Echoes of time: Exploring Hampi and Beyond (22 to 27 November)

Discover Karnataka at a pace that lets you truly feel it. Begin in Hassan, wandering through the beautiful Floating Church and drifting along village lanes on a peaceful bullock cart ride. Lose yourself in the intricate carvings of Belur and Halebeedu, where centuries-old temples whisper stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Then, arrive in Hampi, a living heritage town where every stone has a tale to tell. Explore ancient temples, royal pavilions, and bustling market streets, and meet locals who carry forward the spirit of the Vijayanagara Empire.

With day trips to Aihole, Pattadakal, and Badami, this journey blends history, culture, and human stories into an experience you’ll never forget.

What to Expect

Karnataka is a place you absorb slowly. Its landscape shifts from tranquil countryside to dramatic rock formations, revealing centuries of artistry and devotion along the way. Ancient carvings, temple spires, and quiet villages together tell stories etched in stone and spirit. Every corner holds a rhythm of faith, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Here, history doesn’t just sit in museums; it breathes in the air around you.

In Hampi, dawn breaks over crumbling ruins, and as the sun sets, the boulders glow gold against the Tungabhadra River. You wander through royal palaces, hear temple bells echo across the hills, and feel time blur between past and present. This tour is an immersion into the living legacy of South India’s cultural heart.
