The trip
Six days on the Konkan coast, from slow, soulful Gokarna to easy-going South Goa. The trip leaves Bangalore on an overnight drive and starts in Gokarna: a day around its beachside cafés, an evening walk up Kudle hilltop for sunset over the cliffs, dinner at Mantra Cafe and a house party back at the stay. Next morning you drive up the coast to Goa, stopping for a beachside lunch on the way, with a sunset swim and a beach party once you arrive. The last full day is spent at Agonda, a quieter stretch of sand that suits kayaking, paddleboarding or surfing, before sunset and the old fort at Cabo de Rama and a farewell party. After a slow final morning, the overnight drive brings you back to Bangalore.
You travel as a small group with a trip captain throughout, in an AC tempo traveller or mini bus, and stay three nights in rooms on double or triple sharing: one night in Gokarna and two in Goa. Breakfasts are included on Days 2 to 5; lunches, dinners, water sports and any club or pub entries are paid on the spot.
