Karnataka & Tamil Nadu, India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu together form one of India's richest cultural corridors, spanning the southern Deccan Plateau down to the tip of the subcontinent. Karnataka is known for the palace city of Mysuru, the ancient ruins of Hampi, and lush Western Ghats trekking and wildlife reserves, while its capital Bengaluru is a buzzing modern metropolis. Tamil Nadu draws travellers with its towering Dravidian temple complexes — from Madurai's Meenakshi Amman to the shore temples of Mahabalipuram — alongside vibrant classical music, dance, and some of India's most celebrated cuisine. Together they offer a compelling mix of history, spirituality, trekking, and coastal exploration along the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.

Mysore, Kabini & the Nilgiris Self-Launched: Bangalore to Wildlife Country Independently

A self-launched version of Travel Con's all-inclusive Bangalore–Mysore–Kabini–Coonoor loop, rebuilt for solo travellers using trains, KSRTC buses and self-booked jeep safaris. You'll still see Bangalore Fort and Lalbagh, the Mysore Palace and Chamundi Hill, three safari slots in Nagarhole/Kabini tiger reserve, and the tea slopes around Coonoor — but you book your own rooms, buy your own tickets and eat where you like. Budget estimate assumes shared/dorm-style accommodation, second-class or sleeper rail, and the standard Karnataka forest-department jeep safari rate (book early — safaris sell out weeks ahead in peak season). All figures are approximate and exclude flights to/from India.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Karnataka & Tamil Nadu, India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
