New Year Celebration @ Gokarna beach and camping
Dec 30'20 - Jan 02'21 | 05:00 PM (IST)
Event Information
Gokarna is a very small tourist town centered around temples. It is known for its huge coastline and a number of beaches that have scenic rocky climbs. The beaches are pristine and hidden behind a frame of well-placed hillocks that trek enthusiasts are keen on trekking to hit the beaches. It is one of the hotspots for travelers, backpackers, beach bums and is a perfect weekend family getaway because of its unspoiled and rustic nature. The beach trek trail shows some of the scenic beaches and mesmerizing coastal stretches that one would not find on any other stretchy beaches.
The Gokarna main beach is in town and Kudle beach is west facing. Om beach, Half-moon Beach,
Paradise Beach (also known as the Full moon) and Belekan beach are south facing. The Gokarna beach forms the coast of the town and is followed by the Main beach in northern direction while the other four beaches lie to the south. The town is popular among Hindu pilgrims as Gokarna has one of the few Shiva's holy temples with what is claimed to be an original image of the god. Journey starts from Gokarna beach itself. Among the other beaches, Kudle beach is the most well-known and popular one. The trekker will get to trek up and down through the rocky beaches like Kudle beach, Paradise beach, Om beach, Half-moon beach, a desert beach called the Nirvana Beach and more. Resting for a bit at each beach spot, lets the trekker explores the surrounding areas of the beach. Om beach, for instance, has rocks shaped in the Om pattern. The beach also has a cliff climb called the Shiva Climb
Gokarna is a place where nature and manmade structures blend into each other. It will be an injustice
not to say it is a combination of serenity, calmness, and peace. The drive up the winding path that leads to Gokarna is scenic, with the Rocky Mountains and the Western Ghats on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other.
Gokarna experiences the southwest monsoon from June to August, following which the weather
becomes dry and sunny. The best time to visit Gokarna is from October until March when the weather
