I visited gokarna last year, A wonderfull place with fresh beaches.people there are so concerned about travellers.we were trecking two islands carrying our baggage and a case pint of beers and then finally made a tent house in the island near halfmoon beach.The place was undescribable such a wonderfull place on earth.we stayed there for two nights and three days the place was so peacefull and enjoyable.The beaches over there are awesome to hangout for couples.You get fresh fish over there dont forget to eat.once in a lifetime vist gokarna guys.
