Luxury Karnataka Tours

With Goa snoozing on her shoulder and Kerala resting at her feet, Karnataka can often be overlooked despite the beaches along the Konkan coast and the waterways within the Western Ghats, which more than match the alternatives. Hill stations, such as Madikeri and Coorg, sit surrounded by coffee and spice estates, offering respite from summer temps, and forest trails leading to hidden waterfalls and misty mountain lookouts. Forget Rajasthan - if you want a microcosm of India in one state, Karnataka is the place to head. Various ancient Indian empires have called Karnataka home, leaving this state in southwestern India extraordinarily rich in cultural and religious treasures. Here, you’ll find temples - such as Belur and Halebid - which are as exuberant as they are refined. Also not to be missed is the ruined city of Hampi, a vast archaeological site with vestiges of the Vjayanagar civilization.
