Seasonal variations:
- Feb to May (summer): Clear views, amazing sunsets. A warm climate throughout the day, an ideal time to take a dip in the sea and go swimming. Vibhooti has enough water to take a refreshing dip. Mirjan turns very dry and Yana caves are okay.Ā
- June to mid-Oct (monsoon months): Itās a wild and wet season for Gokarna. Trekkers arenāt allowed to enter the Sea because of the high tide. The rains will hit hard. Itās a good time to chill out and enjoy the beauty of the place. Need raincoats for the trek. Mirjan Fort is very beautiful, Vibhooti waterfalls and Yana caves in the jungle give a thrilling wild experience.
- Oct to Jan (winter): Misty weather, peaceful sunsets, pleasant weather during days, cold nights. A good amount of water at Vibhooti. Best time for Yana caves. Mirzan fort is okay.
