Magnificent 10 Days South India Temple Tour Package from Bangalore(ALL INCLUSIVE)

This is a private, guided tour through Karnataka's temple heartland, starting and ending near Bangalore. You travel by chauffeur-driven, air-conditioned car with an English-speaking guide throughout, moving at an easy pace rather than rushing between sites.

The route takes in centuries of South Indian temple architecture, from Hoysala-era carvings at Belur and Halebid to the monolithic Jain statue at Shravanabelgola, the rock-cut caves of Badami, and the UNESCO site at Pattadakal. It finishes with Chalukya-era temples at Aihole before heading on to Hampi and Mysore.
