Gokarna

Gokarna is very well connected by bus as well as train. From Bangalore there are many direct busses available to Gokarna. It takes around 12 hours approx to reach there from bangalore, although, it depends on the route. There are two routes to Gokarna from Bangalore, One via Hubli and the other one which is comparativly shorter is via Shimoga.The best option, if you want to have full fun, go directly to Ohm beach. From Gokarna beach, you can either trek to Ohm beach or you can take a auto ride. The best place to stay (if you are lucky to get a cottage) is paradise beach. This beach is 2 hours trek from Om beach towards south through beautiful mountains. On the way during your trek, you can drop by at half moon beach. On reaching paradise beach, the first thing to do is, book one cottage.Most of the time this beach is occupied only by foreigners. I found it the most remote and beautiful beach of all. The only way to reach there is by trek. Although I managed to find one road that connects to the highway(approx 4 Km trek)from paradise beach, I would suggest the trek from om beach.Gokarna, Kudle, Om, half moon and paradise beach are the main spot. Although there are few more down the beach line, I couldn't manage to visit the reaming ones. I'm sure there are many other beaches to be discovered.
