REALITY GOKARNA BEACHES |

The view from Zostel Gokarna was mesmerising, nothing like I had seen before. Pictures could never justify. There is something magical and absolutely thrilling about viewing a vast ocean from hill top and Gokarna provides just that. However to really enjoy the water, you do need access to clean beaches, and the beach right infront of the hostel, the Main Gokarna beach was verrrry disappointing. The dirty beach was a big reality check. We a took 15 minute scooty ride and went to Kudle beach which turned out to be my favourite one of the three famous beaches in Gokarna. Kudle beach is lined with small shacks and was quite clean, its a big broad sandy beach with fewer people and fun, relaxed, laidback vibes. Next was Om beach which is more crowded, partly because of the famous Namaste cafe which had good food. The beach is rockier so you can sit for hours on them without getting wet. I saw more people enjoying on Kudle and Om beach, I could spot a younger crowd than other coastal Karnataka towns. But to call Gokarna the Goa of Karnataka would be a misnomer, it is far different from Goa in terms of beach accessibility and tourism. #karnataka #karnatakatourism #gokarna #gokarnadiaries #gokarnabeach

When I asked you guys what are the things I should try in Mangalore, most of you replied go to Pabbas. Mangalore is an industrial city, big ports, refineries and companies but the favourite hangout spot in the city still remains this ice cream parlor. A big city with small city vibes. #karnataka #karnatakatourism #mangalore #mangalorediaries #mangalorefood
