Travel Tips for Karnataka
- Pick the season. October to March is the easiest time. The monsoon is green but wet, and the coast gets very heavy rain.
- Plan Dasara early. Mysuru Dasara, in September or October, fills hotels fast. Book weeks ahead.
- Allow a full day for Hampi. The ruins are spread over a wide area with little shade. Start early, and carry water, a hat and good shoes.
- Allow for long drives. Distances between Bengaluru, Hampi and the coast are long. We plan fewer places a day.
- Mind temple rules. Some temples, such as Udupi and Dharmasthala, have a dress code and set timings. We guide you on rules at each place.
- Carry a rain jacket for Coorg. Showers and mist can come at any time, especially from June to September.
- Carry some cash. Cards and UPI work in cities, but small towns, temples and estates may prefer cash.
- Carry photo ID. Every traveller should keep a valid ID for hotel check-in and entry tickets.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions or local rules.
