GOKARNA

This place is located towards the northern part of Karnataka, around 35 km from karwar and 40 km from Kumta. Its is considered as one of the most holy places, were Lord Shiva had a battle with a sea demon and it is due to this one of the beaches is shaped as 'OM' after his victory over this demon.

Gokarn consists of 5 beaches
- Gokarna beach
- Kutle beach
- Om beach
SUNRISE AT KUTLE BEACH - Halfmoon beach
- Paradise beach

I have visited gokarn about 3 time and i must admit it is a very beautiful place. A perfect place to get away from the city humdrum. The beaches are quite unspoilt and are very safe to swim during Nov-march. The water comes into the beach during the monsoon. I have spent many sunrises, sometimes in the company of Dolphins. During december you could swim about 1/2 km into the beach as it is not too deep for a long stretch and waters are generally safe.

So if you are looking for a quite holiday, think no more. Go to Gokarna.........
