Interactive Demos for Healthy Cooking :

Every day, our chefs offer interactive classes for healthy cooking. Guests join our chefs in the kitchen to learn how to cook healthy, tasty food and improve consumption habits. They give you recipes to try at home (with almost no oil, refined sugar or flour) with healthy alternatives you can find in your city.

Art Studio :

Healing with art and pottery is an experience our guests look forward to. Expressing oneself through art is an activity we have enjoyed as children. At SwaSwara you get back in touch with that forgotten child within you. To break the ice, our artist-in-residence interacts with you throughout besides introducing you to a wide range of creative activities. Guided sessions for art and clay modelling with our resident artist are available on all days except Sundays. This interaction with art will unleash your imagination and bring you closer to self-discovery.

Covid-19 Safety :

We advise our guests not to visit the temple town during this unprecedented time. SwaSwara cannot guarantee the COVID-19 safety measures taken in the town. Furthermore, we can anticipate some resistance from the local community to outsiders visiting their small town. We request you to kindly respect their apprehensions. If for some reason you are still required to visit Gokarna town, please do so after checking out. Please avoid visiting the town during your stay at SwaSwara. We are taking this unusual step as a precautionary safety measure for the staff and all our guests at SwaSwara.
