Start your day with a scenic drive to Mullayanagiri Peak, the highest peak in Karnataka. Enjoy a refreshing hike to the top while taking in the breathtaking views of the Western Ghats. At the summit, witness the stunning sunrise and soak in the peaceful atmosphere before heading back down. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water.
Spend the day exploring Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected forest known for its diverse wildlife. Take a guided jeep safari through the lush jungle to spot majestic tigers, leopards, elephants, and more. You can also go on a trek to explore the beautiful hiking trails. Pack plenty of snacks and drinks for the day, and make sure to respect nature and follow the rules of the sanctuary.
If you have extra time, consider visiting Belur and Halebid temples, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are a must-see for architecture enthusiasts. For families with young kids, the Hoysala Village Resort offers a variety of fun activities including pottery-making and bullock cart rides. Avoid visiting during monsoon season as many attractions may be closed due to heavy rainfall.
