t is no wonder Karnataka has such a strong reputati on as a tourism centre. Not only is it a state with the likes of Bangalore and Mysore within its boundaries, its 320km-long coastline is dott ed with unspoilt beaches. It’s come a long way since the days when it was assumed that its key desti nati ons were hard to reach, and lacked faciliti es. Bangalore, in parti cular, is well connected to the most important Indian citi es and now boasts of some of the best roads in the country. It has been called the “Cradle of Stone Architecture” thanks to magnifi cent World Heritage Sites such as Hampi and Patt adakal, the exquisite temples at Belur, Halebeedu, and Somnathpur. Its forests and wildlife are her priceless natural heritage. The State boasts some of the largest jungle tracts south of the Vindhyas. Karnataka also has a number of
