Mahabaleshwar Temple, Gokarna
Gokarna, Karnataka
The 4th-century shrine of the Atmalinga — the 'Kashi of the South' — where Ravana's boon-linga rooted itself forever, steps from the sacred town beach.

Gokarna Beach
Gokarna, Karnataka
A temple town where pilgrim lanes meet hippie coves — the sacred Mahabaleshwar shrine at one end and the palm-backed crescents of Kudle, Om, Half Moon and Paradise beaches strung south along laterite cliffs. Goa's mellow, unhurried younger sibling.
Mirjan Fort
Kumta, Karnataka
A moss-velveted 16th-century laterite fort of Queen Chennabhairadevi — the 'Pepper Queen' who ruled the spice coast — glowing green after the rains.

Vibhooti Falls
Ankola, Karnataka
A limestone-country cascade tumbling in tiers into pale-green pools near Yana — an easy jungle walk, natural water-slides and swim holes.
