My thoughts on Goa & Gokarna

I visited Gokarna and Goa and found the costs to be quite high.

In Gokarna, the food is very affordable, but booking accommodations can burn a hole in your pocket—even budget hotels are surprisingly expensive.

In Goa, I felt everything was overpriced. While there are options for budget hotels, the cost of food is significantly high. In fact, almost everything, from items in the markets to activities on the beaches, is expensive—except for liquor, which is relatively cheap. However, I find it pointless to spend so much on necessities just because liquor is affordable.

Comparatively, I enjoyed Gokarna more as it’s less crowded and offers a more peaceful experience. If Goa’s overall costs were brought under control, it would be an even better destination.
