While people plan for hill station to cool themselves up during summer, i choose to travel alone towards the beaches.
Overall an 710km bus ride from Mumbai to Gokarna is indeed a weekend getaway spot. Landed up early morning itself and took a short shared auto ride with fellow solo traveler to reach Zostel. It was pitch dark when i entered into the Zostel Campus and as we saw the first sunlight sitting in the yard while chit-chatting with other Zosteller (People who stay's in Zostel). We all were stunned and couldn't take our eyes off from that beautiful view, with every minute and every ray of sunlight the view was just more than breathtaking.
We took a long walk around the beach, as we could easily see fisherman catching up fishes and we couldn't resist ourselves to help them out and get into action.As we explored the beach and town for a short while in early morning itself,we rented up bike's to take a spin around the place. It was time to head back to dorm and get fresh, as sun was in its full mood to tan us up.
The best part of Zostel is you can chill yourselves up even if you land up early even before your check in time. As everywhere else, the common area was lit af and was covered up with all indoor games and stuff.
Trust me it was 40℃ on that day and it was hard to spot a person hanging around the town during noon hrs. We were all sitting under shades and to beat the time we played "Jenga". It was one of the most intense game which i ever played. This was the moment when i realized, this day gona past like this just chillaxing here but i was wrong.....
We drove up towards kudle beach to get a glimse of sunset and were fortunate to hit the beach at the very right moment, as the beach is well wrapped up in middle of jungle area.
As the sun goes down we were just sitting up there and watching another day go pass by, which was full of meeting new strangers and end up becoming friends.
Do plan up your trip in such a way, that you should land up in gokarna on Full-Moon Day. So reason to say this is because, as i rode towards OM beach from Kudle the very first view of the magnificent OM Beach will leave you speechless. It was all lit up in that moonlight and all i could do is climb on the rocks near the shore and let the time sink into my memories. Tried taking up few pics of the place but its rightly said Camera never does the justice for the mesmerizing beauty of the place.
Stayed up until mid-night at this place, where we had nice time at this "Namaste Cafe" just beside the beach. Promised myself to be back at this beach the very next day to take nice clicks and take a boat ride towards the "Paradise Beach"
With that said it was end of an quiet surprising day where i thought i would be alone travelling places in Gokarna but ended with fellow solo traveller around our India. Lets see what happens up in Day 2 of my trip in next blog, till then....
Carry Less,Travel More!!!!
