Gokarna

A serene coastal town in Karnataka, India, renowned for its temples and pristine beaches, often considered a less-crowded alternative to Goa.

Tips from the community

Gokarna town is a small pilgrimage site due to its Shiva temple, but foreign tourists usually come to visit one of its many beaches: Gokarna, Kudle, Om, Half Moon, and Paradise beach. The beaches here are quiet and many people stay in basic beach huts. There are some yoga classes here too.
