Must Visit Family Places in Karnataka

Comfortably occupying the south-western region of India, Karnataka performs a variety of roles for different kinds of tourists with relative ease: it is the epicurean’s delight, wildlife-enthusiast’s dream, nature-lover’s playground, and history-buff’s time machine. Although it is impossible to capture the true essence of this diverse state in a few words, there are some items you can confidently predict crossing off the places in Karnataka to visit before you even step foot in here. For instance, you can be sure that you will take a walk among ancient ruins, watch a stupefying sunset from the solace of a hammock, and have the most gratifying gastronomical experience of your life.

Being as large as it is, most tourists find it rather difficult to take in everything Karnataka has to offer at one glance. That is why, if you haven’t made your way to the state of many worlds yet, these places in Karnataka will act as the perfect prelude to this natural and cultural masterpiece.

Everyone has a different definition of paradise, but if yours involves lounging on the beach and enjoying splendid views of the long coastline, then this piece of heaven is designed for you. This small town on the Arabian Sea will convince you that calling a place “breathtaking” is not always an exaggeration.

Mysore

Out of all the places in Karnataka to visit, Mysore reserves a special place in the heart of every traveller. From the brilliantly illuminated Mysore Palace to the royal manor-esque Crawford Hall, Mysore is a treasure trove of architectural marvels. For someone who is eager to step off the beaten path, places like Varuna Kere, Suttur, and Meenakshipura will satiate your inner wanderer.

Chikmagalur

Situated on the foothills of the Mullayangiri range, Chikmagalur is one of the most enchanting hill stations in Karnataka. Although still comparatively unknown, it has been gaining immense popularity among backpackers owing to its verdant surroundings, extensive trekking trails, placid lakes, and mesmerising waterfalls. If you explore one attraction while you are here, let it be Kudremukh National Park – a forested sanctuary teeming with the richest flora and fauna in south India.

Bengaluru

The cosmopolitan world of Bengaluru frequently entices tourists seeking the refuge of nature. The Silicon Valley of India is blessed with huge expanses of greenery, be it at Cubbon Park or Lumbini Gardens. The pièce de résistance, however, is the vivacious culture that breathes and thrives in every pocket of the city, giving equal importance to theatre, art, classical dance forms.

Coorg

Besides the wide assortment of water sports activities, there are quite a few places to visit in Coorg that are equally worthy of your time and attention.
