into the sea. If you go into the water above the hip, there is already a big risk of not returning to the shore. The power of water is indescribable. Shy Indians generally splash only in shallow water, where the water is ankle-deep, and we went deeper to plunge into the wave, but without fanaticism, so as not to be dragged away.

With Efim, we also went to the neighboring beach - Kudle Beach, to admire its even greater beauty and be horrified by even more garbage.

It makes sense to go to the state of Karnataka for a long time. Five national parks, twenty-five reserves, of which five are bird, many temples, palaces and statues attract tourists both from India and from abroad. We, unfortunately, managed to capture all this rich variety only from the corner of our ears and eyes. On the morning of the second day in Gokarna, we left by taxi along the route of the waterfalls - a large statue of Shiva. You can also get to the famous Jog Falls by bus, but watching the next serpentine turn, I looked at the buses with a feeling of slight anxiety: the road is narrow, difficult to pass and it is easier to transfer an hour in a taxi than a couple of hours on a mountain serpentine in a cramped bus. Despite the fact that we formally arrived at the end of the monsoon season and could count on really powerful water flows, the four branches of the Shiravati River did not really want to impress anyone. However, during the tourist season, which starts in October, miserable streams will remain on the walls of the rocks. A good impression was made by the approach of the Indian authorities to the organization of the screening process. This is not just some kind of observation deck, but a whole park with stairs, fences and restaurants. But the truth, to our regret, the stairs to the foot of the waterfall were closed.

Having made a dizzying taxi ride to the foot of the mountain, we drove towards the largest statue of Shiva, built in the early 2000s. And almost suffocated.

If we thought that we were already accustomed to the eternal stench of India, then we were deeply mistaken. After an hour and a half of recurring patches of unbearable rotten smell, we came to the conclusion that it was still in some kind of fertilizer plant and in the trucks that carry rotten raw materials to this plant. And at the entrance to the temple complex in Murudeshwar, I had to stop breathing altogether and get to the entrance in short dashes. The smell of rotten fish was unbearably beautiful.

The entrance to the temple itself was closed, but in our tourist opinion this was not a big deal. Gopuram - a tower above the gate - 75 meters high, satisfied the craving for beautiful Indian architecture. True, I had to take off my slippers in order to trample the dusty floor around this same gopuram together with all the Indians. In India, by the way, shoes are not allowed in most temples. You should have seen the torment of our friends about walking or not walking barefoot on the floor along with all the Hindus!

To get to the huge statue of Shiva, slippers were found and shod. The sun was already baking mercilessly and I longingly remembered the gloomy, but simply warm Goa.

I cannot speak for all Hindus, but the joy with which they treat religious holidays, I think, speaks in favor of the fact that Hindus are a religious people. They were lucky: no one canceled Shiva and Ganesha for them. These deities were always with them. And around the statue in Murdeshwar there were many local tourists who came to see their shrines. We also walked around the statue, marveled at its size, fought off beggars and intrusive sellers.

On the way back to Gokarna enjoyed the views of the tropical forests with palm trees and again practiced long breath-holds as the taxi drove behind trucks full of rotten fish.

But, as they say, a holiday happened on our street. The truck with cookies did not roll over, but due to the proximity to the beach, we could repeatedly observe the solemn processions of the removal of Ganesha statues into the sea. It was the last days of a great holiday - the festival of Ganesha. In Goa, the hotel manager invited us to his house to celebrate the beginning of the holiday, and in Karnataka we already found the end of the festival. Moreover, if on the penultimate day it was still somehow quiet, then on the last night of the festival we heard very loud music and Yefim, unable to stand it, ran to see. Indians performed on the shore with a fire show in the circle of drummers, and the statue of Ganesha, brought on a trailer, was the largest and most beautiful of all those that we had seen in previous days.

And the next day we had a long way back home. We picked up a flight from Goa airport to Delhi in such a way as not to call in the bustle of the Indian capital, but after waiting 3-4 hours in the terminal, just transfer to the plane to Moscow. From Gokarna we took a taxi to Dabolim Airport in Goa. Without incident, but with a slight delay, flew to Delhi. There, for a long time, they translated printouts of tickets from Russian to the guard (it’s impossible to enter the terminal if you don’t have a ticket), stood in several queues, hardly managed to have a bite to eat and run into a store before departure.

We flew the way I like: in a half-empty plane. After sleeping for most of the flight on free seats in a wide row, we had breakfast with coffee and cookies and landed safely in Moscow in the morning. The customs officer at passport control looked for a long time at Yefim's passport and at Yefim himself. Then I looked at my passport again. Having received the answer that we are from India, I aptly noticed that people like those in the photo in the passport fly there (smoothly shaven), and they return like Yefim now - overgrown to the very eyebrows.

And then there were meat burgers in FARSH and delicious coffee, talking with friends and flying to Dahab.

In Dahab, we were greeted by heat.

Who would have thought that a short journey from the neighboring state of Karnataka, or rather to the small town of Gokarna, would pass with such. But nevertheless, this is life and new experience, which is inevitable in independent travel, gives exclusivity and diversity. We got there by train at five o'clock in the evening on December 17, 2011.

Continuing the last story, let me remind you that I arrived in Gokarna with a Russian guy Sasha, our other friend Ilgiz fell asleep on the train and passed the stop. I met them by chance in Arambol.

We stayed in a new hotel in the center, sharing a room and its cost of 400 rupees for two. It turned out to be 200 rupees per person. The room looked quite decent, and the bathroom was clean and everything worked. They even cleaned and washed the floor, like in a real hotel.

I first heard about the existence of this place from Sasha. And already on the very first evening, walking along the street past two Indian temples, there was some very pleasant feeling of inner comfort, security, tranquility or something, a feeling of soft and pleasant energy and coziness. This very rarely happens, for I am often tense, hurried and alert. And then she relaxed, became kinder, and all the accumulated negativity disappeared instantly. I immediately felt the positive effects and changes. Awesome!!!

Gokarna

Gokarna although small, but sacred and overgrown with numerous ancient legends, the place. In Sanskrit, it means cow's ear. Look at where Gokarna is on the map of India, if you zoom in a little, it really looks like a cow's ear.

Here is one of the main shrines, very revered by Hindus - Shiva lingam and temples, in one of which this same lingam is stored.

Tradition says that a certain king carried the sacred gift of God Shiva - the lingam, through all of India to Sri Lanka. However, where he is put on the ground, there he will remain forever. Stopping in Gokarna for prayer or rest, the sacred gift was placed on the ground and remained standing forever. Therefore, this place is considered holy for Hindus. And Gokarna is a holy town - a village. Read all the legendary and historical details on the website of the city of Gokarna in English.

Every day, several buses with pilgrims - adults and schoolchildren, as well as private cars arrive in Gokarna. All of them are beautifully dressed up with garlands of fresh flowers. Locals are used to it, and vacationers too. There are many pilgrims especially on weekends. At the end of the street, by the sea, everything is so crowded with cars. Pilgrims go to the temple, perform puja (pray and perform the prescribed rituals). And then they go to bathe in the sea. Sometimes a whole chain is built. They also love boating because they can't swim. They go to the waist and back. Women are right in saris - national clothes. In the main temple there are naturally sacred cows, apparently these are the most sacred times in the temple, they are respected there, loved and fed, so they look very beautiful.

And these are Indian schoolchildren-pilgrims coming from the temple.

In the middle of the main street in Gokarna there is such an interesting thing - ancient chariot.

Maha Shivaratri is considered one of the most important religious holidays of Hindus, celebrated in February on the night of the 13th-14th day of the waning moon of the month of Magh. I did not manage to catch him, but they say that on this day ancient ritual chariots are taken out, which can be seen in the photo. In them, people throw their gifts to God - fruits, gifts. The oldest chariot - 'Dodda Ratha' - as the locals call it, is located in a special shelter-garage at normal times. Her wheels are completely wooden and are larger than a human being. And the little one - 'Sanna Ratha' is standing next to her on the street, in front of my hotel.

Local color is present in Gokarna everywhere. Believers live here, among them there are many Brahmins. On the street, here are bunches of grass hanging as amulets and probably protect from evil spirits. In every house there are images of Indian gods.
I was no longer so scared of old houses, cows, the amount of garbage, barefoot people and a lot of other shortcomings from my then point of view. Still, it's been exactly a month since I've been traveling around India on my own. Even everything seemed more interesting, you just have to accept and fit into this world. For me then it was oh how difficult. There are many tourists from different countries here - travelers like me, especially Europeans, there are also Russians, but less than in.

On the very first evening, I was pleasantly surprised by the cheap prices in cafes and shops for groceries, food, fruit - for everything. I chatted with a tourist from Denmark, he talked about Kudli beach (beach), where he came from specifically to buy fruit, because it is more expensive there and there is no choice. At the same time, he put everything in his backpack, categorically refusing a plastic bag so as not to produce garbage. I immediately assessed the “tourist audience” as reasonable and decent :), which made me very happy. He also recommended me a juice bar (juice - juice), which was a tiny eatery with four tables, which at first glance did not inspire confidence. But in fact, there a local uncle makes delicious and cheapest fresh juice from various fruits with ice. That's where I got into the habit of going every day, if not more often. Yes, I drank juice with this ice of unknown origin. Alive as you can see. Juice cost 15-25 rupees. They also sold homemade ice cream for 8 rupees a scoop, although I ate the cheapest one for 5 rupees - different types, from coconut to chocolate - yummy. Especially after spicy Indian food.

The next day, Sasha showed where the beach was, and then went to look for cheaper accommodation. I was going to explore the city and also do marketing for housing and everything that comes across, but first I drink juice.

By the way, in the same place at the end of the main street of Gokarna, where the beach begins, there is a tent where sugar cane juice is made (Sugar cane juice). But this time I didn’t dare to try it, but only took a photo (I’m sorry I deleted the video). Sugarcane sticks (3-5 pieces) are driven several times through this simple installation, a piece of lime (a very small lemon, but more aromatic), ice, and sometimes a piece of ginger are added, and it turns out very tasty. It cost 10 rupees.

Well, I hope I managed to get a general idea of ​​​​Gokarna, where my journey fortunately brought me, but this is only the beginning ...

Here the beauty of nature and greenery is combined with the widespread Indian litter. And spirituality with asceticism and some kind of indifference, or something, or even ignorance. Energy gives pleasant sensations and a sense of connection with nature and one's self. This is their life, in order to understand it, one needs both time and desire. Although I confess, I often condemned and categorically treated a lot, but this is just what was in my head. A girl from Moscow, with the manners of a perfectionist, striving for everything right, beautiful and the best with a former package tourist from a 5 * hotel, and now traveling around India like a backpacker, and even without any plans.

I went to explore the city and find out what, where, how much 🙂 I looked at the beach and even put in mind a room on a quiet street. Comfort and beauty around were still important to me, and of course, the inexpensive price.

On the way to the beach, on the main street there is a small bridge over a canal or a river, it looks very nice, on the one hand.


And this is a view of the same stream, only in the other direction - such a contrast.

Coming back I met Ilgiz, that second friend who passed the stop when. He arrived the same day, but spent the night at Om Beach. Sasha, meanwhile, called and said that he had found a new home on the main beach of Gokarna, but it would not be free until tomorrow. There was no third bed in our room, so I offered to see the room that I found for 250 rupees. Ilgiz also wanted to live at least a little more comfortably than in the bambukhat on the shore. Moreover, he wanted to leave somewhere in a couple of days. He left me an English dictionary, said that he did not want to carry it with him, which I really lacked, and we went again to a relatively quiet street.

What's happened Bamboohat- This is a house made entirely of palm leaves, intertwined in large mats, used, among other things, for the construction of light houses. Cheap and fast. I liked the room in the hotel, but for me alone it was expensive.

The next day in the morning, Sasha collected half of the things, said that he would take the rest later, otherwise it was hard to carry, and moved to a house on the main beach - main beach, costing 100 rupees per day. I stayed at the hotel - I liked it there so far. Read the continuation of the story about life in Gokarna in the following and parts, there are many more interesting and beautiful photos of Gokarna.
