We reached hubli in the morning nearly 9 am,as there was a halt of 1 hour before reaching Hubli.
From Hubli we went to bus stations,You dont get to have any Ola or Uber.
We took 2 autos as we were 5 members..
Auto person charged us 200 for 2 autos.
Later we had breakfast in the bustand,by the time we finish ankora bus came.
We got into the bus,its nearly 100 or 120 per person,It was a 3 hour journey..
We reached Ankhora by 12pm and again we have to take a bus to Gokarna.
There will be very minimum buses to Gokarna and school pupil,other travellers everyone will be waiting for the bus.
And again dont expect any Ola or Uber cabs.
We were very tired ,so we hardly got a cab where we paid 800 to him.
It was a 1 hour journey to Gokarna.
And the road scenic will be good.
We reached Samskruthi resort in Gokarna , it was really good.
You can google the pics of the resort.
It is nearer to Kudle and Om beach.
We got 2 cottages..
We ate outside... thinking that we could find some good sea food,but by the time we went out,it was 3 pm,we couldnt find sea food near by.
After having lunch.We enquired nearby and got 2 wheelers for rent.
So we started to Om beach with the help of Map.
There are no timings or restrictions regarding visit to beach.
Day 2 ended with a good dips in beach and good bachelorette party . We planned to go to Murudeswar the next day
We started from Hyderabad to Hubli as there were no direct trains to Gokarna.. But there are travel buses available to Gokarna.
We got into train on Friday 3.40pm at Secunderabad station and Day 1 was completely our train journey
Waking up at 7 am,got ready and had breakfast by 9 am.Then we started on our bikes.
There was a temple nearby Mahabaleswar temple.It was this temple where the story of Ravanna carrying the Atmalinga from Himalayas.
We visited the temple and started again...
On the way to Murudeswar,we stopped for the mirjan fort,the map will not be showing you exact location.So we enquired near by persons,as we know kannada,and they can understand telugu also.
We went to the Mirjan fort,which was known as Pepper queen fort.
It was beautiful structure to visit and know about historical places.
We started to Murudeswar.
After reaching Murudeswar,we had lunch which is not as expected.
At the entrance you will be seeing a 18 storey goppuram,you can take a ticket which costs 15 or 20 rs per person.
They will take you in a lift,you will be stopped at 18th floor,which is small place with little window spaces 4 sides.
You can see and take pics from the window side.
You can experience the landacape vision of total murudeswar temple ,statue and the beach ...
After getting down... You can just go into the temple and near the statue too.
Till 6 r 7 pm we spent our day in Murudeswar and just walked along the beach for some time.
Started back to Gokarna, our resort place.
We reached to the resort before just before 10 pm had dinner in resort itself.
Got up at 8 am and packed our bags.. We have to leave by 10.30am.
We again went to visit some beaches
But the locations as per google were not accurate,we could not go to halfmoon,paradise beach.
There were all barriers in between.
We went to gokarna beach and came to Om beach as it was the only good place.
Om beach was very natural looking and there will be good restaurent and music place too.
Dont get a tattoo at the tattoo stall if you want to have a temporary tattoo,he just places normal ink and it just washes off after first wash only.
After taking good pics,we started back to Resort and left to catch the bus.
We couldnt get a bus at right time to ankhora. We reached Hubli late,so we missed our train and had to book again for the next train.
It was just a small trip ,if you could go by bus then it would be time saving.
But there were just few places in and nearby Gokarna.. And we could easily cover it in 2 days other than our travel time.
If you go by own vehicle it will be more fun only if you could afford.
Overall trip including rented bikes,train and bus fares,hotel booking,food,it was just 5600 per person.
Review
Food in Gokarna 2/5
Resort 4/5
Om beach 5/5
