If regular trekking is too main-stream for you and you want to experience the thrill of trekking with a difference, then you should add Gokarna beach trek to your bucket list of travel. Gokarna is a small temple town in Karnataka which is popular for the Mahabaleswar Shiva temple located in the main Gokarna town. The beach trek starts form here.
Gokarna has several beaches and the trek route is popularly known as the “Golden Route “. The trail will entail walking on the beach sands by the side of the rocky hills on one side and far stretching Arabian Sea on the other side. The route will pass through several beaches starting with Kudle beach, then on to the more popular Om beach which is in the shape of OM and sees travellers spending longer hours. You then move on to more rocky hills trail and reach half Moon shaped beach or crescent beach. The beach hopping trail ends with Paradise beach. The walk up to the paradise beach is relatively difficult as the route is full of rocky hillocks.
Gokarna located 520 kms from Bangalore, 170 kms from Panjim, is an ideal place to spend your weekends trekking on the beach and indulging in bouldering on the shores of the great Arabian Sea. The place is all the more alluring as it offers you the best of both the worlds – trekking on the coastal lines around virgin hilly slopes. The trek is beautiful yet challenging due to the precipitous weather conditions at the shore.
