With tourism picking up in last few years in India and around the world, there are hardly any places left where you would not find flocks of people. Though I like the places which are buzzing, colourful and full of people, however once in a while you want to be just in your own company enjoying the serenity and calmness of a place without anyone around, isn't it? If you want that one place, that too beach side, "NIRVANA BEACH" on Karnataka coast is the answer.
Moreover the other famous beaches like Kudle, Gokarna, Half moon etc. are just a boat ride away; so if you feel too secluded and miss the buzzing cafes and crowds, you can very well escape to sample that easily!
Kilometres of golden sandy beach, until your eyes can see, with a few locals on the beach, hardly any tourists around, few fishing boats parked sparsely and the local kids enjoying their day to day lives, that's what Nirvana Beach is.

HOW TO REACH NIRVANA BEACH, GOKARNA
If you navigate this place on a boat, it is not far from the famous Kudle beach near Gokarna, however if you would like to reach by road, it is quite tedious but completely worth it!
When you look for a route in google, it will show you a ferry route, however in reality this ferry is closed for operations. So, all you have left is to drive a longer route of 45 kilometers which will take you at least an hour and a half due to extremely poor roads. Though the road conditions are poor, it is still completely worth it to go and stay here for a couple of days of complete secludedness and bliss!
THINGS TO DO IN NIRVANA BEACH, GOKARNA
Lounge around
You can enjoy lounging on the vast beach for couple of days easily without getting bored, in fact I can lounge here for a week easily just because of the fact that it gave me a feeling of such a high degree of secludedness and being on a private beach which I have never experienced anywhere else in India to date.
Catch dreamy sunsets & Long walks on the coast
Sunsets are the best here over the vast shores and blue skies! We ended up being on the beach daily to catch the sunsets for sure!
If you enjoy being active, there is no dearth of a track! The coast runs for miles which you can walk or jog during the morning or evenings.
Enjoy the nature in Nirvana Nature Reserve
The Nirvana Nature reserve, where we stayed itself is a place to explore with its in-house flora and fauna characterized by unusually giant toads, little ponds and tropical trees around.
Bonfire on the beach
You can get a Bonfire arranged on the beach with some food and drinks while enjoying the evening breeze on the shores. Again, given the remoteness, there is a great chance of the whole beach to yourself to enjoy another calm experience.
Take a day boat ride to enjoy beaches nearby
You can hire a boat from a local village to go around all the famous beaches like Kudle, Half Moon, Gokarna, Om, Paradise etc. Since these local hires are not usually for tourists, you really get a feel of exploring the sea with the locals, which is a different experience altogether.
