Om Beach Gokarna

... I arrived in Gokarn I met some follow countryman, the first brits I've spoken to since I've been in India. I shared a taxi with them to Om beach which is around 6km south of Gokarn village. We found accommodation straight away at the Namaste guest houses ...

... be "good" but the "spirit" is now gone or the vibe is lost. They feel that the place is "ruined". I come to a place like OM beach in Gokarna and realize that this is one of the places I can say "I was there before..." It's "end" seems to be near as a ...

... we arrived in Gokarna and on the basis of a couple of conversations with people decided to stay in Gokarna town itself rather than go to Om Beach, as it was full.    We hadn't seen another cyclist in India - until yesterday that is, ...

After ten days we have finally dragged ourselves away from Om beach...undoubtedly the most beautiful beach i have seen in india and the main reason for my lack of travel blogs!  The beach gets its name from the perfect om shape (kind of like a 3) ...

A welcome rest after a long week of travelling from one town to another, day after day. Om Beach is beautiful and a great place to recharge the batteries and unwind. There is nothing at all to do here other than sunbathe, read, play cards and cool down ...

... (nunca llegaré a acostumbrarme a los baches y los ataúdes) y algo accidentado (nos hicieron pagar de más, ¡NO a GASNESH TRAVELS!), llegamos a Om Beach tempranito. Andy decidió dormir y Eva y yo fuimos a desayunar a la playa y a fichar hoteles. De paso, ya ...

... parading across me, and hear a rooster crowing from the porch of the restaurant and then remember, oh yes- I'm in India!  Om beach was literally like being on Old McDonald's farm. Animals seemed to be everywhere, which means so was their poop ...

... and much happier than the ones we encounter on the streets of Indian cities ... and we are hanging out with them on Om Beach. We're planning on spending the week here and attending Shivaratri Festival which takes place in the village of Gokarna from ...

... , intense moment that I savored. But we were not going to Goa, not this day anyway. Behind us about 40 kilometres was Gokarna, and Om beach, shaped as it is like the auspicious Hindu "Om" symbol.  For the time being Om beach was our sanctuary, as it ...

... of many very large lumps of rock portruding into the sea and (as a fortunate side-effect) enclosing a series of small and serene beaches in their midst. Arriving late, we spent the first night in Gokarna but prepared to move to OM beach the next day.

On the way up, we stopped short of the imfamous party city of Goa in smaller, holy town of Gokarna.. There I had chance to ride a camel on the beach. It was relatively deserted.

... ankom med baad til Om Beach da solen stod op, hvilket gjorde at det lignede paradis. Det viste sig at holde stik.  Om beach var en lang hvid strand uden for mange mennesker men trods alt med lidt liv. Det var helt anderledes fra Goas ...
