Trek & Camp at Gokarna Beach by BMC

Two Day Treks by Bangalore Mountaineering Club

INR 4620

(including GST)

Overview

Beaches are quiet and peaceful, making them the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves and the sun's warmth. Relaxing on a beach can provide you with endless benefits for both the body and mind. Having stated this it’s a common misconception that beach lovers are generally tourists, but all this is about to change.

Gokarna beach trek is a dream destination for travelers with miles of golden sand beaches, jagged cliffs, outstanding view of sunset, undiscovered coves and quaint temples. The long sandy stretches of Om Beach and Kudle Beach are a delight for every beach lover.

We arrive at Gokarna main beach at the golden hour to soak in the beauty of the Arabian sea and seemingly infinite horizon. After freshening up we reach Belekan beach from where we begin the trek. We trek route through Paradise Beach, also known as full moon beach. The beauty about this beach apart from being really clean is the surreal beauty that it holds. Since the only way to reach this beach is through trekking or hiring a boat, it instantaneously turns into a trekkie’s paradise as well.

The next beach we reach as we continue our trek is the Half Moon Beach. If you are daring person who loves to stand at the edge of a cliff or a person who likes to chill on hammocks, this is the beach for you.

As we continue our trek the sun slowly reaches out for the horizon and sunset is what we watch out for. No matter how many beautiful sunsets you’ve witnessed, Om Beach has a sunset that is truly worth craving for. If you are a foodie then Kudle Beach will tickle your taste buds with their exotic seafood menu and is quite popular with local and international tourists. As the day slowly comes to an end we finally reach the Main Beach.

Terms & Conditions

- Alcohol is strictly prohibited on BMC events such as trekking, camping, mountaineering.
- Trekking is an activity where there are more than 50% chances of facing uncertainty, as you see we always write Tentative Schedule, on treks, its very difficult to make people walk with the speed we want. Also because the vehicles we hire are not regular on route vehicles like KSTDC which can guarantee us the time it takes to reach.
- Weather conditions, wildlife movements, permission changes are not in our hand, often we are forced to change the itinerary, distance or place. But if for some reason we cancel the event we offer 100% refund to all the participants.
- All participants registering for the trek should be trekkers! Which means the participant should have minimum fitness, stamina and the ability to sustain harsh environments. We have experienced few picnic crowds registering for treks by mistake (Crowd which demands changing room, restroom, bedroom, shower, porters etc.) We request not to register if you are not OK carrying your own required items, which include: Your personal backpack, sleeping bags and common items like food, tents etc distributed equally among the group.
- We are dependent on third-party transport agency; we dont have direct control over the vehicle, vehicle drivers. Issues pertaining to pick up and drop times or quality of bus are quite rare. If you are too specific please check before registering.
- We cannot guaranty availability of restrooms where we do night camping. But for everybodys convenience, we try our best to reach a place where people can freshen up.
- While utilizing campsite all trekkers have to be responsible for cleaning the place (after and before using). Disposing waste such as plastic, aluminum foil or making a fire using non-degradable material is strictly prohibited on BMC events.
- We request every trekker to be conscious of nature and not let his/her convenience disturb the surrounding.
- We expect every trekker to be respectful towards Nature, local people/tribals.
- We have designated pick up and drop points, make your own arrangements of transports to the desired pick-up point accordingly. It took more than 4 years for us to make our departure on time which was possible since we started leaving all late comers behind in Bangalore.
- For cancellation of participation, we will pay your refund as per our cancellation policy.
- There is a different permission charge for Foreigner & the difference amount should be paid by the participant on spot.
- BMC will not be responsible for any loss of belongings during the trek, transfers, porter or any Logistics.
- In a case of damage or loss of any of the BMC equipment or property, a responsible member has to bear the cost.
- There is no consideration, priorities, discounts to even our close friends, but on times we reward participants with free or discounted treks for their outstanding leadership/volunteer ship during treks.
- All our events are built on Teamwork methodology. Our coordinators presence in the event is to lead the event, make sure that things are going as per plan, schedule, and safety. Also, its fun to pitch tents, collect firewood from the forest, cook food etc.
- Trekking is a life skill of exploring the nature in the natural way which gives you an experience of surviving in nowhere and with nothing. Try to gain the maximum of that experience, test the limits of your physic and mind.
- All our arrangements are very basic; we do not/can not provide luxury on such events. Our accommodations are many times: Sleeping bags and Tents, Dormitories, room with no beds and sometimes just sleeping bags under the glittering sky.
- To keep proper track of participants and keep them updated time to time, we require each and every participant to read through these points and then register.
- We do not have control over online registration head count, on times we get many registrations than max head count, in that case, we have to request last overbooked members to accept refunds or switch to another trek.
