We had a great day out. Saw a lot of fantastic scenery both mountains and beaches. Also the tour of the temples in Gogar and was most informative.

I was picked up 5am, on time for the exciting Yana Gokarna tour. After picking the other tourists we began the drive to Karnataka. First stop Ankara for a fabulous traditional Indian breakfast, and plenty of it. Tea coffee, water, toilet and washing facilities were clean I suggest you carry tissue ect as this is not provided. Plenty of time to enjoy breakfast and chat to the other tourists. Next stop Yana, located in the western ghats. UNESCO world heritage site famous for its gigantic spectacular natural rock formation. This was absolutely stunning, just like walking into another world. There are a few steps here as you will see in the pictures but not much to worry about if you have mobility problems. Mobility problems do vary if you are concerned you can speak with Emma who I know will be happy to advise. I have had 2 knee replacement, one recent and I did not encounter any problems. Next stop Gokarna, an ancient city sacred to pilgrims who flock in their millions each year. Apparently sometimes called Varanasi of the south. My personal opinion is that it is not like Varanasi, I have been there. For me Gokarna has its own personality, beauty, charm and exquisiteness and does not need to be compared. The most holy spot is Kotitirtha, a man made lake believed to be a sacred bathing place to cleanse your sins You certainly experience the real India here. Absolutely stunning. Gokana was my personal favourite place of this day and I would have liked more time to explore. Next stop Kudle beach for lunch. A beautiful restaurant right on the amazing beach front. The food was excellent value not expensive however the alcohol was expensive. Plenty of time to relax, enjoy the meal chat with the others and take in the lovely views. Next on to Cabo de Ramo Cancona South Goa for the sunset. Unfortunately for us due to weather conditions on the day no sunset but it certainly didn’t stop us from enjoying the stunning views. Lawrence the guide found us a fantastic restaurant right on the front were we enjoyed a drink or two. Ohh what a perfect day, I’m glad I booked with Emazingtours. I enjoyed every second. Emma is second to none, professional and knows her stuff! Lawrence the guide , helpful, and knowledgeable. The driver very careful experienced in driving on the Indian roads. I would definitely recommend this tour though Emazing tours, you can’t go wrong. Exceptional value
