It was 2015 and I had randomly booked myself on a Jaipur to Ernakulam train and after spending a week or so enjoying the charms of monsoon in Goa decided to catch a bus to Karwar. From Panjim bus stand, it was surprisingly easy to find a KSRTC bus and it hardly took 2 and a half hours to reach Karwar bus stand. After hanging around in Karwar, observing the flower sellers and enjoying a quick bite at one of the numerous Iyengar bakeries in town, it was time to catch a bus from Karwar to Gokarna.

The distance between Karwar to Gokarna is 61 kms and it took almost 2 hours.




In Gokarna, it was a lucky day to hitch a ride and get dropped somewhere close to Om Beach.






After a day or so trying to blend in to see or experience the so called hippie vibe of Gokarna, it seemed just natural to explore the town and perhaps live like a local. The food scene of Gokarna is quite legendary!




The rest of the days in Gokarna were spent just ambling around, eating satisfying meals at small eateries and relishing the essence of doing nothing and feeling great about it!
