Jog Falls, Gokarna

After a long halt of about 5 months I set out again. Anshu called me up for weekend drive to Jog Falls, and then to Gokarna beach. We started from Bangalore by early 5am on 30th September 2007. We took the Tumkur Highway. From Tumkur we hit on the NH206 to Shimoga. The driving was amazing since due to rain everywhere it was green. We reached Jog Falls by 12 noon.
We descended down to have the majestic feel of the falls. Since it was just after rains the falls was totally looking grandeur.

We again started to reach Gokarna. While driving through the western ghats clouds did totally covered up the view. They were everywhere even inside our cars. By evening we were in Gokarna. If you want some cheap and good stay try out to be beach shacks. The rates were not more than Rs 60 per night. And due to its existense on the beach u cant afford to loose the view. We had dinner in the shacks only Bangra fish fry n -OH sips :-). Next day morning we decided to do the trek. We started from Om Beach, covered Paradise beach and the Moon beach. The beaches are so beautiful. There were not a single other person in the beach. I felt due to inhabitance its beauty is still remained intact. After walking some 9kms through the hills we felt really tired and broken down. Then we decided to take an auto to reach Gokarna. And in the evening some nce shopping. We were back to our shacks. The food served was the need of the hour. We ate like hell and slept like babies :).
