The temples of Pattadkal are located on on the banks of the river Malaprabha. The temples are stone carved and from the Chalukyan era and date back to 7th and 8th century. They are beautiful, elegant, intricately chiselled and showcase some architectural characteristics and therefore designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The temples in Pattadakal bear testimony to the richness and timeless splendour of the Chalukyan architecture. It has a cluster of 10 major temples, which showcase some striking architectural features. The temples are unique as they are inspired by Aryan, Dravidian and a combination of both styles. It was even used as the ceremonial centre where kings were crowned and commemorated. There is a sculpture gallery maintained by Archeological Survey of India within the Pattadakal temple complex. Highly recommended and is definitely worth the visit.

The Pattadakal Temple Complex is truly magnificent—its beauty is beyond words. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is exceptionally well-maintained, and I deeply appreciate the efforts of both UNESCO and the Archaeological Survey of India for preserving this masterpiece of ancient Indian architecture. There is a convenient parking area right in front of the complex, making the visit easy for travellers. Among the many temples, one shrine houses a Shiva idol, and stepping inside offers a serene and powerful experience. The ancient architecture, with its intricate carvings and historic charm, transports you back in time. If you are a travel enthusiast or a history lover, I highly recommend visiting Pattadakal. For a more comfortable experience, plan your trip early in the morning or later in the afternoon, as the area can get very hot during midday. Overall, Pattadakal is a must-visit destination that beautifully showcases India’s rich cultural and architectural heritage.

Absolutely fascinating place! Pattadakal is a treasure trove of Chalukya architecture, with a mix of Dravida and Nagara-style temples that are incredibly well-preserved. Walking through the site, you can see the artistry in every carving — from intricate friezes to majestic temple towers. It really feels like stepping back in time. The site is peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for history and architecture lovers. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as there’s a fair bit of walking, and don’t miss the Virupaksha and Mallikarjuna temples — they’re breathtaking!

Pattadakallu is an incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site that beautifully showcases the architectural brilliance of the Chalukyan era. The temples here are stunning, with intricate carvings and a unique blend of North and South Indian architectural styles. Each structure tells a story from history, and the entire complex feels like walking through a living museum. I highly recommend hiring a local guide — they bring the place to life with fascinating insights and help you truly appreciate the details you might otherwise miss. The site is well-maintained, peaceful, and definitely worth visiting if you love history, architecture, or ancient art.

A stunning heritage site with beautiful temple carvings and architecture. We hired a local guide for ₹700, and he explained everything in great detail — totally worth it! A must-visit for anyone interested in history and art.

Visited the Pattadakallu temples recently, and it was a truly mesmerising experience. The intricate carvings, peaceful surroundings, and the remarkable blend of architectural styles make this UNESCO World Heritage Site a must-visit. Walking among the ancient temples feels like stepping back in time, and the maintenance of the site is commendable. A perfect place for history and architecture enthusiasts!

The place is well maintained by ASI and is one of the few places where you witness both Dravidian and Nagara styles of temple architecture. The Temple complex is quite extensive, and it would take at least two hours to explore it fully. It's advisable to visit early in the morning as the site opens as early as 7AM.

This is a fascinating place where you’ll find numerous temples in miniature form. Though called “miniatures,” they are actually quite large — just smaller than the full-sized temples they were modeled after. These structures served as prototypes or templates for grander temples built later. You can easily spend an entire day here exploring the site’s stunning architectural beauty. The intricate carvings inside these temples are no less impressive than those found in the actual larger ones. It feels as if you’re walking through a collection of magnificent temples all in one place — only without the deities. Most of the temples are dedicated to Lord Vishnu, as indicated by the presence of Garuda statues, although many now house Shiva lingas that were installed in recent times. Except for the Virupaksha Temple, visitors are allowed to enter the other temples wearing shoes, since there are no active deities or priests. It’s a wonderful spot for both kids and adults, combining history, art, and exploration. The entire site offers plenty of opportunities to capture beautiful photographs and enjoy the timeless charm of ancient Indian architecture.

This a place where u will find lots of temples in miniature forms. Miniature doesn't mean they are small definitely it's bigger but smaller compared to the actual temples. These are the templates for those temple. Easily you can spend a day in it by exploring the beauty. The carvings inside the temples are no way lesser than the actual temple. It's almost like all the temple at one location except the deity. Most of the temples are made for lord vishnu we can say that by garuda statue but inside they have kept linga only these lingas were kept in recent times. Except virupaksha Temple all other temple u can enter with your shoes because there are no deity as well as no poojari. Kids will love it so is the elders. Best place to capture some nice pics.

The Virupaksha Temple, the most major temple in Pattadakal, is an absolute architectural marvel. The only temple in the complex with a dedicated priest and daily puja, it is also one of the largest, and the one with some of the most intricate sculpting work. Though dedicated to Lord Shiva, it has amazing sculptures of Lord Vishnu, Shakti, Lord Surya and a lot of other Hindu deities. It has amazing and extremely detailed minuscule carvings on the pillars inside the temple. It would take a long time to even marvel at the details of this single temple alone. It is the most important attraction in Pattadakal and should deserve a good amount of time by visitors.

Amazing experience. Quite an architectural marvel. MUST VISIT . Early morning 6 30 am is the BEST time to visit.

Hardly 15 kms from Badami lies the gems of temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. The chalukyan temple architecture is visible in every corner. All the badami chalukya kings were sworn in here as kings and hence the name of the place is Pattadakal in english and in kannada Pattada Kallu . The place where the crown is given in this place. Kadasiddeshwara, Jambulingeshwara, Sangameshwara, Virupaksha the only temple in service among the other temples. We can say around 15 temples are there exclusively for Shiva and some shiva temples are even without roof. In spite of it, the architecture is still in tact on the banks of river Malaprabha. The park and washroom facilities are well maintained. In spite of opting for e ticket both here and Aihole, we have to stand in the queue once again to get the etickets scanned by the same counter. The very purpose of e ticket and avoiding the queue in the counter is defeated. This needs improvement. The architecture and polishing of Shiva statues to mirror finish is something that needs mention. Worth spending at least an hour

Group of Chalukya Temples on the bank of Gatprabha , The Virupaksh Temple is the GEM of the group , Please take guide to understand the greatness of the heritage

No doubt, it’s an architectural marvel — beautiful, grand, and full of history. However, the temple management and authorities really need improvement. We had purchased entry tickets, which the lady at the gate collected while checking and allowing us in. After waiting in queue for nearly 40 minutes, we were asked to show the tickets again near the temple entry. When we explained that their own staff had taken them, they denied us entry. Shockingly, one of the priests even questioned, “Why did you come here?” — which felt very disrespectful, especially in a temple setting. We eventually took the staff back to the gate, where the lady admitted she had indeed collected our tickets. The whole situation was handled very poorly. It’s sad to see such a magnificent temple being managed with so little regard for visitors and their devotion.

There are three temples in Sudi village but one can make out the sheer negligence accorded towards maintenance of the temples by the Archeological Survey of India. The present one is one of the three temples that represents the negligence by ASI. These could be a great treasure in attracting hundreds of tourists every season if necessary development actions initiated at the earliest. I request the local authorities to initiate an action of communication with the concerned authorities to develop the site for tourism. Sudi is on the way to Itagi while traveling from Gajendragad. Itagi is a famous place for shri Bheemambika temple.

Very good looking temple.. It's 962 years old nd there s none of God statue.. But i m wondering for tat y ASI(Archeological survey of india) s haven't put eyed on this beautiful temple.. Even dont have one single information board from ASI nd some people r using this temple for bad activities.. Please any 1 from ASI or History professor have the look one's on this temple ASAP, I too do as much I can possible

Sudi is a village around 30km from Badami. Very few people go there but it does house remnants of the Chalukya period. The most famous of these is the twin tower temple complex that is visible from the road itself. Even though it is an ASI protected monument but the temple is mostly used by the locals for shelter needs. The temple is beautiful to look at and is a Shiva temple. There is also a rock tablet inside where some markings are written in an ancient language. The Sudi village also has some other small ancient ruins but those are inside the main village and one has to go on foot to reach them. Since we were short of time, so we skipped going inside the village. However I'll recommend this temple complex to anyone visiting Badami.

This is Holy place that you can find twin towered temple only here.. Awesome place yet to get proper development from Government. One of finest architecture from chalukya dynasty..

Jodu Kalasa Temple (Twin towers temple) has two garbha grihas facing each other with a common Nandi mandapa in the centre. Built in the 11th century by a general Nagadeva of Chalukyan king Someshwara II(1068-76), the western shrine houses a linga & the eastern has no idol. A carved Nandi facing the Linga is in the common mandapa shared by both the temples.

It is best historical place in Gadag district Karnataka. Kalyani chalukyas build ultimate architecture here.Tourist frequently visit this place.

It is a wonderful historical place .once it was ruled by abbakka devi(1000 years ago)....there are so many interesting stories .which remained untold ....

A serene and spiritually uplifting temple complex known as Dakshina Kaashi, located near Badami in Karnataka. The temple is ancient, dating back to the 6th-7th century and constructed by the Chalukya dynasty. The temple architecture beautifully blends Dravidian and Nagara styles, and the peaceful surroundings with a holy pond make it an excellent place for prayer and meditation. The place has a positive vibe and is less crowded, perfect for those seeking a quiet spiritual experience. The temple tank, Vishnu Pushkarni, is considered sacred where taking a dip is believed to wash away sins. The temple complex is clean and has various smaller temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities. It’s a must-visit for history and architecture enthusiasts as well as devotees. Easily reachable from Badami, the journey offers glimpses of village life and nature. A beautiful spot to connect with spirituality and history.

The great architectural marvel of those times stands in front of your eyes as proof of chulukyan architecture. This temple is called as Mahaakuteshwara gudi and also known as Dakshina Kaashi due to the importance given to the temple. There is ganapathy with a pond and the kalyani within the temple where people literally using as swimming pool than as a holy pond. The navagraha idols are with their vahans and wife. The shiva is polished so well that you can see you face on it. Situated in a calm serene atmosphere and flocked always by tourists. There are two woodden charriots belonging to the temple which is just at the entrance of the temple. Hardly at 8 kms from Badami those who are visiting Badami are skipping this place mainly because of lack of awareness .

Ambience of the temple is good. We can see the old sculpture, carving and architectural work. But atleast the place is not clean & tidy

Huge temple complex with many small ancient temples. We entered from left side entrance which had sort of river udgam where people washed their foot for entering. On top of stairs, there was ruined mantapa where women were changing after holy dip. In one temple, Aarti was going on with many people inside. It was first or last in the complex depending on where you enter from. We got stuck in rains and there was no where to hide!!! Some people wore shoes while others didn't so not sure what is the rule? Many people flocked the pond with loud noise and wild games splashing water! Some people treated small temples around as changing rooms and Nandi inside as cloth hanger! Near the udgam, their was a priest telling the story of temple and then pulled a small idol on a swing with a hooked rod and asked people to donate to God directly. Large parking at entrance of complex with many shops selling offerings, trinklets, flowers, snacks etc.

This temple is considered as kashi of south and it is believed that ganga water comes to this place. It is also a very old historical site with multiple places.

One such underrated and wonderful places in Karnataka. People who travel Badami should visit this temple without fail. Peaceful and wonderful temple.

Amazing temple... This place seems so different compared to other temples around the places.. You can take a bath in the kalyani.. please do not spoil the place by leaving your clothes and do not use soaps or shampoo... Entry is free and only the parking fee will be charged, The temple will be provided prasad, if you are visiting in the afternoon, very well maintained...

This is one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever visited, a must-see destination. The scenic views make it perfect for photography, and the evenings are the best time to experience its charm. The nearby temple adds to the serene atmosphere.

This Temple in Badami is absolutely scenic and serene, beautifully set on the banks of the Agastya Lake. The view of the temple against the calm waters and rocky backdrop is truly breathtaking — a perfect spot for photography and quiet reflection. Although no puja is performed here, the temple itself is an architectural marvel that reflects the grandeur of ancient craftsmanship. However, there are lot of monkeys around, so it’s best to be cautious with food or belongings. One downside is that the locals wash clothes and utensils in the lake, which affects the cleanliness and sanctity of this beautiful heritage site. People were also throwing plastic in the lake. It would be great if the authorities took steps to maintain and preserve the area better.

We went here directly after Badami caves and Bhootnath temple. From museum entrance instead of going into museum, we took left and started climbing up stairs. The route is pretty. This has far lesser crowd compared to Badami caves. I would recommend going early in the day to avoid heat from sun

This is right next to the museum and there is no entry ticket required. A climb of 30mins will take you to the top with a view. There's a small pond-like structure and this mandapa. The walking area is clear and has steps/flat surface. Visit early to skip the crowd and hot sun

The Badami Cave Temples are truly awe-inspiring! Carved out of sandstone cliffs by the Chalukyas in the 6th–7th century, the caves are not just historically significant but also breathtakingly beautiful. Each cave has intricate carvings, sculptures, and detailed pillars that speak volumes about India’s ancient artistry. The view of Agastya Lake from the caves is stunning, especially during sunset when the red cliffs glow. The climb is fairly easy, with well-laid steps, and the entire complex can be explored in 1–2 hours. Tip: Visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the harsh sun and enjoy the caves at their quietest. Highly recommended for photographers and history enthusiasts!

One of the beautiful temples within the Badami temple complex, the Shivana Gudi is a prime example of early Chalukyan temple architecture.

It is located within the premises of Badami fort. The trek starts alongside the archaeological museum. After crossing the first gate the path advances through the huge boulders. Path is very scenic. Crossing the second gate left side leads to lower Shivalaya. It's a comparatively small temple ruins and no idol inside the temple. View from here is excellent. Early morning is quite and peaceful. A must visit.

Built in early decades of 600 CE , this awesome temple is one of the oldest surviving structural stone temples of South India .Great piece of archetecture situated on the badami cave temple complex. It's in the top of the northern hill and have to Trek from the museum or from back side.

Located on the outskirts of Badami town, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Banashankari, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, and holds great religious importance. No trip to Badami is complete without seeking blessings here. When we visited, it was just a day before the grand annual Banashankari Jatre, a major festival celebrated with great enthusiasm. The temple was quite crowded, and we had to stand in the queue for about 45 minutes. However, the darshan was well-organized, and we were able to see the devi in close proximity, walking from left to right with ample time to pray and seek blessings. One of the highlights of the temple is the beautifully maintained kalyani (temple pond) in front of the temple. The surrounding area is clean, and there is sufficient car parking space near the temple tank, making it convenient for devotees. Despite the crowd, the overall experience was peaceful and spiritually enriching. The temple has a powerful aura, and visiting this sacred place fills one with a deep sense of devotion.

Once you reach there .take proper govt approved guide he will show you around .everting is walking distance . It's beautiful in morning and early evening ..

Beautiful architecture that makes you so proud to know the legacy of this nation and is history. We took a female guide - Munira ( can't remember her name) who explained everything really well. The most amazing nugget is how everything has been carved from one rock. Even the ceilings have intricate and mesmerizing sculptures/carvings...all done with a simple hammer and chisel. It was humbling and a matter of pride. I do hope the government takes steps to both preserve the monuments and to get the world heritage tag. The surrounding area is peaceful. Just keep a lookout for the monkeys - they won't do anything unless you happen to have food packets with you. The guides will give you a full tour of all 4 caves. There's a fair bit of climbing and some of the steps near the 3rd cave are steep. But do try not to miss the 3rd cave as the carvings are utterly breathtaking

One of the best monuments I have visited in my life... Very fine encarvings in the caves and all the sculpture represent a unique story in itself and it tells us our ancient history and culture. The scenery around the Agastya lake and bhutnath temple is so much beautiful and it gives a calmness and serenity in your busy life. The caves are really beautiful and I felt really great that I witnessed the beauty of nature and human artisanship at one place I loved the Badami Cabe temples and the complex surrounding

Absolutely stunning place with incredible rock-cut architecture and breathtaking views from the top! I’m surprised this historical gem isn’t more popular. It’s a must-visit for anyone who loves ancient history, art, and architecture. Badami Cave Temples truly deserve more attention

Must visit place. Panoramic view, peaceful place. The Badami Caves are ancient rock-cut temples carved into red sandstone cliffs. They showcase stunning sculptures dedicated to Hindu and Jain deities, reflecting Chalukyan artistry.

The Badami Cave Temples are an architectural and historical marvel — a must-visit destination for anyone fascinated by ancient Indian art, culture, and history. Situated in Karnataka’s Bagalkot district, these magnificent rock-cut temples date back to the 6th and 7th centuries during the reign of the Chalukya dynasty and stand as a testament to the brilliance of early Indian rock architecture. Carved into striking red sandstone cliffs overlooking Agastya Lake, the complex consists of four main caves, each distinct in its design, deities, and intricate carvings. Cave 1 is dedicated to Lord Shiva and features breathtaking sculptures, including a magnificent 18-armed Nataraja. Caves 2 and 3, devoted to Lord Vishnu, showcase exquisite depictions of his various forms such as Trivikrama and Narasimha — among the finest carvings in South India. Cave 4, dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras, represents the later phase of Badami’s artistic evolution. The craftsmanship, precision, and storytelling reflected in every wall and pillar are extraordinary. The panoramic view from the caves — overlooking the serene lake and rugged terrain — is simply mesmerizing and makes the climb well worth it. The site is well maintained, though visitors should be ready for some walking and stair climbing. It’s best to visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Basic facilities like parking and rest areas are also available nearby.

At the top of the gopuram, a flag or banner is hoisted, indicating an active temple where rituals and ceremonies are conducted. In the center of the entrance, there is a prominent symbol associated with the deity worshiped within the temple, possibly Vishnu, as indicated by the “U” symbol, which is part of the Vaishnavism sect. The sign below the gopuram entrance has Kannada text, suggesting that the temple is located in Karnataka. In front of the temple, there are several parked vehicles, including motorcycles and cars, indicating that the temple is in an urban or accessible area. The colorful structure on the left side is likely a chariot or palanquin used during festivals to carry the deity in procession around the temple. The atmosphere is lively, with visitors and devotees seen in the vicinity, signifying an active and revered place of worship.

This is a famous temple. Roads leading to this place are quite narrow and you may have to drive very slowly. There is a chariot in front of the temple. The temple tower is about 60 feet tall and looks very old. Darshan was peaceful. We finished darshan in 5 minutes as it was not crowded. Visit duration: About 15 minutes depending on the crowd.

Shree Veer Narayan Temple in Gadag is a religious site, known for its atmosphere and historical significance. Its spiritual importance, along with its well-preserved structures, makes it a must-visit for those interested in ancient architecture and religious history.

A very old temple is veeranarayana temple in Gadag. Famous for Gadag. Renovation work is going on. You can see raghavendra swamy mata also there. Very big National tree ( Banyan) will make us feel cool and blessed. Namo narayana ya 🙏🙏

Over 900 yrs old temple of Shri Veeranarayana Swamy here in Gadag city. This temple is historically significant as it is one of the five important Vishnu temples in Karnataka built by the same king. Historic Kannada poet Kumaravyasa translated Mahabharata into Kannada language here only (Karnata-Bharata). As the city of Gadag swelled around this historic temple and Shri Trikuteshwara temple, visitors has to reach these temples navigating over narrow roads. Speaking about the temple's beauty, it seems originality of the temple walls has been covered by extra masonry work, unnecessarily or for repairing the damages. Several deities are there inside the temple premises.

This temple is very old. Built on hoysala style. Kumarvyadasa wrote Gadag mahabharath in this temple. A pole called kumaravyasa shamba can be seen here. Another speciality is that temple committee has membere from all religions.. Hindu, muslim etc A marriage hall is constructed here with amenities

We believe in god. This review is not about the Devi Renuka yallamma but about the shameless management who is managing this temple. There is no proper maintenance, plastic everywhere, people using innocent kids for begging that too inside the temple. No gaurds to control the crowd. Totally disappointed with the maintenance. Such a shameful for Karnataka government for maintaining this famous temple in this bad condition.

1stly Get the holy water and visit jamadagni and finally visit devine place of yallamma( Renuka). Fees: 1.Regular -Free 2. 100/- special Darshan per head 3. 500/- near garbhagudi 4. Vehicle Pooja 500/--1000/-.

Very devotional place 🙏 It’s so beautiful and peaceful 😌 It is located in the YELLAMMANA GUDDA which is almost near Hubli On the way to the temple, you will get to see the SAVADATTI FORT 🏰 which is so big. On the way back from the temple, there is a beautiful waterfalls. The temple is so big And especially during jathre or full moon day, there will be heavy crowd of pilgrims from different parts of the country in the temple You’ve to wait for a long time to take darshan And avoid wearing gold jewelleries or carrying any other valuables during these days or else there will be the chances of getting it lost in the crowd and you won’t even get the lost things back Even special darshan takes a lot of time. They will allow the elder people who can’t stand in the queue for the direct entry into the temple. Mixture of Kumkuma, Arishina and flowers is casted all over the temple by the devotees.

Renuka Yellamma Devi Temple, Saudatti One of the most worshipped and strong devi 🙏 Currently temple is under construction and heard that temple will be closed for next few years - please check with someone before visiting.

The surroundings of this premise is very dirty and nobody is there to clean it. It's all covered in cow dunks (poop), garbage etc. There are 3 ways to enter the temple, 1st is completely free and far away from the devi, 2nd is paid entry with little fees which gets you a little bit closer to devi but the poojari is very bad mouth in there and not letting anyone stand there for even 2 seconds and complete their prayer, and 3rd one is expensive which will get you inside the mandap with your family for special pooja. The main problem is on the exit, the moment you exit the temple there are several beggars (mostly female) begging for money and all of them are sitting behind a steel fence in line till the premise of the temple is complete. Administration of the temples should do something about this.

Went on Monday and it was smooth dharshan. I visited probably after 5 to 6 years and I feel there is quite a good change around. No much begging and harassing if devotees, surroundings are fairly clean and queues are managed well. It could be more better and I am kind of sure in years to come it would. But from what I had seen in my childhood days almost 2 to 3 decades back and now things have been remarkably better. It feels good!

Great experience new development work in progress...such a wonderful arrangement of bathing... system only money taking in vip person they can help to mandir development...

Good place, entry fee 40/-,bike and car parking charges.one canteen available.from gate you want walk around 800mtr.

Nice view point Good place for morning walk Many birds and trees Peaceful

One of the best places in Hubli for evening walks and watching the sunset! The atmosphere is peaceful, and the views during golden hour are simply beautiful. A perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day.

Nrupatunga Betta, situated in the vibrant city of Hubli in Karnataka, is a popular hillock that attracts both locals and tourists alike. This picturesque spot is not only known for its natural beauty but also holds significant historical and cultural importance. I go for morning walk whenever I visit hubli. For morning walkers it's free of cost and after 9 it's 30 rs TKT.

Good place to spend some decent time with family. There is a place for kids to play also to excercise there are few equipments have been kept. Seperate section for girls and boys. There is a electrical vehicle facility available at just 20/- per person including up and down. There is a canteen with limited items. Taste wise it's good.

Why can't they keep UPI payment for entry? Didn't enter since they were taking cash only. #DigitalIndia

Nice place to visit with family. However, the weeds and bushes need to be cleared for a better view from the hill

Nice peaceful place with vehicles noise. Entry fee 20 rupees, nice greenery place. Near to old bus stand can come by walk. We can also bring kids they will enjoy. Here there is a tog train which covers the full park which is not in the entry fee ticket we need to buy a separate 30 rupees ticket to access the train. Local people come for walking in the morning and evening.

Flower show (Fala pushpa pradarshan and siridhanya ) festival is going on for today and tomorrow. Entry fees is 20rs . They have arranged a very good exhibition of various flowers, fruits, superfoods, plants. You can explore different types of grains. Also the statues made of ragi, jowar etc. They have also carved fruits and vegetables. Aquarium is also exhibited over here . Also fishes and the aquarium set is available for sale They have also kept plants for sale at very reasonable price. I got plants and compost from here at cheap rates. You can get fertilizers at just 10rs per kg and plants starting from 50rs. Note: Don’t forget to get your own bags if you are a plant lover. They do provide you bag for 10rs additional charges. Overall good experience. You can enjoy snacks as well, girmit and mirchi bajji.

Best place to spend quality time with family and friends... Should improve the maintenance of washrooms apart from that environment is very well

Spacious Park with Lush green, But Poor maintenance, You can come and spent some good time with your family and friends

Indira Gandhi Glass House located at Hubli near old bus stand. Peoples are coming in the morning for exercise and Yoga. Garden are decorated with different plants and trees. It is Best place for relaxation with children and families. Well maintained Garden, Clean and proper maintained. Parking facilities are available. A Beautiful Structure of grilled and glass. Nice design..

Nice place for relaxing. The morning is too good when compared with evening. The place is very green and neat. It is a big area which offer picnic spots, skating ground, parks... etc. There is a mini train service. Toilet facilities are also available. The ticket rate is very cheap and perfect place for family.

The Indhira Gandhi Glass House in Hubli is a stunning architectural gem, known for its unique design and beautiful surroundings. However, it suffers from a lack of maintenance, which detracts from its potential as a top attraction. With proper care, it could be a vibrant gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.

Unkal Lake Hubli: Perfect for Picnics & Peaceful Walks! Unkal Lake is a popular and well-maintained spot in Hubli, ideal for picnics, walks, and quality family time. The lake is large, complemented by a clean garden, playground, and walking pavements right at the entrance. Entry is a nominal ₹10 per person, and car parking is conveniently available in front. While the lake itself is well-maintained with regular de-weeding and attractive new fountains with lights, it's disheartening to see visitors still scattering garbage and plastic, despite efforts to keep it litter-free. A great place to relax, if visitors contribute to its cleanliness.

A great place to spend time with family and friends! The Unkal Lake and garder is the place where you can find real peace and happiness. The place is totally covered with greenery and we can see many view points there so that we can enjoy the lake view from there and can feel the atmosphere. The lake and garden is really wonderful but I suggest to maintain the Unkal Lake more as the water seems to be polluted, and also request each and everyone (including me) to maintain the place and follow the rules so that the lake and garden look better and it's our own responsibility to maintain our area and surroundings clean including public parks, gardens and more. My overall experience was pretty good and I really enjoyed a lot. Most recommended garden to visit for the one who are new to Hubballi, and i recommend those too who haven't visited this place. There are even many more kids playable area so that kids can enjoy and have fun. Best walking trails are available for morning and evening walks and you'll really enjoy it. Huge Parking facility is also available vehicle parking. The ticket is Rs.10 per person and Rs.5 for vehicle (the day I visited). * Online Payment Option is not available. ** No entry ticket and vehicle parking ticket were provided by the ticket counter agent, who was unresponsive.* Overall my experience for this visit was worth watching and I really enjoyed here! Check out my clicks for more!

Superb ambience for spending the Mornings and evenings. Beautiful lake with a lot of resting space😍

A beautiful place to sit in peace and enjoy the calmness of lake. So many benches are available for people to sit and relax as well. Evening are great on weekdays.

Beautiful lake with wonderful surroundings. It’s so clean. Ample parking space for vehicles.

Great place for walkers and jogger’s . We could only make 1/4th round of the entire lake . According to the security of the lake the entire periphery of the lake is about 6.5 kms . The lake closes at 07:00 pm . If you are planning to cover the entire round then have ample time before you take the full circle. The lake is just next to Hotel naveen . The pavement have been well laid . There are lights out along the track so that the move may be smooth . There is a sun set view point at the enterance at a heightened location . There is an eatery/restaurant at the entrance where you can grab snack before you set out for walking . Entrance fee is 10/- and parking fee is also 10/- . If you are in Hubballi and not sure where to go in the evening then this is a good place to explore .

I am a resident of Jaipur and have been visiting lake for long walks ever since childhood. I have seen people from all walks of life come to lake for morning and evening walks. I like to walk the talk here with friends and family. The environment of the lake is very conducive for deep introspection. Watching the sunrise or sunset gives me an exhilarating experience and makes me feel one with God and Nature. Of late you can see the water shimmering like silver if you go around 5:30 or 6:00 pm and makes the whole area look so calm and serene and beautiful. At the other end of the lake there is now a Buddha Park with a very beautiful calm and serene statue of Lord Buddha in sitting pose. At the entrance you will find the lake club, restaurant, lots of vendors selling eatables, and a big play zone for kids where you can enjoy with kids. Also, there are ducks in the lake which you can feed or go for a boat ride. There are plenty of things to do here. It has become an activity centre for people. All in all an enjoyable experience.

Today we went there did body and leg massage in massage chair s.Lot of shops but no rush.Parking is there.A super market is in the basement.i did shopping in pantaloons.This mall is on main airport road.

I visited this place last friday. When i entered inside mall light gone so due to this i used stairs. Stairs was smelling. I visited here with my baby so i gone to washroom but there was no diaper changing place there also washroom was very dirty it was water all around washroom.. i even couldn't used it. Ac was not on so it was feeling suffocated so within 15 mints i just returned. I wouldn't recommend to visit thos place.

Urban Oasis Mall is a solid, all-in-one spot on Gokul Road—easy to reach, with plenty of shopping, a multiplex, and a straightforward food court. It’s clean, reasonably well maintained, and works well for a few hours of retail therapy or a movie + meal plan.  What I liked • Convenient location & parking: Just off Gokul/Airport Road with on-site parking, so getting in and out is simple even on weekends.  • Brands & basics covered: You’ll find national labels (e.g., Titan World, Reliance/Pantaloons-type anchors) alongside everyday essentials.  • Movies at Cinepolis: Comfortable screens and current releases make it easy to turn a shopping trip into a full evening.  • Food court for quick bites: Familiar chains (KFC, Domino’s, Pizza Hut) and Indian counters—handy if you’re with family.  Good to know • Peak-time crowds: Weekends/holidays can be busy; shows and popular eateries fill up fast. (Plan showtimes and arrive a little early.)  • Overall upkeep is decent, though some reviewers wish for a livelier food court and sprucer common areas.  Verdict: A dependable, family-friendly mall for shopping, a movie, and casual dining in Hubballi. Not a “destination” like metro city malls, but very practical and convenient for the city. Rating: 4/5.

I recently visited Urban Oasis Mall in Hubli, and while it offers a few amenities, the overall experience was underwhelming. The mall houses some well-known brands like Pantaloons, Reliance Trends, and Woodland, but many stores appeared closed or sparsely stocked. The food court features outlets such as KFC and Domino's, yet the token-based system is cumbersome, and service can be slow . Entertainment options include a Cinepolis multiplex and a gaming zone. However, the cinema has been criticized for issues like sound quality and screen maintenance . The gaming area is modest and may not appeal to all age groups. Cleanliness and maintenance are areas of concern. Visitors have reported poorly maintained washrooms and a persistent odor in the parking area . Security staff have also been noted for unhelpful behavior in some instances. In summary, Urban Oasis Mall serves as a basic spot to pass time in Hubli but falls short of expectations for a comprehensive shopping or leisure experience.

It's okay. Only decent place in hubli to watch movies.. pvr is there.. They have bowling also. Food court in-house is very bad. Stalls inside is not good. maintenance can be better!

Is a decent weekend destination —A visit on a Saturday, and it wasn’t overly crowded, which made browsing easy. That said, it could definitely do with better housekeeping — some areas felt a bit neglected — and adding more anchor tenants would elevate the overall shopping experience.

The Mall is very good and well maintained, but mindset of people who live in the city is not as developed as metro city people. Due to which the footfalls in the mall is very low which have led a lot shops to close. In my recent visit a lot of shops of the food court were closed. Barely any apparel shops were open.

Nice and clean math.....i visited this when I was travelling from bangalore to Goa....it's on the way.....was less crowed .....considering that area toilets are ok not too clean nor too dirty...it has a lake on the other side......some stall are there in this area ....sbi ATM is also there.....and small restaurants too....this math also has a yatri niwas for the visiters.

Temple is neat and clean ,3times prasadha we will get and the chant Om Namah shivaya gives good vibes .. rooms are also affordable

One of biggest spiritual gathering held in the south Karnataka, in hubli Shri Swami Siddaroda ajja is considered to be a very divine and holy, we were here on the eve of MAHA SHIVARATRI during which JAGARNA was held , more and more people took part in it from surrounding cities and villages and many games were also bought (images pinned down) which were amazing, it is a must to go place, please go and seek the blessings.

Very nice temple with ample space around the same. I visited on the 190th birth anniversary and jatra day of this matha. There's ample parking space infront of the temple and regular ann prasad is served to devotees visiting.

This is a place where one can exhaust all his problems by surrendering to bothe Swamiji. I have experienced this all through. Though I haveve problems to encounter, I whole heartedly surrender and pray for relief. .

Shri Siddharoodh Swami Math in Hubli is an ancient and historically significant temple, revered as the site of Sadguru Siddharudha Maharaj's samadhi, which is actively worshipped. The math offers Anna Dasoham, a divine and tasty communal meal that is highly recommended. Considered one of the best historical temples in Hubli, it holds deep spiritual significance as the place where Siddharudha, believed to be an incarnation of Shiva, eventually settled and was recognized for his profound spiritual knowledge and saintly nature. People from various regions sought him out for solace and enlightenment. Visiting this math is a must for those seeking spiritual connection and historical understanding.

After a very long years I visited this place Beautiful and divine temple They serve food as prasad everyday We had best time after very long time

Beautiful and peaceful place for anyone with spiritual interest. The place is Well maintained near and clean atmosphere, good behaviour of staff and priests. The overall atmosphere is calm & devotional, making it a perfect spot to spend time in prayer and peace.

One of the best places to visit in Hubballi - Dharwad for peace and spirituality. I visited ISKCON Sri Krishna Balarama Temple alone on a Wednesday. It is located in a calm area, surrounded by greenery. The temple premises are very clean and nicely maintained. Beautiful carvings and nice decoration around the temple add to the devotional feel. The evening aarti was well organized. Bhajans were sung with full devotion, and the environment felt very peaceful. The volunteers at the temple were very polite and explained things patiently. It was a very good experience to spend some time alone in such a calm and spiritual atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for peace of mind and positive vibes. #iskconsrikrishnabalaramatemple #nammahubballidharwad

Temple itself is beautiful and peace, Hare Ram, Hare krishna, Weekend visit. Hubli Dharwad highway left side temple located.. reach to reach visit with family and friends Morning to up to 1 PM open Afternoon 4:30 PM reopen Beside cafe available for coffee and snacks

It's peaceful place to visit ,calm amd neat environment and It's very convent to cross the road .But it will take time to catch the chigari buses if you visit in afternoon. Due to less no of people visit during that time buses won't stop for a longer time .10AM is the best time to visit

It is a very beautiful place. I had the good fortune to visit here. Hare Krishna, 🙏🥰

I went to ISKON on krishna janmashtmi the temple was decorated with flowers lights all over and the energy there was so divine. The temple is under construction and is constructing huge. To get there:- Take a chigri bus or a local bus to iskon rayapur

Sadhanakere is a best place to visit when u r in Dharwad. You will love the place. But tank is very badly maintained. lot of bottles and plastics in it. Public should not throw thrash in this tank. Government authorities should take a serious action against visiters who does not keep public places cleen and tidy.

Good park to spend time with childrens,boating,gym,childrens game,good nature,entry fee 10rs.Timings morning 10am to 6pm.

Good place for walk and jog,, you can bring kids play area is in good condition. Picnic spot. But make sure you should not litter the place. As its a beautiful garden.

The park is beautifully done .But it lacks attention in its maintenance.(Toilet photos attached) It is sad to see basic lack of civic sense in people using it,the park is littered with plastic bottles , alcohol bottles and food packets .The authorities need to look into creating awareness on the upkeep and maintenance of the same . Also no park timings are mentioned on either gates(pictures attached ) ,a security employee assumes you know the timings ,falsely claims there are boards put up mentioning the same ,and in a very rude manner .It's a shame for the city to have provided such a great facility but it loses its beauty to certain factors as mentioned above.

Area is great but maintenance is poor. Even after taking money for entry, the lake and the the walking area is strewn with stinking plastic waste. Plastic/picnic/food should be banned inside the park premises and public bags should be checked or bag storage area to be provided to prevent this menace.

A good place in this locality, pleasant to relax during evening time. I visited this on Saturday and there was no much crowd. A lot to improve in terms of hygiene and cleaning the premises. But i do love to walk in this area, it's calm and peaceful. Please see attached images for more information and details. Pictures taken on 26/02/2022

Place is really peaceful, very beautiful.. Good for couples as well as family... More privacy for couples.. Reason for 3 * is.... Lake is fully spoilt... Toilets are not at all maintained well.... And no water at all in toilets..but Easy to reach from dharwad... Good number of buses are its positive

It’s like art & fun musium Realistic staues Nice green plants with pleasant atmosphere. Huge area , clean & spacious restaurant, Time required to explore 2 to 3 hours

We had taken one day pass which costed 850 rs per person and entry is free for children under 3 years of age. This includes breakfast, fruits, lunch and snacks. Also activities like boating, visit to the resort and auditorium, bullock cart ride, swimming pool access and rain dance. Also there’s kids play area, animal sculptures and scenes showing the rural occupations. It was a nice one day picnic with my family.

Worth for money, we enjoyed lot, food was delicious also staff mr. Mahesh was very humble. Thanks to Management.

Wonderful place for family time especially for children's , worthy for your package amount, 1) Village atmosphere 2) Beautiful nature 3) value for money (also Tiffin, lunch and snacks service available) 4) Good guidance with good behavior 5)

"I'm absolutely in awe of Kittur Fort, a true pride of Karnataka! Despite being ancient and partially destroyed, it showcases the scientific and safe lifestyle of our ancestors. The ongoing reconstruction work promises to restore its former glory, and I can't wait to visit again soon. Located between Dharwad and Belgaum, the fort is steeped in history, having witnessed many battles, including Rani Chennamma's brave fight against the British Army. The museum is a treasure trove of artifacts, with portraits, swords, and sculptures that bring history to life. The fort's surroundings are well-maintained, with a beautiful garden and ample parking. Each part of the fort is labeled, making it easy to explore. I loved the local school chorus singing patriotic songs about Rani Chennamma - it felt like walking through a movie! A big salute to our ancestors for their ingenuity and bravery. Kittur Fort is a must-visit, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in history, culture, and patriotism. The best part? It's free to visit, and the authorities deserve kudos for maintaining this awesome monument

Same is important and historical place, seen many battles in history. Its free to see, one musium is also there. Now fort is not in good condition. maintained and clean. surrounded by big wall. palace is middle of the fort. same is also not in good condition. but we can understand the history.

Small but beautiful ground fort. It's decently maintained and we were able to walk through all parts. Each part is labeled but it would have been great to have a short description of that area. The place is dilapidated but still feels beautiful. There was a local school chorus singing songs about Kittur Queen Chenamma when we visited and it felt very patriotic and made it feel like walking through a movie.

Historical place , Visit if you love history. I m from Gandigwad , Kittur Dynasty

Avoid this resort at all costs!!This place is a complete scam. They lure people in with positive reviews and photos of a different resort, but when we arrived, they shifted us to another property called *Wildernest* without any prior notice. When we questioned them, they gave a vague excuse, claiming they assign resorts based on "availability." Since we reached late at night, we had no choice but to stay. The resort we were sent to was poorly maintained, none of the promised activities were available, and the worst part — they served the *same food* for all three days! If you value your time and money, do not book this resort. It completely ruined our vacation experience.

This resort is very good for families and couples. It is also good for students to enjoy your holidays. They provides good service and they have great hospitality service. We have enjoyed a lot in the resort. I had recently visited with my family of 12. Great service and rooms was clean and hygienic. They served hot 3 meals with veg and non veg food it was so tasty and yummy. Staff were friendly and polite. The adventure activities was good. Don't miss river rafting it's one of the most famous adventure activities in dandeli. It's was good and thrilling. We loved it. Highly recommended to visit a wonderful place. Thank you🙏

We had a wonderful experience in the resort. The trip was amazing. I had trip with my friends. Nice place to enjoy with your friends and family. Lovely location, good service and good food, clean hygienic rooms and wonderful service.

Best budget resorts in Dandeli, wide range of water activities, all the resorts are in the midst of the nature away from city noise, Best gateaway to the nature, food is awesome same goes with the service, rooms are well furnished, helpfull staff ...

We enjoyed with my family and it's best resort I stayed . good service given and food also super and we done all water activities it's amazing.

We were searching for some view point and visited this place randomly. Really amazing to see and fantastic view. Only thing is photography not allowed inside premis. You can get some photos outside. Best view point i ever visited, soothing cold air and fog passes through you, we visited after noon so couldn't see much fog, morning is best time to visit. Do carry any ID proof as they will ask in checkpost. Must visit place.

Sykes Point is a must-visit destination in Dandeli, offering stunning views of the valley and surrounding forests. The confluence of River Kali and Nagzari River is a sight to behold. Trekking enthusiasts can enjoy the trails, while bird watchers can spot giant hornbills. Don't miss the sunset here. Permission from Karnataka Power Corporation is required, but it's worth the effort. Try for permission from KPCL security office at Ambikanagar in advance. Photography was not permitted.

It's beautiful and exciting side seeing into heart of the teak wood forest of Ambikanagar, Dandeli, But one to be noted you need to get permission from the Authorities of Karnataka Power Corporation Limited, Kalinadi Hydro Electric Project, Ambikanagar. Please keep the surrounding clean, so that our next generation can visit.

Indeed, visiting this place is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering breathtaking views of nature's wonder. However, to access this beautiful destination, it's essential to obtain permission from KPCL (Karnataka Power Corporation Limited) in Ambikanagar, Dandeli. Once permission is granted, you'll be rewarded with a mesmerizing viewpoint of River Kali as it flows through a deep V-shaped gorge. The river gracefully curves around 90 degrees first towards the right and then towards the left, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight that showcases the raw power and beauty of nature.

Heaven of dandeli😍, such an amazing view no words to explain, just go and enjoy🤩. I took permission from one my friend who working in KPCL,thanks Vinay Math.

Beautiful place. One must need permission from the KPCL to reach here. The view of the river flowing is a Man made and not a natural one. Must visit for the view and the Sunset.

Mesmerising views and the aesthetics of the place are just too good. Restricted to the general public. In order to visit, one must obtain prior permission from the authorities at KPCL. Well maintained. Parking is available too. I recommend visiting during the evening to experience the sunset. Photography is restricted too.😬

A place which will be open on MAHASHIVARATRI.... trek to the peak and get the blessings of LORD SHIVA... It takes generally 4 to 5 hours to reach ( including the waiting time of an average 2 to 3 hr )

One of the lifetime experience ever had , the struggle the crowd the pain to Visualise the God was worth 🙌🏻✨ It takes power to sustain such hardship during the journey ✨ and that power is all his blessings 🙏🏻 Har Har Mahadev 🔱

It's a religious place, also one of the beautiful Trekking routes in Dandeli but it'll be open only for 2 days in Shivaratri.

Most valuable place but it is open once in a year I recommend visitors come from the dandeli route. Because ambhikanagar traking is difficult and there's in no facility

It opens once in every year on shivratri. Where lakhs of people arrive here. Bus facility is available from the circle to the base of the hill,later 4km walk with intermittent tea and water is provided. After reaching the spot we see an old Shiva lingu inside the cave.

Whenever I tell my mother about my new trip plans, she used to ask me, "you are going to any temple there?" . But ended up not visiting any. This time unexpected Dandeli trip lead me and my friends to this amazing place called Kavala Caves. which is hidden for outside world except on Shivarathri. 8km trek was definitely worth visiting this place. Among the less places explored in my life, this place sure is a gem. Om Namah Shivayah

A beautiful place for a trek, naturally formed Shiva Linga. Have to trek for 4 kms to reach the descent point, where you have to go down about 500 steps, very scenic and chances of spotting Sambar or barking deer very high, just loved it, highly recommended for trekkers and nature lovers

An elegant waterfall. You get to see it from three to four different viewpoints. The water falls down with quite a force and flows through a lovely green valley. The trek is doable by any age group.

I recently visited Magod Waterfalls, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. Surrounded by dense forest and greenery, this waterfall is one of the best natural attractions near Dandeli. The view is truly mesmerizing, especially in the rainy season when the water gushes down with full force, creating mist and fog all around. The atmosphere feels cool, fresh, and magical, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. You can capture some really amazing pictures here, as the fog and greenery create a picture-perfect frame from almost every angle. One of the things I really liked about this place is the convenience of reaching it. The road is good, and there is plenty of space for car parking, so visitors don’t have to worry about their vehicles. Even if you are traveling in a large group, parking is not a problem. The viewing points are safe and offer a clear panoramic sight of the falls and surrounding valleys. Magod Waterfalls is not just about the waterfall itself, but also the serene environment that makes you want to sit and enjoy the natural beauty for hours. If you are in or around Dandeli or Yellapur, this is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended during the monsoon season for the best experience.

It is a sight to behold in the monsoons with its deafening roar and sheer volumes of water. It starts somewhere deep in the forests of the Western Ghats in the Sahyadris of Uttara Kannada, Karnataka. It plunges 200 meters in two steps along with 2 scenic bends that form for a spectacle especially when it is gushing with lots of water. I am talking about the Bedti river and its famous 200 m fall that we know as Magod Falls. This magnificent waterfall can be viewed from a series of view points, which is more like a hike by a ridge in the middle of dense forest. Set with multiple view points, the visitor can admire the view of this surreal waterfall from different perspectives along the short hike. While one viewpoint treats you to the view of the full Magod bend, the others treat you to sensational views of the waterfall and the entire forest landscape. The heavy gust of wind that blows straight at you through the valley is an added thrill..... Magod Falls is a top monsoon holiday destination and its beauty is unparalleled when the copious flow of water is muddy, the mist moves in and out, the landscape is lush green and the trail that you walk on is teeming with wild activity. It also offers great photographic opportunities right after the rains. If you love waterfall holidays, monsoon holidays or if you are headed towards the Uttara Kannada region of Karnataka, you should definitely visit this gorgeous waterfall..... I totally recommend it!

If you visit these falls, then at the same 10km distance, another falls is present, where you have to trek downhill, it will be fun!!

Due to the fog, we couldn’t enjoy the complete view of the falls, but it is still one of the best waterfalls with a truly breathtaking sight

An mind blowing place to visit with couples and family.. This place has a kacha road..so pls while travelling do take care

Super and wonderful place.eye feast for nature lover's.
