Apsarakonda
Forest waterfall, garden and beach viewpoint near Honnavar, said to be where celestial maidens once bathed.
Apsarakonda means "Pool of the Celestial Nymphs." The site has a small waterfall that feeds a pool, a hilltop viewpoint, a restored garden, a small Ganesha shrine, and a quiet beach below. The viewpoint looks out over the Arabian Sea and the Sharavathi River mouth. It's a small site, so a stop of about an hour on the way to or from Murudeshwar is enough. There is a small entrance fee. It is about 40 km from Gokarna.
