Coastal Karnataka
Fewer photos from this one, more meals. Drove down the coast from Gokarna to Udupi with no fixed itinerary, stopping wherever the food smelled right. The camera stayed in the bag more than usual — some trips are for looking, this one was for tasting.
FOOD
Any udupi hotel that looks unremarkable from outside — that's usually the good one.
HIDDEN GEM
Om Beach at Gokarna past sunset, once the day-trippers leave.
PACKING NOTES
Barely used half of what I packed. Next coastal trip gets one bag, not two.
