“Ruins and rainforests, code and coffee — where ancient empires meet India's Silicon Valley”
The Western Ghats spine, the Deccan plateau, and 320 km of Konkan coast — the south's most varied state. Hampi's Vijayanagara ruins (UNESCO) sprawl across granite boulders; Pattadakal, Aihole and Badami carry the Chalukya temple architecture; Belur and Halebidu hold the Hoysala stone work; Mysore's Dasara is the country's oldest continuously celebrated royal festival; Coorg (Kodagu) is India's coffee belt; Gokarna remains the alternative to Goa for a quieter beach week. Bengaluru is the country's tech capital. The Western Ghats sections in Kudremukh, Bandipur and Nagarhole are tiger and elephant strongholds. 30 destinations across the state.
