Srikshetra Gokarna is one of the holiest places in India. The Father of universe Parashiva is in Gokarna in the form of Athmalinga. The temple is located on the sea shore of the western sea. The Almighty, famous as Mahabaleshwara is also known as the Sarvabhouma. This is also the place, where the most revered Hindu saint Adi Shankaracharya, who spread the spiritual knowledge from South to North all over India, established ShreeRamachandrapuraMath, the sacred and saintly Jagadguru Peetam. 

OM Beach:

This beach gets its name from its shape of “Om” when viewed aerially.

Kudle Beach:

Visiting this beach is like discovering a lost paradise, away from the cacophony of the modern world.

Gokarna Beach:

This beach is the closest to the town and is a place for hippie gatherings with incessant happy sounds of drums, hammocks and guitars pervading the breezy atmosphere.

Half Moon Beach

This crescent shaped reclusive beach cradles amid greenery and isolation. One must cover a short trek up the hill to reach this beach majorly devoid of human settlements.

Paradise Beach

This small, secluded beach perfectly lives up to its name. One has to either take a ferry or trek to the beach for a laidback private beach experience.
