North Karnataka is a treasure trove when it comes to historical sites and monuments. When Hampi is it’s most popular child, the smaller town of Badami is still unknown to many. Cave temples, ancient ruins and a beautiful lake sandwiched between sandstone cliffs – Badami is a place that will easily steal your heart with its rustic beauty. Not only this, Badami also serves as a gateway to the nearby towns of Aihole and Pattadakal which are famous for their stunning temples from the Chalukya era. Since Badami is just a night’s train journey away from Bangalore, you can easily cover it in a weekend trip combined with Aihole and Pattadakal.
