Head over for the Gokarna beach trek – the ideal place to trade the tarmac, rush and worries of city life with an exotic blend of sun, sand, waves and total relaxation.

This ideal weekend getaway should provide a pleasing change to your hectic routine. The beaches are clean, safe and well maintained. At night when it gets a little colder, sit by the bonfire on the beach and watch the stars shine above your head and let the serene sound of the waves envelope you.

Although we have to warn you that nothing comes close to the experience of watching the moon flicker in the vitreous sea water even as your senses revel in the warmth and aroma of the tasty food.

You can do almost everything possible under this sky! Play beach volley, football or cricket with friends, take a dip in the water, read a book, bring your hula-hoop, sketch a fruit, meet the friendly beach dogs, get a sun-kissed tan.

If you’re really lucky you can even get a glimpse of the dolphins while trekking through the less travelled boulder strewn beachside path. You can try out various watersports like jet-ski, banana boats etc at Om beach.
