Must-see attractions

　　One of Karnataka's best beaches, Gokarna has a famous stretch of sand that twists and turns over several kilometres to resemble the outline of an Om symbol.

　　Gokarna’s main town beach isn’t clean and isn't good for casual bathing. The main section is popular with domestic tourists, but if you walk away from here to the north you’ll find a long stretch of sand that seems to go forever. There's some surf here in season (November to...
