Gokarna is one of the holy places for Hindu pilgrimages. Thousands of people visit Gokarna every year to attend the rituals and various festivals. Gokarna is not just a place of pilgrims and rituals. It has enormous tourist attractions, including beaches, water sports, the architectural sites of temples, and many more.

The weather in the city is not very cold. It has a 32-degree Celcius temperature in the winter season from December to February. This is why most people turn their heads toward Gokarna at this time of the year.

We don't arrange our Gokarna holiday packages on the festival dates unless the trip is about the rituals. From May to August, you may face monsoon, which is not going to be an apt time for your trip to Gokarna as a tourist.

Piyalius's 3 days trip to Karnataka

a year ago
Amazing experience with the travel planning, places planned for visit and the travel company. Driver Rajith was amazing and our experience with him made the trip memorable. The hotels in Udupi and Murudeshwar were awesome with amazing services. The Udupi cottage was very well maintained considering there was only 1 person running the entire show. The food was just very very tasty. The stay in Murudeshwar in RN Residency just made the trip something to remember. Food was very tasty too. Gokarna hotel was extremely poorly maintained. We changed rooms because the fan was not working in the room provided and it was on the 2nd floor. My mother could not walk up and down. There was no lift. The rooms below was bad as it was full of mosquitoes. My elder son and husband both got dengue after coming back. The dinner and breakfast buffet was awful but the alacarte lunch was only something worth remembering. Overall, the trip was good considering Rajith's hospitality and Udupi and Murudeshwar stays. Thanks to Shyam Mishra and Mukesh for planning the trip well.

Shashank's 4 days trip to Karnataka

Hi, Now we get call from Travel Triangle executive only for money. My trip was arranged by Blissful Journey through Travel Triangle. I say thanks to executive of Blissful Journey for arranging the trip and the executive (Gagan) was in contact also during the whole trip. This was my fourth trip through Travel Triangle. Travel Triangle was not prompt in providing quotations initially. I had to call Sujata for providing quotations. This time response was not as per expectation from Travel Triangle. We expect better service from Travel Triangle. Jog Falls, Krishna Math (Udupi), Om Beach (Gokarna), Konkan Railway

Madhukar's 7 days trip to Karnataka

2 years ago
The trip was arranged nicely . The hotels were good except Camp 21. They were not ready to receive guests even at 2030 hrs. The provisions in the room were not sufficient . We have to ask for their help for small things. The itinerary needs a relook as we were on the beaches at afternoon in Gokarna and also on the way to Mangalore. In Mangalore we did not see any beach e.g.the confluence of river and the sea. These are small irritants. Otherwise the trip went very well. The stay at Hill View home stay was excellent .Hats off to Aishwarya for her co-operation and the arrangements. We did not have any problem at hotels. The cab service was smooth and comfortable . The driver Keshava was soft and helpful. Dealings with Aishwarya on phone were nice and reassuring.
