You can start from kudle and cover the adjecent beaches. And if starting from Om beach,paradise and half moon beach can be trekked. For Transport you will find plenty options from rented bikes to autos. 3 out of the 5 beaches have restos available. So find food would not be any issue

I have no number of any resort, you can search over internet. But yes, you can stay over night the beach, You have to Carry your own tent and other useful stuffs, I saw many people in tents... Happy Journey

Paradise beach is a secluded beach. People do camp here overnight. There are no facilities here. No shops and all You will have to carry tent and food and water to camp here

We were there for 2 days and if you plan it out, that is quite sufficient for sightseeing. But if you want my opinion, I would suggest 3-4 days where you could finish the beach trek in a day; water sports and some sightseeing around another day; the rest sightseeing, a trip to nirvana, loitering around, fooding, shopping, etc. for the next 2 days.

First of all this isnt the ideal time 2 visit Gokarna as there will be hot & sultry weather or they will be rain. So beach trekking may be quite dangerous. so be prepared for that. There are 5 elusive beaches to visit in Gokarna, those are from north to south- Gokarna beach, Kuddle beach, Om beach, Half moon beach & lastly paradise beach. First 3 beaches are motorable but last two are not. U need to trek through a difficult pathway besides the sea to reach half moon beach from om beach. There are no path directions anywhere, from halfmoon u need to trek for another 30-35 minutes to reach paradise beach. This last trek is basically very cumbersome & difficult. Carry atleast 3-4 L water/head to make this trek. There are no habitations in the last 2 beaches. Now there are no boat services either.

The truth is, you have next to impossible chances of spotting phytoplanktons on a full moon. They are generally visible only on a new moon. The reason is, a new moon night is darker than any other lunar phase, and hence there's no other light reflecting from the water body. This gives a clear view of phytoplanktons in the water. Plus, one cannot predict the appearance of phytoplanktons either. I believe it's a matter of pure luck. When we were in Gokarna, my roommate and a couple of her friends went all the way to Nirvana beach to see phytoplanktons. Sadly, not only did they not see them there, but it also appeared near Om beach, which was way closer than Nirvana beach.

This is an isolated beach.. You have to reach this beach on foot (via trek) or by boat.. You can park your vehicle near Belkan beach and then trek down to Paradise beach. There are no shacks here. You can perhaps buy drinks somewhere else and then bring it here (Though I wouldn't advise you to do so..as this beach is not a party place)

Its a small but beautiful isolated beach which would be perfect for camping and hence i think you would need to get a permission or something from the local police or someone(not sure who) and even if you get permission to camp do make sure that you camp during a full moon night as you can see the "Phytoplankton" .

Hi Shashank! The trek from beleken beach to paradise beach is a relatively easy trek. There is a proper trail which you need to follow and it takes around 15-20 min to cover the distance. It's through a forest and if you take the trail, you won't get lost. However, the trek from paradise to half-moon beach has a lot of trails and one could easily get lost there. So I would suggest not to travel alone. And don't miss the sunrise at the beleken beach, it is amazing!
