Route guide: Bangalore to Gokarna
Gokarna is about 480 km from Bangalore on the Uttara Kannada coast, a nine-hour drive best done as a three-day trip. The most scenic Urbania route goes through Tumakuru and Shivamogga to Sagar, stops at Jog Falls, India's second-highest plunge waterfall, and then descends the ghat to Honnavar on the coast before running north through Kumta. Gokarna town is built around the Mahabaleshwar Temple, an important pilgrimage site, while its beaches lie to the south: Gokarna main beach, Kudle, Om Beach, and Half Moon and Paradise beaches, which are reached by cliff trails or short boat rides. The Urbania can drive to Kudle and Om Beach car parks. Murudeshwar, with its giant Shiva statue and seaside temple tower, is about 75 km south and fits on the return. Local running of around 100 km is included in the 1,050 km estimate.
Good stops on the way
- Tumakuru (breakfast)
- Shivamogga (lunch)

Best time to visit Gokarna
October to March is the best time, with calm seas and pleasant beach weather. Jog Falls is most dramatic during and just after the monsoon (July to October), though the ghat roads are wet and slow then. April and May are hot and humid on the coast, and swimming is unsafe in the monsoon.
