Quick trip to Gokarna!
Seagulls
White breasted Kingfishers
White bellied blue flycatchers
Swallows
Brahmini Kites (like how we sight Black Kites in Bangalore)
Grey herons
Egrets
Rock pigeons
Bull bulls
Travel tips:
Take swimwear along.
Pair of flip-flops/slip-ons
Shoes for trekking
Sunscreen lotion
Dark glasses
Cap/Hat
Couple of Bedspreads will come in handy while relaxing on beach (you can buy them on the beach close to Namaste café also)
Water bottle (optional)
Torch
Toiletries
Mahabaleshwar temple:
Gokarna beach is located close to the town and unlike the other beaches it's not a sequestered beach . It's crowded with pilgrims taking sacred bath in the sea to attain atonement before visiting the famous Mahabaleshwar temple.
MAHABALESHWAR TEMPLE DOME
Atma linga of Mahabaleshwar temple has a very enchanting story associated with it. I have been very fascinated with this story for years now. You can read the story here.
Everything about this town is very quaint- temples, narrow roads, shops, people, houses, etc.. Language spoken here is so musical to ears and people are very generous.
SADHU BABA ON KUDLE BEACH
We visited the popular Ganapati and Mahabaleshwar temples and offered prayers before making our way back home.
It was definitely one of the most joyous trips I've ever been on.
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL!!
