Been here at Kudle a week now, boy I am falling in love with this place, although it is really too hot now. I am dripping as I write this! God knows how many gallons of water I am drinking! Have met some lovely people, lots of French, a couple of English guys and a few Israeli's. Some fit finnish boys too - Lord of the Rings - Eat your heart out! Have started doing a spot of Yoga on the balcony at midday, with my neighbour Merlin, his mum is a yoga teacher he's very good! Looking forward to it later. Got bitten alive by mossies the other night..... covered in bites, nothing will stop them itching! Used the mossie net and everything but must have got me when I was out... also spotted a ... read more

5 hour train journey to Gokarna, taxi to Kudle Beach - well, not quite....Dropped off on the headland overlooking the bay, impossible to access this beach except by boat or by foot. Ken went down to suss out the accommodation, returned 20 mins later, red of face and short of breath, with a young strip of a lad in tow to help with the luggage. Smiling broadly, the boy grabbed the holdall, hoisted one suitcase onto his head and indicated for Ken to pile the other suitcase on top - he declined, too shaming to burden the boy with all our worldly belongings....so we stumbled after the lad down a steep gully in a boulder strewn ravine and emerged onto The Beach......it could easily have been used as location for the film of the same name ... read more

Hey All! So, we made the 10hour journey to Gokarna - on a bus aswell!! but this time it was much less hair-raising - well, we think it was, couldn't actually see where we were going as we were in a bunk-bed of a little shoebox all the way....managed to sleep lots as a result though....it's deffinately the way forward we think! What a lovely village, set by the sea and surrounded by lush jungle and with only villagers, pilgrims and the odd backpacker for company - oh and dont forget the cows and bugs! We found a fantastic little place to stay across the road from the beach (100RS just over 1GBP per night) - the cheapest yet!....pics will explain why, but hey, that's the aim of the game. Actually despite first looks, it was ... read more

we went to gokarna for a few days and really wished we had gone there for longer. This place is great we stayed in a guest house called gnesh in a little room that was like an outdoor shed, it was rustic but colourful. The vibes here were great, met a girl called bronywin who was from manchester and a great laugh and jeremy that tried to teach me to juggle who we got quite drunk with on our last night. Everyone was really friendly and the beaches were the best ive seen so far. We walked one day to paradice beach which turned into an all day rock climb. We stopped at half moon beach on the way, it was nice because there was no one there to hassle you. Was abit of a surprise ... read more

Hello everybody!Come vanno le feste appena iniziate? Noi siamo tornati di nuovo sulla costa, dopo la splendida esperienza di Hampi, tutta storia, templi gran camminate e scimmie! Ora siamo in una graziosa cittadina sulla costa, dove staremo fino al 1 gennaio, si perche' anche qua gli spostamenti sotto le feste sono da evitare, Loro sono gia' un miliardo, aggiungi qualche milione di turisti e tutto si riempe! Gokarna e' una citta' religiosa, la piu' sacra dell'india del sud, con le sue case di legno, tanti templi e le processioni continue e' davvero interessante. Comunque in India non ci si annoia sicuro. qua e' un misto di bhramini, studiosi di sanscrito, gente alla ricerca di una qualche cura ayurvedica, hippy old style e tanti viaggiatori anche. Per arrivare un altro viaggetto molto confortevole , 10 ore di ... read more

Nameste! It has been a while since I have blogged and lots of happened, I have been in a bus crash, got a tattoo and been into the mountains. Currently I am back in the state of Karnataka. I am on the coast near Gokarana, at Cudle and Om Beach. It is all very beautiful and very laid back, not too many people,and perfect weather. The accomodation is rudimentaray, but reflected in the low price. A room is 100 rupees (about $2.95). The bathroom is just a concrete room and it is strictly buckets of cold water. I am right on the beach and wake to the sound of the waves every morning. But, I need to start where I left off on the last blog! Since then I have been to Allepy, Fort Cochin and ... read more
