Description

A Fascinating Day Trip Exploring India’s Cultural, Historical, and Natural Wonders

Embark on a captivating journey to discover some of India’s most remarkable treasures.

We begin early in the morning, traveling to a charming medieval town to explore a stunning Vijayanagara-era temple. This site is home to several of India’s largest monolithic artifacts, including the biggest Nandi bull, a magnificent snake sculpture, and the largest hand-painted fresco. The temple also features the intriguing "hanging pillar," a true architectural marvel. If you’re short on time and unable to visit Hampi, this monument, located just a few hours from Bangalore, offers a glimpse of its grandeur. En route, we’ll enjoy a delicious traditional breakfast.

Next, we visit a remarkable 9th-century Hindu temple, the oldest in the Bangalore region. Frozen in time, it stands as a testament to the legendary South Indian empires that shaped its history.

Our journey continues with a hands-on pottery workshop, where you can try crafting your own clay pot or urn—a fun and creative experience.

Afterward, we head to the ancient Nandi Hills, estimated to be 3.5 billion years old. At the summit, the crisp air and lush greenery provide a refreshing contrast to the day’s earlier sites. Enjoy a delightful lunch here, accompanied by breathtaking views of the countryside.

The final stop of the day is India’s first biodiversity heritage site: an extraordinary grove of 800-year-old tamarind trees. The gnarled trunks and unique root structures of these ancient trees are a true botanical wonder.

We return to Bangalore by approximately 6 PM, leaving you with cherished memories of an unforgettable day.
