Hi Venkatarajan, Shimoga and Jog Falls makes for an excellent weekend trip. You can either take an overnight train from Bangalore to Shimoga or hire a self-drive vehicle and embark on an epic road trip. After reaching Shimoga, head to the mighty Jog Falls. After Jog Falls, visit the scenic hamlet of Honnemaradu located on the shores of Golden Lake. On the second day you can visit the Sakrebyle Elephant Camp and Gajanur Dam before heading back to Bangalore.

Yes, you can add Gokarna to your plan. You can skip the attractions I mentioned for the second day and head to Gokarna. That way you will get two days in Gokarna. Bangalore is about 500km (9 hours) from Gokarna therefore plan your return trip to Bangalore accordingly
