| About Gokarna Tourism |
|
Go-karna,
means 'cow's ears' in Sanskrit. According to legends, Lord Shiva
emerged from a cow's ear and so the name. It is located at the meeting
point of the two rivers Gangavali and Agnashini, which is shaped like an ear. Gokarna is a town of paradox - a holy center contrasted by it being a popular beach destination. A place said to have been the center for India's ancient Ganja culture, it is known today, for being a holy city, housing the famous Shiva temple where you can find the Aatma Lingam enshrined. Gokarna is one of the seven muktisalas or pilgrimage centers of Karnataka, and has been venerated even by the Nayanmar saints in their Tamil hymns.

| Overview of the destinationWaste of time and money. Food, sight-seeing and shopping You will get locally available seafood and local wines from Chateau Indage, who claim to be a producer of fine wines, but honestly you could Activities & things to do Spa, Yoga, Meditation, relaxation. But honestly you could go anywhere for that, even go to kerala might work out cheaper with better amenities and more Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. I stayed there and they don't have beacon/sausages on breakfast!! Take the same money, go to a four star in goa and get 10 times |  Brian, Bangalore | 24th January 2007
