Breakfree Journeys goes backpacking to Gokarna! October 17

The many faces of Gokarna is what makes this quite coastal town so interesting. It is home to Sanskrit schools and to beach shacks, it is where lies the Atma Lingam – Shiva’s most potent weapon and a beach shaped like Om. On one side you have saffron clad priests walking briskly and on the other, fellows sporting dreadlocks and a Ganesha tee walking behind them. The smell of incense is persistent near the temple while acrid smell of weed is prominent near the beaches. Where cattle and women in bikinis lounge together by the sea. It’s a town full of contrasts, just like the country that we call home. Our journey begins on the night of 16th aboard the Mangalore Express which will drop us off at Karwar. From there, we will change two buses to reach the town of Gokarna. Over the next three days, we will explore the 5 beaches of Gokarna, go for early morning and evening dips in the Arabian sea, trek up to the last frontier – Paradise beach or take a boat ride along the coast. Hitch a ride to Mirjan Fort and watch the sunset over the Arabian and enjoy local delicacies, especially sea food. Accommodation will be basic in a clean property close to the beach and all internal transport will be in shared autos and local buses. The idea is to experience the town like the local and cut out the touristy bits.
