Travel to Karnataka if you like:
🐾 Wildlife 🏰 Historic site 🗼 Landmark 🏖️ Beach 🌲 Forest 🏞️ WaterwayBetween Goa and Kerala, Karnataka is endowed with an incredible cultural richness, between sea and luxuriant forests. A trip to Karnataka is a unique opportunity to visit India off the beaten track. The contrast is striking between its metropolis Bangalore, true Indian Silicon Valley, and Mysore, the old capital with its wide and peaceful avenues. During your stay, you will discover Belur and Halebid, two major temples, covered with finely chiseled sculptures, and especially Hampi, an incredible archaeological site in the north of Karnataka. This site, which contains the remains of the vanished civilization of the Vijayanagar kingdom, is as impressive as the Taj Mahal! Karnataka is also full of mountain resorts, the most famous of which are Coorg or Kodagu. Don't hesitate to visit Gokarna, which is traditionally a Hindu pilgrimage site but the city is also full of breathtaking beaches that have started to attract tourists to the city. These palm-studded beaches are just outside the main town and offer a peaceful and serene way for tourists to relax. Since these beaches are not overly commercialized or crowded with tourists, you can have a solitary and quiet vacation here and spend time with yourself or a loved one. Kudle Beach and Om Beach are reputed to be the best beaches of Gokarna.
