Less touristy than Gokarna {and therefore, less expensive}, Karwar boasts of unspoiled beaches, a few historic sites and if your travel to the interiors you can also tour wildlife sanctuaries and explore the mountains. You’ll find a good mix of cottages and hotels that offer rooms from INR 1,000 per night and for food you can stick to South Indian vegetarian staples or if you have a bit of wiggle room you can dig into their famous seafood.
