Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Bandipur National Park for wildlife safaris, or a trek to the highest peak of Karnataka - Mullayanagiri. For less time, skip some stops like Hampi or Dandeli and focus on other places closer to each other like Belur & Halebidu and Jog Falls. Keep in mind that some places might be closed during the monsoon season (June to September) or on national holidays, so plan accordingly.
