What do you visualize if we ask you about a weekend on a beach? We would not be surprised if you say Goa. And that’s precisely why we need an alternative to Goa, one which is away from the humdrum of life, one which brings peace and serenity for the weekend. This is precisely what Gokarna offers. If you are looking for a place for an escapade, to take a break after the week-long 9-5 office hours and are tired of glancing at pictures of breath- taking beaches on your monitor, go ahead and pack your bags already. At Dandeli, whether you delve into a weekend of adventure through the unexplored trails of the Western Ghats or engage yourself in watersports; you wouldn’t run out of fun things to do.
