Karnataka is a state on the southwestern coast of India that offers one of the most diverse travel experiences in the country. It is a place where ancient empires left behind remarkable ruins, where dense forests shelter tigers and elephants, where coffee and spice plantations cover rolling hills, and where a long coastline meets the Arabian Sea with beautiful beaches and fishing villages. From the historical grandeur of Hampi to the royal city of Mysuru, and from the beach shacks of Gokarna to the misty hills of Coorg, Karnataka has something special for every kind of traveler.
The state capital Bengaluru, also known as Bangalore, is India's technology hub and one of the fastest-growing cities in Asia. It is a modern, cosmopolitan city with a thriving food and nightlife scene, pleasant weather year-round, and a growing arts and culture community. Mysuru, just a few hours from Bengaluru, is known for its magnificent Mysore Palace, silk sarees, and the grand Dasara festival that draws visitors from around the world. The Hampi ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are the remains of the once mighty Vijayanagara Empire and are one of the most atmospheric and photogenic historical sites in all of India.
