The name Gokarna is derived from two words, Go and Karna, and literally translates to 'cow's ear'. It is said that Lord Shiva was born here out of an ear of a cow. Another plausible reason for the naming of the place could be its geographic location. The area where it is located is the confluence of rivers Gangavali and Agnashini and resembles the shape of a cow's ear.
HolidayIQ Traveller Duriabh from Bangalore shares, "So if you are seeking to runaway to solitude, hide in the night as one, feel the sea humming in your ear, this would be a good option. The off-season months hardly have one or no tourists but during seasons this place gets a little more lively. In both the cases you can enjoy a peaceful relaxing vacation. The sunset behind the hills by the sea, that tint of scarlet in the sky ...oh my oh my when will I again come by ...."
