Bringing to you by Tripper Trails, the most fun way to spend the weekend if you are based out of Bengaluru. Backpack your way through unexplored and offbeat places in South India. 

Be a part of our community and find your tribe while you travel and discover places that are off the map. 

What do you visualize if we ask you about a weekend on a beach? We would not be surprised if you say Goa. And that’s precisely why we need an alternative to Goa, one which is away from the humdrum of life, one which brings peace and serenity for the weekend. 

This is precisely what Gokarna offers. If you are looking for a place for an escapade, to take a break after the week-long 9-5 office hours, and are tired of glancing at pictures of breathtaking beaches on your monitor, go ahead and pack your bags already. 

At a distance of about 500 km from Bangalore, is the sleepy temple town of Gokarna, more so known as the hippie town. While the famous Mahabaleshwara Temple is quite the attraction of the coastal town, unadulterated beaches overlooking the clear, blue Arabian Sea, adventurous treks, cuisines from all over the world, and the hippie culture are what we seek and find solace in, at Gokarna. Whether you would like to meet new people, enjoy a dance under the night sky, or just take a walk alone beside the glowing phytoplanktons under a dark sky, Gokarna has it all.

Highlights:

1. Discover the offbeat places of South India while you get a welcoming break from your routine and the city. 

2. Meet people who match your vibe and find your tribe, forge new friendships, and be a part of the most loved backpacking community. This is your chance to find a home in the city. 

3. We plan all the logistics, and all you have to do is come on the trip and have a great time! You never need to worry about the nuances of planning. 

4. Get to know the local communities, have local food, and enjoy the cultural diversity that each place you visit brings. 

5. Backpack over the weekend with expert trip captains who will be there to guide you throughout the entire trip. 

6. Transportation is available throughout the trip, right from your pickup point in Bangalore until you are dropped off at the end of your journey. 

7. Comfortable accommodations and a hassle-free journey where you get a chance to bond with your fellow travellers. 

8. Bonfire and musical nights amidst the trip to unwind and relax, or simply have fun!
