Day 3 : Gokarna

A day mostly to relax, but with time to visit Mahabaleshwar temple. Perhaps one of the reasons Gokarna is so popular with spiritual seekers is that the beach itself is contained within a rocky promontory in the shape of an Om symbol. Sunset along this coast is routinely spectacular as the sun sinks into the Arabian Sea. Overnight in Gokarna.
