To the rest of the world, Karnataka
is the undisputed land of spice, sandal, and silk.
Any South India Tour that doesn’t ply Karnataka
is nullified.
The state is replete with convoluted
polarities, that of old and new.
Its larger-than-life
example of this fusion is Bangalore, an old city that
has since reinvented itself as the world-class “Silicon
Valley of India”.
This South Indian Travel destination
is no less than the capital, an awesome setting of
lush gardens, flower-lined avenues and skyscraping
buildings.

Though vestiges of traditional structures such as the
Bull Temple and Vidhana Soudha could be manifold at most,
the prevailing aura of the city is more western. Nevertheless,
the entire state itself has some of the most magnificent
monuments, temples, palaces, and beaches in India.
Halebid
contains the Hoyselaswera temple while Udupi prides itself
in the famous Krishna temple. Tipu also has a resplendent
Summer Palace. Visiting the Chamundi Temple and Nandi Bull
are must-sees in South Indian Tours and South India Tour
Packages too.
The coastal town of Mangalore
is studded with palm-fringed beaches, lush fields and
verdant forests. Karnataka is most known for
having a proliferation of World Heritage sites. There's
the city of Mysore, hailed for its ornate palaces and
resplendent buildings.
It is every way the “City Royale” that is
ubiquitous in any itinerary of South India Tours. The
legacy of the illustrious Wodeyar Kings is still felt
here.
Places of interest for Southern India Tours here are
Mysore Palace, Chamundi Hills and Brindavan Gardens. |

Pattadakal, Hampi, Bidar, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Aihole, Badami, Kittur, Chitradurga, Belur, Somnathpur, Halebid, and Srirangapatna are the other renowned World Heritage sites in Karnataka apt to show up in Southern India Tour Packages.
Twenty-one wildlife sanctuaries and five national parks found in the state, including reputable ones like Bandipur National Park, Bannerghatta National Park and Nagarhole National Park, should sate one's South india Wildlife Tour.
