Day 1

Landed at Bangalore airport early morning at 7.30am. Since we had planned for a roadtrip, we pre-booked a car from GozoCabs (Bangalore airport- Bangalore airport). After a light breakfast at a restaurant near Bangalore airport, we started our journey towards our first destination i.e., COORG. It was a 5-6 hours journey. On our way to our Coorg stay (Airbnb), we visited the Golden Temple. Golden Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in Coorg

Day 5

On day 5, we had to leave for Gokarna. From Udupi it is around 3 hours. Before reaching our hotel at gokarna, we headed to Yana Caves. Yana Caves is an unexplored and untouched beautiful caves amidst the forest. To reach the caves, you will have to do a trek of around 30 minutes. The trek is an easy one but since there are very less people around, it might get a little scary one as you will have to cross a forest full of wild animals to reach the caves. After this, we headed towards our hotel. We had booked a resort near gokarna main beach. So after check-in, we went to gokarna main beach to enjoy some 'Beach-time' finally!!

Day 6

On the next day, we decided to do the beach trek. So it is a 4 beaches trek. Starting from Kudle beach to Om beach to Half moon beach and finally to Paradise beach. The first half of the trek is easy, but the trek between half Moon beach to Paradise beach is a really tricky one. After reaching paradise beach, we spent some time there and then again did a 20 minutes trek from paradise beach to reach the road.
