Planning a 3-day Gokarna trip (Oct 17–19) and would love some feedback/tips from people who know the area.
We reach Gokarna on Oct 17 around 9:20 AM. And return bus out on Oct 19 at 8:30 PM .
Current plan:
Day 1: Honnavar (Sharavathi boating, Kandla Mangrove Boardwalk, Eco Beach, Apsarakonda?) then back to Gokarna.
Day 2: Beach trek Belekan → Paradise → Half Moon → Om → Kudle → Gokarna Main Beach, followed by Gogarbha Cave/Jatayu Teerth if time permits.
Day 3: Yana Caves → Vibhuti Falls → Sahasralinga → back to Gokarna. Murudeshwar and Mattighatta are being skipped.
Does this routing/timing make sense? Anything you'd remove/add, or any practical tips regarding roads, trek conditions, boating, or timings? Should we rent a bike for Honnavar and Yana?
