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. Karnataka holidays take you to stunning and varied landscapes, too: coconut palms and rice paddies in Karavali on the coast;
thick forest and mountains in the Malnad; and arid plateaus in the Maidan region. Karnataka holidays also offer the chance to visit two polar opposite cities: Bangalore and Mysore.

India customer reviews (8 reviews)
4.8/5
Our trip to India was epic. Original Travel did it again, a fantastic, well planned trip with all the things we like. Can't say enough good things about the app. We also love the Concierge service. It was such personal service. He was there for us throughout our trip, contacting us every few days as we moved from city to city. We knew he was a text away with an immediate answer to our questions. We love Original Travel and are hooked on the personalized service and effortless travel to remote areas of the world. It was truly epic, we can't explain our trip to friends because it was out of this world wonderful. I know our neighbours are heading to Japan with you next month and I believe a few of our friends will be contacting you too. We rave about OT. Thank you so much!
