All about the Gokarna, Dandeli & Murudeshwar (3D/4N – Long Weekend Special Trip).

Hello Adventure seekers!

Presenting 6 in 1 Special Trip to Gokarna, Dandeli, Murudeshwar, Vibhooti, Nirvana Beach and Mirzan fort for the 3 Days long weekend.

Dandeli is an ideal weekend getaway in north Karnataka for those who love nature & water activities. The town is surrounded by thick forests and rich vegetation where rare animals and birds roam in deep valleys and hilly terrain. On the banks of Kali river, Dandeli is truly a fascinating mix of wildlife, scenic beauty and adventure sports.

Different water adventure sports in Dandeli include –
White Water Rafting, Zorbing, Swimming, Boating, Ziplining, Kayaking

Each activity above costs between 100 to 350 INR. White Water Rafting costs approx. 600 rupees. We have a window to enjoy whichever watersports you wish to do based on their availability at that time. You may avail these sports directly by paying cash over there.

Important notes on rafting:
The status of White Water Rafting – whether it will happen or not – will only be announced by Forest/Dam authorities on Saturday morning.
No travel company can promise it beforehand 100%.

The next day, we will visit magnificent Vibhooti Waterfalls of western ghats to take a dip under chilling fresh mountain water. There’s something magical about waterfalls that will refresh your senses and instantly make you happy. This experience is simply rejuvenating.

We shall have a pit stop at Mirzan Fort and give a visit to temple town Murudeshwar which is sitting pretty on the west coast. A beautiful sunset at Murudeshwar beach is icing on the cake.

Gokarna is easily the most famous destination in Karnataka. There are famous Beaches like Om Beach and Kudle Beach. The interesting thing is, there are also 5 offbeat beaches that can only be reached by trek like Paradise Beach and Half Moon Beach.

Is it like hopping from one beach to another? Not so simple! These Beaches are separated by hills covered with forest. One has to climb up the hill, trek through the woods and reach the next beach. A Beach Trek. Sounds exciting, eh?

Come, join Muddie Trails on this exciting journey to Gokarna, Dandeli, Vibhooti, Nirvana and Murudeshwar!
