Activities In Karnataka

From wandering in the Western Ghats to roaming in ancient temple ruins, there are several things to do in Karnataka on a holiday. So, follow this Karnataka travel guide to get the best of experiences in this state in South India.

Wondering what to do in Karnataka? Bangalore, the state capital of Karnataka, is renowned for its Shiva temples, vibrant nightlife, and highly advanced IT industry. It's a great city to indulge in hedonistic delights; travelers can enjoy shopping in Bangalore by day and hit the bars and clubs after sunset. Visiting the elegant 18th-century Tipu Sultan’s Palace, taking a stroll in Cubbon Park, offering prayers at Bull Temple, and enjoying safaris in Bannerghatta Biological Park are popular things to do in Bangalore. Mysore, the "City of Incense," is the perfect place to explore markets to buy perfume flavor of jasmine, musk, and sandalwood.

The forested hills in Karnataka allow ample opportunities to indulge in adventure activities in Karnataka. Coorg is a popular hill station nestled in the Western Ghats in southwestern Karnataka. Nishani Betta Trek, Tadiyandamol Trek, and Kopatty Hills are well-trodden spots for trekking in Coorg. Besides these trails, trekking in Karnataka can be enjoyed in Agumbe hill station. There are several ideal spots for camping in Karnataka, just a few hours from cities like Bangalore and Mysore. Travelers can chase adrenaline rush by skydiving in Mysore which remains a unique adventure activity in Karnataka. Rock climbing in Hampi, surfing at Gokarna Beach, and nature walks in Coorg are other top things to do in Karnataka.

Coastal regions in Karnataka are a safe haven for the wildlife. Thousands of honeymooners and families embark on jungle safaris in Nagarhole National Park and Bandipur National Park. Visitors can enjoy jeep rides, trekking, camping, swimming, and mountain biking in wildlife sanctuaries of Karnataka. Anthargange Hills, Kunti Betta Trek, Ramanagara Trek, Kabbaldurga Night Trek, and Thirumaleguppe Trek are popular trekking places in Karnataka. Karwar Beach and Om Beach are worth visiting during the peak season from October through March.

History lovers can take guided tours of Bangalore Palace, Mysore Palace, and Jaganmohan Palace. Travelers inclined to spirituality and Carnatic traditions can admire the grand architectural wealth of temples in Karnataka, especially the temples in Hampi and Pattadakal. Other than these ancient Hindu temples, visitors can explore Islamic ruins of Bijapur in North Karnataka, Jain cave temples at Badami, and Buddhist Viharas in Aihole and Badami.

    Vrajendraprasad's 4 days trip to Karnataka

    Hi Agent, It was a nice and joyful trip. But we have some regrets from your end Actually we have planned our tour plan from 10-03-24 to 13-03-24. But unfortunately we had missed our flight. So that we have requested our travel agent please make a change of our tour plan from 11-03-24 to 14-03-24.
    But they have charged 4000 rupees to change the tour plan. Is that correct to charge that huge amount.

Hotels- hotels suggested was good and enjoyed stay Car and driver-Car provided was not clean and AC also not working properly . Driver was sick and continuously coughing due to which my mother and daughter got sick. I have requested driver to wear mask and take tablet but he refused. The request made to travel trends team for change of driver but they have not considered.
