5-day North Karnataka itinerary

A heritage, pilgrimage, and sightseeing trip to North Karnataka is one of the most unforgettable cultural experiences. We finally decided to visit and explore North Karnataka after much deliberation. Our trip itinerary can help you in planning your next trip to the well-known sightseeing destinations of North Karnataka. It includes a pilgrimage visit to Mahakuteshwara, Kudala Sangama, and popular dams in the region, as well as to the magnificent carvings and sculptures of the Pallavas and the Vijayanagara Kingdom. An ideal itinerary for Popular and Heritage sites in North Karnataka is a suggested itinerary of 6N 5D from Bangalore based on our experience.

Circuit: Bangalore – Vijayapura – Badami – Mahakuta – Pattadakal – Aihole – Kudala Sangama – Bagalkot – Almatti dam – Hospet – Hampi – Bangalore

Day Wise Itinerary

Day – 1 itinerary.

Circuit 1: Bangalore – Vijayapura – Badami

You can take the Golgumbaz Exp train from Bangalore to Vijayapura. It leaves Bangalore around 6 pm and arrives in Vijayapura at 8.30 am the following day.
After that, you can either book a lodge nearby or freshen up at the railway station before hiring an auto for the day to see all of the major monuments. The major monuments include Golgumbaz, Ibrahim Roza, Jamia Masjid, Bara Kaman, Malik-e-maidan, Jod Gumbaz, Taj Bawdi, and Upli Buruz. You can also discuss with the auto driver if you have a list of places like Gagan Mahal, Shivagiri, Asar Mahal, etc you want to visit in addition to those designated by the government as monuments and ask them to take you there. Depending on the bargain, an auto will cost between 600 and 1200 rupees.
One day is sufficient to visit all of the major attractions, and you can catch the Golgumbaz Exp train to Badami by 6 pm.
You’ll arrive in Badami around 8 pm and stay overnight there.

Day – 2 Itinerary

Circuit 2: Banashankari – Badami caves – Shivayogi Math – Mahakuta – Pattadakal – Aihole – Kudala Sangama – Bagalkot

First half itinerary

On the second day, rent a car and leave early in the morning for the Banashankari temple, which opens at 6 am. If you stayed in Bagalkot the day before you will need an hour to reach Badami so plan accordingly. It is approximately 33 km from Badami and the roads are in good condition. After breakfast, proceed to the Badami caves.
Banashankari temple is about 5 km from the caves. The time required here will vary depending on the crowd. We spent about 1 hour and 30 minutes at the temple due to the moderate crowd.
Next, you can visit the Badami cave temples. The caves open at 9 am, and you can explore them without encountering too many people. It will take approximately one and a half hours to explore all four caves and Agastya Lake. Allow additional time to visit Shivalaya and Bhoothanatha temples.
Next proceed to Shivayogi Math, which is 12 km away on the way to Pattadkal. You can visit the site in 30 minutes and then continue to Mahakuta.
Mahakuta is about 4.5 km away and you will arrive in 10 minutes. Spend around 30 minutes to an hour here taking blessings from Mahakuteshwara before continuing on to Pattadakal.

Second Half Itinerary

Pattadakal is 12 km away and will take approximately 30 minutes to reach. Within the Pattadkal group of monuments, there are approximately ten temples. It will take approximately 2 hours to explore all of these.
You can eat lunch at the small mess outside the Pattadkal temples because there are no food options near Aihole or on the way.
Further proceed to Aihole, which is 13 km away. Durga temple is a well-known temple in the Aihole complex. There is also an archaeological museum and a few other temples within the complex, including Suryanarayana Gudi, Gaudara Gudi, Chakra Gudi, Chikkigudi, Ambigera Gudi, and Badigera Gudi. It will take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to visit all of the temples within the complex.
You can then travel to Kudala Sangama, approximately 35 km from Aihole. The roads on this route are not very good in between, so it will take more than an hour to reach. Kudala Sangama is the meeting point of the Krishna and Malaprabha rivers. You can halt at Bagalkot after visiting Sangameshwara temple and Anubhava mantapa.

Day – 3 Itinerary

Circuit 3: Bagalkot – Almatti – Bagalkot

After a busy day on Day 2, you can take it easy and start visiting from Bagalkot Museum around 10 am. This museum has life-sized models depicting early-day folk life essentially of North Karnataka. The museum opens at 10 am and takes about 2 hours to visit.
After visiting the museum, you can travel 45 km to Almatti Dam by bus, which will take approximately 2 hours to reach. There, you can see the Lava Kusha garden, the Rock garden, and the Krishna gardens until the evening. Then enjoy the fantastic musical fountain and 3D show along Mughal and Rose gardens. Following the performance, you can either stay at Almatti or Bagalkot.

Day – 4 Itinerary

Circuit 4: Bagalkot/Almatti – Hospete – Tungabhadra dam – Hospete

On Day 4, you can take a bus from Almatti to Hospet. It is approximately 144 km long and will take nearly 4 hours by bus. You can also take buses to Hospet if you stay in Bagalkot and it will take nearly 5 hours to reach.
Pre-book a lodge near the bus station and relax till noon. After lunch, proceed to Tungabhadra Dam which is only 15 km from Hospet. Buses run every 30 min to the TB dam. You can also take advantage of shared and private auto to TB dam.
Spend the afternoon at Tungabhadra Dam grounds exploring the gardens, mini zoo, play areas, and boating. In the evening, go to the crest gates and climb up to the Viewpoint near Vaikunta Guest House to watch the sunset and dam. When the dam gates are open, you can enjoy the stunning view of the colorful lighting on the water. Climb down by 7 pm to enjoy the musical fountain show, which will last 20 minutes. Following that, you can enjoy boating and other rides at the play area if you desire. Then return to your room and call it a day.

Day – 5 Itinerary

Circuit 5: Hospete – Hampi – Hospet – Bangalore

You can allocate the entire fifth day to visit Hampi.
Even though it is unlikely to visit all of Hampi in a single day, you can visit the monuments in the Hampi area. If you have another day, you can go to Kamalapur and the Anjanadri Hillside.
Every 15 minutes, buses run from Hospet to Hampi, which is located 13 km away. It will take about 30 minutes to get to Hampi.
In Hampi, you can begin by visiting the Virupaksha temple in the morning.
Then hire an auto for a reasonable price of around 500-1000 rupees to cover all of the monuments. They will drop you at Virupaksha temple after covering all of the areas within the entrance area, Royal Enclosures, and Vitthala complex in 3 to 4 and a half hours. You can also climb down from Vitthala temple to Virupaksha temple and cover the remaining areas. Otherwise, you can eat lunch and rest near the Virupaksha temple. Then go exploring near the Tungabhadra River, climbing either Matanga or Hemakuta hills to watch the sunset.
You can take the bus back to Hospet after sunset.
Board the Hampi express train at 9 pm, and arrive in Bangalore by 6 am the following day.

Travel Tips to visit North Karnataka

The above locations are best visited between August and January. It is preferable to visit the dam during the monsoon season when the dam gates are open. Moreover, the region becomes excessively hot during the summer months.
If you have limited time, you can visit all of the above locations in four days by combining Day 2 to Day 4. In one day, you can visit Banashankari, Badami, Shivayogi Mandir, Mahakuta, Patadakal, Aihole, Kudala Sangama, and Almatti dam. The following day, you can travel from Bagalkot to the TB dam. Day 2 will be a bit hectic for this schedule, but you can complete them in a day if you start early.
You can also modify the Day 3 itinerary by taking the 8.45 pm Bjp Ypr Exp train from Almatti to Hospet. You will arrive at Hospet by 1 am. In this way, you can avoid the next morning’s journey and spend the first half of the day in either Hampi or Bellary until the evening. Then you can visit TB dam in the evening.
Certified guides are available in Golgumbaz, Bara Kaman, Badami, Pattadakal, Aihole, and Hampi.
The majority of the sites have restrooms and drinking water facilities.
Because the area is extremely hot, it is best to bring hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Also, if visiting during the monsoon season, don’t forget to bring rain ponchos or umbrellas.
When visiting North Karnataka, you should try Jolada rotti meals and Girmit. They are tasty and reasonably priced.
Vegetarian meals are available at all locations. In some areas, there are no large restaurants, but small canteens nearby serve good food, so you can try it there.
Sunflower is a major crop in North Karnataka, so you will most certainly pass through sunflower fields. If you prefer, you can stop by and visit the fields.
Check out our post on Belgaum and Gokak , which you can combine into your current trip to North Karnataka if you have an extra day.

You should certainly include a trip to North Karnataka on your bucket list to enjoy the diversification of nature as well as to appreciate the Hindu and Islamic architecture of the ancient period.

Karnataka Itinerary: how to spend 3 weeks in Karnataka

This post is a 3 week Karnataka itinerary. Karnataka’s tourist slogan is: “One state, many worlds”. It is indeed one of India’s most varied states. Palm-fringed beaches, jungles teeming with wildlife, ancient temple ruins and some of India’s most progressive cities. Karnataka has it all.

With Goa to the north and Kerala to the South, many travellers simply pass through. Unaware of the beauty and adventure they are missing out on. This Karnataka itinerary doesn’t even include everything there is to see, but it does include the best that Karnataka has to offer.

A lot of temples in your Karnataka itinerary

A 3 week Karnataka itinerary

This 3 week Karnataka itinerary includes nature, history and culture. Karnataka is South India’s largest state and therefore it is no surprise that there is so much to see and do.

The Western ghats mountain range runs through the state, creating the perfect climate for coffee and spice plantations as well as dense green forests that are home to a number of wild animals including elephants and tigers.

In addition, Karnataka has a 280 kilometer long coastline full of small fishing villages and secluded beaches fringed with palm trees. Inlands you will find ancient temple ruins and modern cities.

Day 1 – 2: Bangalore

You will start your Karnataka itinerary in Bangalore. Bangalore is famous as being the IT hub of India, also known as the Silicon Valley of India. It is one of India’s most liberal and trendy cities that attracts young people from all over India.

Bangalore is now one of the fastest growing urban areas, but it remains a very pleasant city to live in. Bangalore is also known as the Garden city of India. There are trees everywhere and beautiful parks and gardens to relax in.

Being such a multicultural and dynamic city, Bangalore is also a great food destination. Here you can find food from everywhere in India, but the specialties from Karnataka are the best. You will even find pubs and beer breweries in Bangalore.

One day in Bangalore should be enough to see the few historic sights and enjoy some of the city’s best culinary highlights

Accomodation : Locul central is close to Cubbon Park and is a clean and professional hostel if you don’t mind staying in a dormitory. Locul uptown from the same owner is near Bangalore palace and has both dormitories as well as private rooms.

The best place to start your Karnataka itinerary is Bangalore

Day 3 – 6: Hampi

From Bangalore you can take the night train to Hampi. Hampi, in the north of Karnataka was once the capital of the Vijayanagara empire. During its glory days in the 14th century it was a center of arts, culture, literature and philosophy and one of the richest cities of India.

It was one of the last great Hindu kingdoms in the south.What remains is a large archeological site with over 1600 structures including forts, temples, shrines and palaces. The monuments of Hampi are a UNESCO World heritage site and remarkably well preserved.

Although the ancient temple ruins are the main attraction, Hampi has a beautiful landscape too. There are interesting rock formations and huge boulders and you can take a boat ride on the scenic Tungabhadra river.

Hampi is the perfect place to relax for a couple of days with lots of backpackers accommodation. I would say you need at least 3 days in Hampi to see the most important archeological treasures.

You can check out my post about the best places to visit in Hampi

Accomodation : the best place to stay in Hampi is a homestay. Homestays with good reviews in this area include Srinivasa homestay , Arjun homestay and Vinayaka homestay

Hampi is a highlight in your Karnataka itinerary

Day 6 – 8: Gokarna

From Hampi you can take a convenient night train to Gokarna. The next stop on your Karnataka itinerary.

Gokarna is an important pilgrimage center on the coast of Northern Karnataka. A sleepy temple town with a relaxed atmosphere that is increasingly popular as a beach destination too.

And Gokarna has plenty of beaches to choose from. Some of them are so remote that they can only be accessed on foot or by boat. Names like paradise beach and half moon beach indicate the beauty of the tranquil waters of the Arabian sea and the palm-fringed sandy beaches.

One of the highlights in Gokarna is the Golden trail. An 8 kilometer hiking path that connects the different beaches in Gokarna. It’s an adventurous trail that requires climbing over rocky terrain and boulders, interspersed with scenic stretches along the beach with wonderful views over the ocean.

Part of the charm of Gokarna is that it is still relatively unknown among foreign travellers. There are enough hotels, restaurants and yoga retreats, but it doesn’t feel crowded. For many, Gokarna is a more quiet and peaceful alternative to Goa.

You can check out my post about the best places to visit in Gokarna .

Accomodation : The Namaste yoga farm is not necessarily a budget option, but it’s scenic location in a lush green garden at Kudlee beach make it well worth the price. There is also the Zostel hostel near Gokarna town on the cliff overlooking Gokarna’s main beach and in walking distance from Kudlee beach. Zostel is a popular option and it’s best to make a reservation, especially during the weekends.

Day 9 – 11: Udupi

For even more remote and secluded beaches where you are likely to be the only foreigner around you can head further south. Udupi is another sleepy temple town that attracts hundreds of pilgrims. A tour of the Udupi Krishna temple is a must wghen visiting this area.

Udupi and nearby Mangalore aren’t the most beautiful cities, but they are famous throughout India for their delicious food. Mangalorean cuisine is known for its fried masala fish and spicy curries flavoured with tamarind and coconut. The Udupi thali is a set meal of mouthwatering vegetarian curries.

The food and its beautiful beaches make this a great stop in your Karnataka itinerary before you explore more of southern Karnataka.

Accomodation : In Mangalore I can recommend Rahul Residency or Urban Retreat Homestay

Day 11 – 13: Belur & Halebid

One of the highlights of your Karnataka itinerary in the south will be Belur and Halebid . Belur and Halebid are some of the oldest and most impressive temples in Karnataka. Intricate carvings and ornate details is what makes these Hoysala temples so beautiful.

The Hoysalas ruled much of South India before the Vijayanagara empire and their temples are thus even more old than those in Hampi. Belur and Halebid were both once the capital of the vast Hoysala empire and they offer the best examples of their unique temple art.

Belur is the oldest temple and it took 103 years to complete. The result is one of the most intricately carved structures in all of India. Halebid has the largest temple and is equally stunning.

Belur and Halebid are best visited from the scenic hill station of Chikmagalur that is famous for its coffee plantations and waterfalls.

Accomodation : There are not a lot of options to stay in Belur or Halebid itself. They are also not very good value for money. I would recommend staying in the scenic hill station of Chikmagalur. I slept at the clean and professional Chalukya comforts in the center of the city. If you have your own transport you can also opt for one of the homestays close to nature such as blue bell homestay

Day 14 – 18: Mysore

Bangalore might be the capital in Karnataka, but Mysore remains its cultural heart. The kingdom of Mysore has always been an important center of art and culture in southern India. First it was a vassal state from the Vijayanagara empire, but they increasingly got more power and eventually ruled most of Karnataka.

THe kingdom of Mysore was ruled by the Wodeyar family. THey fought several wars including several wars against the British. Even after they lost they kept certain royal privileges as a princely state. Up till this day the Wodeyars play an important role in politics.

Mysore still is a city full of royal palaces, colonial mansions and elegance. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful cities in Southern India. The age old traditional crafts of Mysore include silk weaving, sandal wood carving, rosewood inlay, sandal soap making and the famous Mysore paintings.

Mysore has lots of interesting day trips too. For example, you can visit the former capital of Srirangapatna , the Ranganathittu bird sanctuary, the ancient Hoysala temple at Somnathpur and the Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe .

Accomodation : In Mysore I can recommend Mansion 1907 . Most of all because of its great location near the bus station, Mysore palace and Devaraja market. This hostel has friendly owners, a great breakfast menu and female only dorms. During the tourist season they have free yoga classes in the morning and you can rent bicycles to explore Mysore and its surroundings. There are other hostels in Mysore as well such as Zostel and Roambay hostel.

Day 19 – 21: BR Hills

With no less than 5 national parks and 18 wildlife sanctuaries, Karnataka is a great place for wildlife spotting and going on a jungle safari. In fact, Karnataka has the largest population of elephants in India as well as a large number of wild cats such as leopards and tigers.

Nagarhole and Bandipur National Park are the most popular wildlife destinations, but the safari lodges don’t come cheap here. BR Hills is less known and a more budget friendly destination. The BR Hills is where the Western ghats meets the eastern ghats forming a unique ecosystem.

The result is a rich flora and fauna with species from both areas coming together, creating an ecological hotspot of incredible biodiversity. The animals are shy and difficult to spot in the dense forests, but you can feel and hear they are never far away. It’s easy to spot birds and deers and with a bit of luck you might see a wild elephant

Accomodation : Nagarhole and Bandipur are the most popular places for a wildlife safari. In Bandipur Dhole’s den is a very good option. BR hills is a more budget friendly safari destination. One of my top recommendations in BR Hills is the Gorukana Resort . They offer eco cabins and a tree house in the forest.

Sustainable Travel in Karnataka

Karnataka is a beautiful state, but to preserve its national parks and nature, it is important to be aware of the possible negative impacts mass tourism can have. Traveling sustainably in Karnataka, involves conscious choices that minimize your environmental impact and support the local community. Luckily, Karnataka itself has lots of community-based and eco-tourism initiatives.

Support the local community: You can support the community by purchasing goods and services from local vendors, artisans, markets and restaurants. It is better to try South Indian cuisine that uses local ingredients rather than imported foreign foods. South Indian food is very vegetarian friendly and it is easy to follow a vegan diet.

Stay in small scale sustainable hotels : It is also better to stay in locally-owned guesthouses or homestays to support the local economy directly. These accommodations often have a more positive impact on the environment compared to large hotels.

Karnataka has a number of community based tourism initiatives with excellent homestays. Where possible, I can recommend staying in a homestay for an authentic cultural experience. You might want to bring a small book with pictures of your family to break the ice.

You can also try to look for guesthouses or homestays that prioritizes sustainable practices. That said, environmental awareness is still low. It’s up to you to use water sparsely, turn off lights, air conditioning, and heating when leaving your accommodation.

Use public transport : Karnataka has a well-developed public transportation system with trains and buses. Opt for public transport, whenever possible, instead of private cars to reduce carbon emissions.

Leave no trace principle : I encourage you to take all your trash back with you when you go on a safari in Karnataka’s beautiful nature or hike its hills and dispose of it responsibly. In other words, leave no trace of your visit. Even better is when you bring something to pick up any of the trash that other people left behind.

To avoid single-use plastics, invest in reusable items. For example, you can bring your own water bottle with a filter. At last, use biodegradable and eco-friendly personal care products to minimize pollution of water sources.

Respect the culture : Besides environmental concerns it is also important to respect the culture. Karnataka is a state with a Hindu majority that is just opening up to tourism. Therefore, learn about the local customs and traditions beforehand and be mindful of your behavior.

People will appreciate it, if you dress modestly, especially at religious sites. Learning a few basic phrases in Kannada, can go a long way in building meaningful connections and to learn more about the local culture. Not everybody is happy to have their picture taken. When in doubt, ask permission.

What are the most popular tourist destinations in Karnataka?

The geographical diversity of Karnataka is perhaps unparalleled. Some most-visited places are:

Bangalore- Not just the silicon valley of India, it has a rich history to boast of.

Mysuru- One of the cleanest cities in India, Mysore has much more than its famous Palace.

Hampi- The history buff’s paradise, the ruins of Hampi are a marvel to behold. Here, my post on 5-day Hampi itinerary might help you if you can spend 5 days here.

Gokarna- Swimming in the sea, seafood in the shack, strolling on the shores. Need we say more?

What is the best season to go on a Karnataka trip?

Bangalore is blessed with moderate climate throughout the year and the hill stations are definitely a joy in the summer months. The other towns, beaches and forests, however, can get rather hot and humid in summer and hence, October- March would be the ideal time to travel across the state. There are plenty of hotels and homestays available in all the tourist spots and cater to travellers of all budgets.

Is the trip to Karnataka affordable for budget and backpacking travels?

Karnataka offers a wide range of facilities to suit every pocket. From luxury suites to humble homestays, you can opt for what fits your need.

Is Karnataka a suitable choice for young travellers and senior citizens?

Absolutely! You will be travelling to and from sites in cars or buses and you can skip the treks. Carrying enough water on your visits to heritage sites should be enough to comfort your family.

Details of your 10-day Karnataka Itinerary

Day 1 & 2 – arrival and sightseeing in bangalore.

Bangalore is the largest and capital city of Karnataka. Well-connected by flights and trains from most cities of India, Bangalore boasts of an amalgamation of palaces, national parks, museums and pubs to kick start your Karnataka Vacation.

Try reaching Bangalore the night before or early in the morning so that you can make the most of your day. Head straight to the Bangalore Palace and let your eyes soak in the multiple hues of this European-style architecture. With intricate carvings and splendid decor, the palace will give you a glimpse into the past of this busy, urban technological hub.

Visit the Iskcon temple in Rajajinagar next and the Tipu Sultan Summer Palace thereafter. Both of these architectural marvels adorn the skyline of the city and draw many tourists to their doorsteps.

swarajyamag

Your next stop should be Lalbagh Botanical Garden to see its lush and luxurious gardens.

The highlight of your day will be the Banerghatta National Park, but don’t forget to take a small detour to the Bull Temple on your way. The animal safari at Banerghatta will be a memorable experience as you wander in a caged vehicle through the carefully constructed sanctuary and see tiger, lions, elephants, bears and other species in their almost-natural habitat. Take some time to go to the butterfly museum next door.

Drive down from Banerghatta to the Pyramid Valley in Kanakapura on the outskirts of the city. Catch the sunset here- the view is breathtaking! It is a meditation centre built amidst a sprawling landscape and will end your trip to Bangalore on a calming note. The centre closes at 6 p.m., so check if you have enough time on your hand.

Spend the last part of your evening shopping in the M.G. Road- Commercial Street area or chilling in one of the pubs in Koramangala or Indiranagar before resting for the night. Also, try to visit the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath and the Big Banyan Tree in Uttarahalli, Hobli.

In case you miss out on any of these on Day 1, you could always visit them on the day you depart from Bangalore.

Day 3 ,4 & 5 – Mysore, Kushalnagar, Coorg

Mysuru is a 3-hour drive away from Bangalore. Outstation cabs, buses as well as trains are available. It’s advised to leave early to make the most of your second day of Karnataka tour. Your first stop must be the Mysore Palace, which is the former abode of the Royal family of the Wadiyars and is an exquisite blend of Indian, Islamic and European architectural traditions. The beauty of the palace gardens and the elegance and splendour of the palace itself will leave you quite dumbfounded.

onceinalifetimejourney

The Tipu Sultan fort and Ranganathaswamy Temple in the town of Srirangapatna are outside the city borders but the drive is worth it. The Somanathapura Temple, St. Philomena’s Church, Lalitha Mahal Palace, and Karanji Lake are a few of the suggested spots to visit.

traveltriangle

Also, the Folklore Museum, Railway Museum, Bonsai Garden, and Balmuri Falls are some of the most-visited places in the city of Mysore.

You can also visit the Chamundi Hills for an elevated view of the surroundings. Enter the Vrindavan gardens in the evening and see the light and sound show which happens around 7 p.m. It will be a relaxing end to an otherwise fulfilling day in the marvelous city of Mysore.

Day 10 – Drive to Bangalore, break journey at Shivmogga

If you are driving, you need to head back to Bangalore for sure. But, if you are open to flying back after the trip concludes, you can consider exiting from Dabolim Airport, Goa after Gokarna. It’s just 140 KMs away from Gokarna.

If you are driving, consider taking a break at Shivmogga for night halt. It is exactly in between. You can visit the Jog falls while you are at it.

Now, you know how to spend 10 days in Karnataka. But, for some people 10 days are long. They cannot get off from their work for 10 days. Rather, they can spend 3 days. Are you one such person wondering how to spend 3 days in Karnataka? If so, you should know about tourist places in Karnataka for 3 days.

Tourist Places in Karnataka for 3 days

How to Plan a Karnataka Itinerary for First Timers

Last Updated on November 10, 2020 by hungryoungwoman

In August of 2019, I was invited to be part of the first Karnataka International Travel Expo from Karnataka Tourism. I’ve just visited Bangalore earlier but the cities we were asked to explore post the expo just opened up my mind about the state in India. Here’s everything you need to plan out a Karnataka itinerary if you are a first-timer.

As a disclosure, I was provided accommodation and travel as complimentary but I only post my honest opinions on Hungryoungwoman that remain unbiased.

Firstly, we visited Karnataka for about a week. In this course of time, we covered Bangalore, Mysore, Bandipur, and Coorg. There were packages that allowed for more places of interest in Karnataka to be covered but as we like slow traveling, we opted for this one.

To give a brief about this state, Karnataka is located in South India just above Kerala, the southernmost state in the country. The official language of Karnataka is Kannada but retail stores and most famous tourist places in Karnataka will have people speaking in English so it is not a problem to converse when you are traveling there.

There are currently 2 international airports in Karnataka; namely in Bangalore and Mangalore and a few in the works. We arrived at Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore which is quite modern in my opinion. I am comparing this to the only other airport I have seen in India which is in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Getting a visa for Karnataka is the same process as any Indian state and it is easily available online.

I am a sole believer in planning in advance. I research, find places to stay and explore in advance, as well as download any information that can help before/during the trip. An itinerary is very important to maintain and stick to especially if you are short on days or money.

Following is a 7 day itinerary for Karnataka that can be broken down into 3 days or even 2 days trip in Karnataka by choosing the location you’d like to visit.

Ideally, these holiday destinations in Karnataka should be located close to each other when you are visiting for a shorter time. Say, for example, a perfect itinerary including tourist places in Karnataka for 3 days can start in Bangalore, then Bandipur, and end in Mysore where you can fly off from there.

Tips for a holiday in Karnataka for first-timers

The best way to travel in Karnataka or most of India is to hire tuk-tuks or most commonly known as auto/auto rikshaw there. If you look like a typical tourist, drivers will try to rip you off. Since I have Indian roots myself, this is usually easy for me but some drivers can easily know I am a tourist as I can’t speak their language.

A handy tip is to check the distance of the place you need to travel to in advance. Do not, and I repeat, do not give drivers anything more than INR 200. No ride costs that much or the driver wouldn’t take you if the distance is that long.

An auto driver had ripped off a member of our tour group by charging him INR 1500 for one way and another INR 1500 back! Please don’t be that person who pays without knowing

Always bargain with drivers and try to negotiate the price to at least 50-70% of what is quoted.

What to Pack for Holiday Destinations in Karnataka

Some simple things I always have in my bag when traveling to India:

Light clothes like thin material pants and tees
Comfortable walking shoes
Sanitizing wipes

Karnataka Itinerary

With seven days in Karnataka, we spent 3 days in Bangalore, 1 day in Mysore, 1 day in Bandipur, and 2 days in Coorg.

There are a number of cities in Karnataka each different in its own way. Broadly speaking, I’d categorize them into famous cities, cities for wildlife and nature, and for culture and history.

I chose to do a mixture of both tourist spots in Karnataka and the wildlife/ nature tour. If you are a history and culture fan, then visit cities like Hampi, Udupi, Hassan, and Bijapur.

We were a mixed group of about 20 people from different parts of the world traveling on a bus. Although we made a good number of friends on this trip, my husband and I realized that traveling in a group is not for us.

Sure, making friends while traveling is a good perk but adjusting according to an itinerary designed by someone else and people holding up others is not exactly fun for me. I have decided to come back later and enjoy my favorite places to travel in Karnataka alone.

Important Places in Karnataka – Bangalore City Tour

I’ve been to Bangalore a couple of times before but this was with family and I didn’t get to have a Bangalore sightseeing tour then. However, those two times I actually spent time shopping at local street shops and trying street food.

The food in Bangalore is delicious! I’ve also named it as one of the best food cities in Asia, check it here!

When compared to the tourist attractions in Bangalore, I loved the previous visits as it required interacting with and living life as locals do.

Some of the main places to visit around Bangalore are Lalbagh Botanical Garden and Bannerghatta Biological Park, these are two famous natural places to visit in Bangalore.

Our visit to Bannerghatta Biological Park was an extremely educational one. We stopped at the Bannerghatta Nature Camp by Jungles Lodges and Resorts (JLR)

JLR are state-owned properties that provide for basic amenities and facilities. Since we were on a trip with Karnataka Tourism, we stopped for lunches and tours at these hotels.

I do, however, have mixed reactions to the way animals are treated inside the enclosure. We found a few animals suffering from malnutrition, but according to staff regular checks and medicines are given in a customized diet for each animal.

I’d say, allot an entire day for your visit to Bannerghatta as it is located far enough from the city center and traffic in Karnataka is known to be one of the worst. However, don’t miss this especially if you like learning about animals.

Watching the tiger and bears from such close proximity is sure enthralling!

I will be writing a more detailed post about Bangalore city sightseeing soon and will update it here once I do.

If you’re thinking of taking day trips from Bangalore, Nandi Hills is a very good option. It roughly takes about an hour and a half by car. Known for breathtaking panoramic views, if you’re a beginner trekker then this can be a nice place to start.

For a more local feel of Bangalore, I suggest taking a Bangalore city tour with these packages from Get Your Guide, this particular one covers the market and Tipu Sultan’s summer palace. Click here for details .

Best Places in Karnataka for wildlife – Bandipur

Bangalore to Bandipur is almost 5 hours so I suggest spending at least a night there. This area is very popular for its national park. Most hotels offer a safari experience through the jungle with unrestricted animals. If you are a wildlife lover you will definitely enjoy this!

This was one of my favorite places to see in Karnataka during our trip. We stayed at the Country Club, this is probably the only thing I would change about our stay and next time we would look for a better lodge. The rooms were in bad condition without maintenance and we had weird issues like the electricity going on and off, the phone not working, and a breakfast that was very mediocre. Also, Wi-Fi only at the reception!

There are various options for every budget in the vicinity. For a luxurious stay, the Dhole’s Den seemed like a wonderful option as some members of our group were placed there.

For mid options, you can take look at the hotels below to look at prices and pictures.

We had a fantastic time exploring the jungle with Jungle Lodges and Resorts at the Bandipur Safari Lodge. A safari jeep with grills on windows is taken for a ride in the forest with a knowledgeable guide.

I especially liked how responsible this lodge is as they restrict guests from taking any eatables or engaging with animals. Use of flash cameras and talking loudly when you spot an animal is not allowed at all.

Hence, we found the jungle trails very clean unlike other places in India that are usually destroyed by tourists.

A typical safari lasts for about 2-3 hours and takes place early in the morning and in the afternoon after lunch.

Karnataka Trip for Indian culture – Mysore

Next on Karnataka places to visit list is Mysore. The former capital of Karnataka and housing the Mysore Palace of the earlier ruling Wodeyar family.

For history fanatics, learning about the Wodeyar family and their curse will be interesting. This curse which targeted the family resulted in all couples being barren for around 400 years. In order to grow the royal family, an heir had to be obtained through adoption.

Other things to do in Mysore include visiting a silk factory (and buying something made of silk as a souvenir!) and seeing the Philomena Church.

Since we were only in Mysore for a day, we couldn’t visit any of their markets and the famous Tipu Sultan Palace. I visited the palace during childhood and absolutely loved the royal furniture.

Beautiful Places in Karnataka for nature – Coorg

Other than natural tourist destinations in Karnataka like Badami and Chikmangalur, Coorg or Kodagu is a beautiful location where you can find numerous honeymoon places in Karnataka.

Most people visit to enjoy the cool climate and lush greenery but Coorg is more than that. During our stay of 2 days in Coorg, we visited the Abbey Falls and Dubare Elephant Camp (this one is again a state-owned camp)

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah @ hungryoungwoman.com (@hungryoungwoman) on Sep 4, 2019 at 11:30pm PDT

I liked Coorg the most for a couple of reasons; unlike most hill stations in India, Coorg is not too high up and the ride does not make me nauseous or sick. Two, Coorg isn’t as well known as hill stations like Ooty or Munnar which means lesser crowds!

Some other best things to do in Coorg which I want to do when I’m back is to visit the coffee plantations, go on a trek, try doing a food tour, and stay at the luxury resort Coorg Wilderness Resort again. More about this coming soon so watch this space!

All in all, I extremely felt my trip to Karnataka was worthwhile! Karnataka was never a destination on my bucket list and I’m surprised why I didn’t think of it earlier considering how close it is to Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Nevertheless, I know I am coming back soon 🙂

Have you been to this state before? What according to you are the best tourist places in Karnataka or some Karnataka attractions that should not be missed? Let me know.
