KARNATAKA TRIANGLE

Package Description:
Situated on the western peripheral of the Deccan plateau, Karnataka is the 8th largest state of India both in terms of area and population. Flanked by soaring Western Ghats in the east and the cool blue waters of the Arabian Sea in the west, this state has a 320 km long coastline with unspoilt beaches, magnificent temples, lush green gardens, exquisite palaces, and sparkling waterfalls. Karnataka is a perfect place for adventure loving people as it provides tremendous opportunities of river rafting, rock climbing, trekking, and paragliding. Karnataka displays a remarkable contrast with rapid growth of IT industry at one end and vast expanses of rural farming at the other. Apart from being a major producer of coffee, sandalwood, spices and betelnut, Karnataka accounts for 60% of country’s silk. There are a number of interesting tours in Karnataka. Karnataka has rightly been named as ‘Cradle of stone architecture’- it has profusion of monuments, including, the cave temples of Badami and Aihole, domes and minarets of Bijapur, the World Heritage Center at Pattadakal.
