Badami Caves :
Situated in the once mighty capital of Chalukya Empire, Badami; the caves are the most stupendously carved caves in South India. Carved on top of a hill, there are four major caves. These are not just plain caves; they are temples dedicated to different religions. They generally are temples dedicated to Hindu and Jain temples. All the four caves are carved out of Deccan sandstone. They were built by the Chalukya Empire around 6th century.
Beach :
Adorning the western coast of India, beaches of Karnataka are an epitome of beauty, grace and calmness. Covering a length of 320 Km, they are among the best tourist attraction in Karnataka. The beaches of Karnataka offer you a world totally unknown but highly craved for. To cut loose from the mundane and exhausting chores and to rejuvenate yourself, there is no better way than spending some quality time by the side of shimmering blue Arabian Sea.
Fairs and Festivals :
When it comes to celebrating a festival, only few states come close to the energy and enthusiasm which is possessed by Karnataka. Almost throughout the year, there is a festival or a fair going on in some part of the state. And people of Karnataka believe in making every event a special one. Most of the festivals are of religious nature.
Pilgrimage :
Karnataka is a state embellished with few of the most divine temples in India. Most of the temples in Karnataka were built during the reign of Vijayanagara dynasty and Hoysala dynasty. Not only are they hugely sanctified and sacred, their architectural elegance and grandeur are second to none. The intricacy and precision with which the carvings are done on the walls of the temples, is something that can be seen nowhere else.
Waterfalls :
Waterfalls in Karnataka are the best way of getting closest to nature. They are also the best endowments bestowed on Karnataka by nature. If you are not on a long vacation, and you are fond nature. Chances are that you might just end up exploring only the waterfalls of Karnataka. It is not only because there are too many of them, each one of them is a true beauty. Best among them are definitely Jog Falls which is the highest in India and among the highest in Asia.
Widlife :
Karnataka is also bountiful of its wildlife habitat, housing some of the rare and endangered species. Most of the wildlife sanctuaries in Karnataka are situated of the foot of Western Ghats, making the sanctuaries splendidly picturesque as well. These parks were once the hunting ground of the kings but with the help of government, they are now protected areas.
