Crossing the river in Gokarna


This was a hair raising moment when I crossed the river in Gokarna to go to Kumta. This Enfield is heavy maybe around 200kgs and it took three of us to get into this little boat. On the other side it had to be lifted up about 1 meter which nearly broke our backs.

Yana 100kls from Gokarna..


These two huge rocks are to found 25kls into the jungle on a gravel path. There are temples carved into the rocks and it is a pilgrimage destination for Hindus.



This is the larger of the two rocks and they are completely isolated from anything else. There is just jungle all round for 360%.



This was the path which was approx 25kls to the rocks in the middle of the jungle.

In search of Honey Beach.


We watched as the two gentlemen put the bail of straw on this lady's head, it seemed kind of heavy as it took two men to lift it onto hear head.



This is Honey beach, after a trek of almost 20kms we eventually found it.



I spent a few weeks with these two lovely girls and we hung out together. We had a great time and sometimes it was a squeeze getting the three of us on the bike.
