Leisure, warmth, and beauty describe Paradise Beach at its best.

Half Moon Beach (Meal option available here) From paradise beach we will trekking through the coast to Half-Moon beach. Isolated by a precipice from Om Beach, Half Moon Beach offers dazzling perspectives on the ocean. Dabbed with commonplace Indian style town hovels or shacks, the shoreline is the ideal spot for loosening up and unwinding. With umpteen hammocks set amidst trees, you have a splendid spot in the midst of nature.

Dolphin Point Between Half Moon beach and Om beach. Om beach is situated at a separation of roughly 8 km from the town of Gokarna. Two semi-sickle shapes that combine looking like the image ‘OM’ is the purpose for the name of the shoreline.

Sun Set Point and Om Beach From Om shoreline, we will trek through a little timberland to the ideal nightfall point alongside a stop at dolphin viewpoint.

Kudle Beach Reach Kudle beach through a picturesque route. Kudle shoreline is known for its style of seafood. There is a variety of sea food available which are cooked in their native style. As One of the Gokarna Beaches this beach is a favorite destination for foreigners, the local vendors also provide some foreign dishes in Indian style. We suggest you should try the Kudle beach pan cakes.

    Trekking to Gokarna is the eye treat .One of the best trek ever . The eye catching beaches and the natural beauty made my trek very joyous and wonderful . Thanks #Naturewalker for this amazing trip..special thanks to Hemant and Sai who helped us explore the scenic views of Gokarna
    #Nature walkers !!!

  4. Mahima Lokre

    It was my first trek and I enjoyed alot. Co-ordinator sharanya and lavanya was too good, they made all of us comfortable with each other and take care nicely.
    The bus journey was also awesome we enjoyed.
    The one thing which I can think can improve is food quality.
    Except this everything was too good, and I recommend people who are looking for trekking must go one time and should enjoy nature beauty.

  5. Anand kulkarni

    The trip was very well organised.The outdoor leads were in touch prior to the boarding too and made sure everyone is well looked after. The Gokarna trek was very beautiful and we got enough time to spend on each beach.The tents we stayed in were of very good quality and were just 30 meters away from the beach.Overall an amazing trek experience with nature walkers.

  6. Mahima Lokre

    It was a awesome experience. The coordinators was too good they help everyone to mingle with each other by playing game among us. It is great track who is planning to go first time for tracking. The whole journey was great and enjoyed alot.

  7. Rajiv Borar

    Overall it was a good experience. This was my first beach trek experience and I enjoyed a lot. Due to unexpected weather conditions we got delayed and we missed some of the activities like bonfire, dolphin. But even missing some things we enjoyed other things to the fullest.

  8. pranjal

    I along with 5 more friends took a trip to Gokarna on new year from 31st Dec’16 – 01 Jan’17.

    The trip was well organized. We trekked on the first day and covered Gokarna Beach, Paradise Beach, Half Moon Beach, Om Beach and Kudle Beach. Had beach fun at Paradise beach and spent the evening looking at sunset at Dolphin point near Om beach. These people are pros, took responsibility for our stay, food, transportation, and safety during the trip.

    Our camps were at the beach and that was the best part. Had a campfire and new year celebration midnight. The last thing we did before sleep was star gazing and the first thing we did after we woke up early morning was beach walk.

    Thanks for such a wonderful experience.

  9. Kiran Kumar

    As always, a great trek by nature walkers. looking forward to do more treks with you guys 🙂

    Gokarna Beach Trek –
    It gives me immense pleasure to share my experience about my first beach trek with such a big group or a rather wonderful bunch of nomads! Much appreciate the wonderful arrangements that Nature Walkers had made to make our experience an unforgettable one. The best thing about Nature Walkers is its people who are leaders in a true sense of the word – Not only they ensure people engagement but also take complete responsibility of your safety being extremely patient and stressfree at the same time and I must say it’s not a cake walk to manage a group of unknown people who come from different cultures, backgrounds and especially wavelength. Hats off to these beautiful people who don’t make you feel indifferent; rather ensure to make you part of the family!
    My special thanks to Hemant, Amrita, and Rahul for making my first group travel experience a truly memorable one!
    Looking forward to many more trips with you folks, you will always be my first choice.. and never an option 🙂

    Keep up the good work, guys! You ROCK 🙂

  11. Aastha Raj

    The trip was well organized covering all the five beaches (Gokarna Beach, Paradise Beach, Half Moon Beach, Om Beach and Kudle Beach) followed by camping in tents and campfire in front of Gokarna beach.

    Best Part – Evening @ Kudle Beach….watching the spectacular sunset was unforgettable. We were lucky enough to spot a rainbow too along with sunset 🙂 !!

    We were a large group but thanks to the organizers @Amrita @Hemant @Rahul, even the diverse set of participants gelled up so quickly.

    This was the first time with naturewalkers but now I can’t wait to go on the next trip with them.

    A trip to remember! Kudos to all the organizers! You guys are amazing!

  12. Subhranshu Mohanty

    Amazing trek with amazing people! It was an experience for a lifetime in just 48 hours. The return bus journey was memorable with peppy dance moves. Looking forward to doing many more treks with nature walkers.
    Kudos to nature walkers team. 😀

  13. Raghava

    While booking the trip I thought I was just planning a weekend getaway. Turns out, this is THE weekend getaway I’ve always wanted.
    Everything is exciting right from the bus journey to the bio-luminescence we luckily got to experience. Trekking across rocks and hills, with the best view of the beach on your side, rain to top it up and the perfect group to experience it, is by far the best mix of all the things that would satisfy the beach lover, trek lover and rain lover in me!
    To sum it up, Amazing experience. 🙂

  14. Lokesh Devnani

    This trip had much more than what I could’ve hoped for.
    I enjoyed every bit of it. Hiking through wet rocks, with beaches and greenery on the sides, rain over our heads and a cool breeze blowing all over. Even the bus journey was memorable. Not to forget the tutting combinations we came up with during our way back.
    With such an amazing company, this trip turned out to be super fun.

    Cheers to this happy weekend.

  15. Sowmya Kumar

    It was a mind blowing experience!! This trek helped me check some stuff off my checklist –
    ✓Beach trek
    ✓Monsoon trek
    ✓Sleeping in a tent (added advantage: at the sea shore!)
    ✓Campfire on the sea shore
    ✓✓✓The best part – BIOLUMINESCENT waves and sea!!! This was absolutely unexpected and supremely beautiful!

    Speaking of the outdoor leaders, they were really friendly, understanding, very accomodating, approachable and I loved their stories of their past trekking experiences!!

    I do not expect luxurious food or accomodation on a trek, and by that standard, the food and the stay was good!

    Must do! Unforgettable.

  16. Urmila Gumata

    It was an unforgettable and an amazing experience!! U guys rock 😘

  17. Shivam Upadhyay

    Awesome Awesome and Awesome.
    Thank you Nature Walkers (NW) for giving me a life time memory and a beautiful experience to share with everyone around me.
    Down the line after 10 – 15 years
    This will be one of my adventure stories that I will tell when I have my kids asking me what I did in myyoung age .
    Seriously, I regret why I waited 2 years to go with NW. Amrita and Hemant guys I am sorry for not being with you for these 2 years and with this one trip I now realize what all I missed in these 2 years and what I could have missed in future and what all I will achieve and witness in upcoming treks.
    NW have best of the best NW outdoor leaders, moreover they know how blend in with people and how to blend people with each other. So that no one feels alone and no one left alone.
    Our leader were PECULIAR Pavan , MAST Manoj , DAZZLING Deepak Kumar , MAGNIFICENT Misha , MASTER Mahesh
    Coming to trip experience -:
    It was far beyond my expectation a serene , soulful experience with this close to mother nature. IT IS MY BEST BEACH VIEW TILL NOW.
    following are my best memories from this trek walking at the edge of paradise beach mountain , sunset at om beach , night trek in torch light with playing horror songs GUMNAAM HAI KOI … .. HAHAHHAHA…
    tent stay on the beach , scintillating water due to glowing algae and campfire stories.
    While relaxing Whole night you can hear the waves and the very first thing you will see in the morning will be beach.
    Go though below links below to witness Gokarna from my eyes.

    It was a nice trek through some of the most scenic beaches in India. The best part is spotting the dolphins from the cliff on a glorious morning.

  20. akriti agarwal

    Amazing, fantastic awesome. Nature Walkers made my new year’s Eve really special. This was my first trekk in Bengaluru that to also when I was traveling alone, but as soon as I boarded the bus I didn’t feel I am alone. The arrangements of stay, logistics, food and exploration was amazing.
    Though we just had one day but we made most of it.
    A big shout out for the trekk leaders for their efforts and arrangements they made for this event.
    Kudos to nature walkers. Keep up the good work.
    And thumbs up for your NTP no trace policy , for keeping the nature clean.
