Chikkamagalur

Apart from its natural beauty, Chikkamagalur boasts several little sites highlighting its past. About forty kilometers distant, the architectural wonder from the 12th century, the Hoysaleswara Temple in Halebidu boasts exquisite carvings and enthralling sculptures. Comparably, designed in Hoysala architectural style, Belavadi’s Veeranarayana Temple is known for its tranquil atmosphere and meticulous architecture. These sites give guests a window into the grandeur of Karnataka’s ancient legacy.

Along with temples and hills, Chikkamagalur is strewn with calm waterfalls including Hebbe Falls, Jhari Falls, and Kalhatti Falls. Surrounded by steep hills and thick forests, these waterfalls provide the ideal hideaway for picnics, nature hikes, and a cool respite in hotter months.
