About Karnataka Destinations
Karnataka Tourism is characterized by ancient sculpted temples, cosmopolitan cities, evergreen forests, and scenic beaches. Karnataka is a culturally prosperous and naturally compelling state with an exciting blend of urban jungles, glittering palaces, wildlife sanctuaries, ancient ruins, and yoga centers. All points of interest in Karnataka spell allure. Some of these tourist destinations in Karnataka are well-renowned, while many more lie off the beaten path. So, follow our Karnataka travel guide with places to visit, weather information, and a map of Karnataka.
Known as the City of Gardens, Bangalore or Bengaluru is the largest city in Karnataka. In the IT hub of India, Victorian-era bungalows and ancient cave temples shine in the shadows of skyscrapers. Places to visit in Bangalore include Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens, Tipu Sultan's Fort, Dravidian-styled Bull Temple, and HAL Museum. Enjoying the nightlife of Bangalore and exploring Nandi Hills are some of best things to do in Karnataka.
The regal splendor of Mysore or Mysuru attracts thousands of travelers during the Dusshera celebrations. One of the major tourist attractions in Karnataka, Mysore is rich in tradition with an atmospheric bazaar district lined with spice stores and incense shops. Nestled amid emerald landscapes and expansive plantations, Coorg or Kodagu region extends along the southernmost edge of Karnataka. A major hub for coffee and spice production, Coorg district in Karnataka is home to the Kodava people. Its carpeted hills and not-so-often-taken trails are ideal to enjoy bird watching and trekking in Karnataka.
Tourist places in North Karnataka offer a change of scene and pace. The ancient city of Hampi, famous for the 14th-century ruins, is like an open-air museum of sacred complexes, shrines, and royal structures. Located in the coastal Konkan region in Karnataka, Gokarna is a blessed with a beautiful string of beaches that can rival the beaches of Goa. Islamic ruins of Bijapur along with Buddhist cave temples and Jain structures in Aihole are also worth visiting. Pattadakal, Badami, Mangalore, Jog Falls, Belur, and Bidar are also major tourist destinations in Karnataka.
National parks in Karnataka are home to a great variety of flora and fauna. Bandipur National Park and Nagarhole National Park are two of the most famous wilderness areas in South India. Comprising 880 square kilometers, Bandipur is home to 100 species of mammals and 350 species of bird. Prowling with tigers, sloth bear, and elephants, Nagarhole National Park flanks the Kabini River in Mysore and Kodagu districts in Karnataka. The best time to visit Karnataka is from October through March. During this time of the year, post-monsoon greenery brings life to hill stations and national parks, and also the weather is ideal for sightseeing in Karnataka. The airports in Bangalore and Mangalore are major points of entry for travelers visiting Karnataka. The state has a decent train connectivity with major railway junctions in Bangalore, Mysore, Mangalore, Hubballi, and Arsikere.

Travel To Karnataka
Read about the best & quickest routes to save time & money, as suggested by our travelers
By Air
There are seven cities in Karnataka with airports: Bangalore, Mangalore, Mysore, Hampi, Hubli, Belgaum, and Bijapur. The Bengaluru International Airport or the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) and the Mangalore International Airport are the only two airports that operate international flights to and from Karnataka. One of the busiest airports in India, Bangalore Airport is connected to Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Jaipur with direct flights by Air India, IndiGo, Jet Airways, and Spice Jet. The airport in Mangalore is served by flights from Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Taking a flight from Delhi or Mumbai to Karnataka is the quickest option to travel.
By Train
Rail transport in Karnataka is yet to reach some district headquarters. The train connectivity within Karnataka state is relatively poor. However, all major cities of Karnataka are well connected to other parts of India by a train route. Bangalore railway station is Karnataka’s most important railway terminal. The capital city of Bangalore is connected to only a few district headquarters by railroad. Hubbali is headquarters of South Western Zone of Indian Railway.
Karnataka has a decently laid-out intrastate rail network. Konkan Railway connects coastal region of Karnataka with Mumbai, Kochi, and Goa. Karnataka has a total railway network of about 3,089 kilometers. It’s more convenient for travelers from Mumbai or Hyderabad to Karnataka to board a train than taking a bus or flight.
Travelers can also board the Golden Chariot, a luxury tourist train operated by Indian Railways and KSTDC, to travel from Goa to Bangalore via Hampi and Mysore.
By Road
Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is the government operator for road transport in Karnataka. It connects major cities and tourist destinations in Karnataka with both intra-state and interstate buses. KSRTC reservation for bus tickets can be made online in advance. The National Highways in Karnataka run for 3,973 kilometers. As one can see in Karnataka district map, smaller towns and district headquarters are well connected by state highways. For transportation within city or town limits, motorbikes, auto rickshaws, and buses are good options. So, buy a Karnataka road map and start exploring this beautiful state. Travelers can take a scenic coastal drive to Gokarna or find adventures along the hilly road from Mysuru to Coorg.

Trip to Karnataka
Customize trip.com guys and their service levels were pathetic. Right from denied entries to hotel to the quality of 1 hotel to denying tontake responsibility, everything was below standard. We dont think we will use travel traingle again as they have such rude and horrid agents listed The driver was flexible and only 1 hotel of the 4 was of the standard that we paid for.Trip to Karnataka
We have best experience with travel triangle agent Lee vacation.owner Mr. Mukundan is very co operative with us .We can not forget superb driving of rajkumar on dangerous way of kodaicanal and ooti.we can not forget loving and very helpful nature of driver RajkumarTrip to Karnataka
Expected a better Guidance from Team. The hotel was totally out of main place where the temperature from madikeri was 3 degree higher. With this kind of expense spent, someone expects to stay at proper madikeri. This should be informed to a customer who doesn't have idea about the place. Bad experience ! DubareTrip to Karnataka
Very nice service, cabs and hotel is very wonderful. Driver is too much good.Trip to Karnataka
Very good trip and especially the driver was very good. 5stars especially for the driver. Our hotel is good but cleaning was not done, it need to be improved. Anyhow, overall the hotel is very good and met the expectations. Very good driver, thankyou. Satisfied with the overall package.Trip to Karnataka
Thanks Travel triangle. Kanishk and team. we had enjoyed our trip of coorg - wayanad south india. Miles 2 fly travel agent also supported us in all the aspect. coordination was good. Hotel was good and in Hotel hospitality was good. driver was also good. I would strongly recommend Travel Triangle for all India Travel. I would love to make good relationship with travel Triangle to Travel every Year. :) My suggestion : Travel agent should give clear info about trip details to driver before he start the trip clearly. So that synchronize between agent customer and driver remain same to enjoy the trip.Trip to Karnataka
Driver charged 500 extra for tolls and he was very slow in driving....there was a discrepancy near room only 4 were booked and it took a call to make the other room available.Overrall it was worth it to travel with TT Place and the arrangements were good and I would advise this miles to fly to anyone going forward. Travel triangle made it easy for me to choose based on quotes.Got a crazy team along with me so it was like full fun all the way :)Trip to Karnataka
We traveled to Coorg-Mysre from Bangalore. Resort booked at Coorg was excellent, staff, cleanliness, food, activities, everything was at par. Cab driver was polite and showed us all the places in between as well. Hotel booked at Mysore - Rio Meridian was okayish. Their food service was slow and buffet refill was not taken care of promptly. Rooms w.r.t to cleanliness were good. TravelTriangle made the trip memorable for me and my family.Trip to Karnataka
Overall trip is good. But the driver charged extra amount for excess kms. There is nothing mentioned about how many kms we can travel. At the end I came to know that 250kms per day is the average they are giving. Finally I end up paying extra amount to the driver.Trip to Karnataka
Cab driver was very helpful and covered most of the places as per our wish zoo visit
