Day 2

After reaching Gokarna rd. I took a auto(costing around Rs.300) from the to Kariyappa Katte as that was nearest to the place where I was staying i.e Trippr Gokarna Hostel . I had booked single person tent through Makemytrip (cost Rs 236). The place is amazing to stay . They have common washroom for tent stay and dormitory stay and they are absolutely clean . And the manager is also friendly .

After freshening up I went towards the Gokarna main beach, on the enjoying the wind and scorching sun at the same time along with the sound of the sea waves . After reaching there you can have something to drink or eat whe you go outside the main entrance of beach . I asked for the directions to Kudle beach to few people and then proceeded towards it , for the trek you need to walk towards the end of beach and then climb till Rama teertha , along the side of Rama teertha there goes a stairway through which Kudle beach can be reached .After the trek I reached Kudle Beach and the sound of waves and scene infront of my eyes was mesmerising , enjoyed the view had brunch there in one of the cafe and then walked on beach for sometime and started my trek for OM beach .

I travelled solo and since this was my frst solo trip so I was scared to trek throught the jungle path and got lost too but soon I found the directions painted over there on rocks to OM beach and I found my way to OM beach . When I reach there it was crowded as compared to other two but it was beautiful 😍.  I spent some time there enjoyed the view , sat on some rock and enjoyed the waves and wind .

I followed the path and reached somewhat dead end and got lost , so I asked some of the locals there so they showed me the way and I followed ,I was scared and curious at the same time as this trek was totally through jungle and no one was around but when I reached a point from where I could see the beauty of Arabian Sea ,the first words that came out of my mouth was "worth it" . I sat there and enjoyed the view for sometime .
