Place to stay

Without a doubt I would say Zostel gokarna!

So when are you hitting the Gokarna trail??!

Zostel Gokarna

An awesome place to meet new travelers and share you experiences and culture with them.A hostel concept where you are provided with ac dorms and separate cottages. Excellent location with an amazing view of the Gokarna beach and the surrounding hillocks. The common room has good wall art and couches to where you can read or play board games.Engage in conversation with your fellow travelers and get to know about their stories.

Kudle Beach

Amazing view of the sunset.This place has more of the younger crowd and foreigners. A good place to try out Frisbee as the winds are quite strong. Lie down on this beach after sunset and get an enchanting view of the stars.Can be reached from Zostel by walk. Will take 15 mins to reach from zostel.

Om Beach

The most popular and the longest beach in Gokarna. Good for water activities and a long stroll along the beach. Try to avoid during 1-3 PM as the scorching sun sets in then. Namaste cafe is located at the start of this beach. A nice place to hangout with friends and good food. This beach is a good spot for taking a panorama as you will get a view of the "Om" outline of the beach.

Half Moon Beach

Hidden gem of Gokarna . Seek solitude here.It can be reached only on foot from om beach by means of a short trek from Om beach.The path starts with a short trek through a dense cover of trees and shrubs after which you have the hills to your left and the sea to your right.This will give you the thrills definitely.
