On Saturday I had completed half the trek path .On day one I received suggestion from coastal guards not visit other beaches via trekking as they were deserted .on Saturday night I even planned to visit murudeshwara Shiva Temple,kumta beach or sirsi temple.But I decided to take a risk to visit lonely beaches.Paradise beach ,small hell beach,half moon all could trekked from om beach.My Lodge owner helped me to plan a alternate shorter route to Paradise beach.There is a place called belekan which can be reached by road. Beach can be reached in 20 mins through a jungle over the hill.Belekan also had beautiful coastal line.
My auto reached belekan beach road end . Auto driver with help of locals showed a bridge on a river.Further there was path over mountains.After thanking Auto driver my journey to Paradise beach starts in hill path.
Finding Paradise
There was a private property along the hill.I had a 20 mins walk over the hill.The path from top narrowed down to rocks of sea. I could see sea down but there were no beach visible from the top
Found help in hells cliff
I found two people sitting on a big rock called hells cliff over the sea.Two dogs were sitting along with them.I called them loud.They could not hear me as sea was louder.I slowly went near them traversing down the hill on rocks .path to hells Cliff was very difficult.I asked if I can accompany them in rest of journey.They agreed and described the nature of route.Proper path is after half moon beach to om beach.Other beaches can be only reached by rocks along the shore.At few places small paths over mountain had to be taken.Dogs were guiding them right from om beach.They were Vivek and kushal from Maharashtra and west Bengal respectively.
We decided to return to om beach.So we took on Rocky path again to reach small hell beach .After more difficult trail over rocks our group reached the half moon beach .There was only two people there.Vivek and kushal helped me in challenging places by giving hands .They gave warning beforehand in wet slippery rocks.From half moon beach Path became defined.It went over sides of mountain with gorgeous view of sea from the left side.we slowly reached om beach.Dogs were guiding us all over the path on the rocks ,jungles, mountains .We reached om beach edge and had lime soda before getting into beach.Both had come from dharawad by bike.Now I thanked them from bottom of my heart.As we walked over beach they told about presence of linga like structure in the rocks. on day 2 there weren't much rains but started now.We had lunch together.I ordered a veg thali and they ordered sea food.After a hour I started back to town.I found low cash in my purse to take auto from om beach.
I decided to walk towards to town on hill road which was around 6 km to gokarna.I again saw long view of kudle beach from the road over top of hills.after 3 kms I took a auto again to town as charges had come down with distance.Om Shanti..

Sea was hitting the hill bottom.Another nature's show it was with all it's granduer.Nobody was around me to show me path.I came back to top of hill.I used Google maps that showed same path I already tried.I reached the sea view again . This time I managed to find a small path down the hill.Down there was beach and it became visible.on one side hitting a hillock other side was coastline full of rocks and the mountains.Curved were intrusion of sea into hills.I took few pics .I decided to go further next beach which is known as small hell.I could not find a direct path now. now came down a young couple . They travelEd down from belekan on same path.They suggested me to walk along the rocks to find path at end of beach.By then my phone was also off.I took a path to top of mountain and then it lead back to sea.The path was very narrow . Many places I used my hands for grip .My pant and shirt were all muddy and brown by now. It was not correct path as many roots were obstructing on the way.I was back towards the sea .At first sight of rocks there were my company to guide my days journey.

Next we went to Paradise beach again.Map was showing longer coastline but beach was smaller in real.Now there were seven people in beach.I got seated on broken chair .In some time I climbed rocks to see closer view of Sea.People were taking bath.Few more were taking pictures.There were no supervision by coastal guard like other beaches.
