Points to Note:

  • Always check the current road conditions and train schedules before planning your trip.
  • Gokarna has a relaxed and laid-back vibe, which contrasts with the bustling and commercialized atmosphere of some other beach destinations. Its beaches, like Om Beach and Kudle Beach, are popular spots.
  • If you’re traveling during the monsoon season (June to September), be extra cautious as the roads can be slippery and some areas might be flood-prone.

It’s recommended to plan your itinerary, book accommodations in advance (especially during peak tourist season), and check the weather conditions before traveling.
