Karnataka

Karnataka is a state in southwest India with Arabian Sea coastlines. Originally known as the State of Mysore, it was renamed Karnataka in 1973. The capital, Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), is a high-tech hub known for its shopping and nightlife. 

With an antiquity that dates to the paleolithic, Karnataka has been home to some of the most powerful empires of ancient and medieval India. The philosophers and musical bards patronised by these empires launched socio-religious and literary movements which have endured to the present day. Karnataka has contributed significantly to both forms of Indian classical music, the Carnatic and Hindustani traditions.


We just returned from Paris and I are thanking you for the incredible job you did in putting our trip together.

We are very appreciative for everything you did for us and everything went very well. We’re safe and sound back home thinking about the joy we experienced. We loved the tours, the museums, the hotel and its staff … everything just perfect!!!! The pleasure was mine in working with you Diane, you responded quickly to every question, set up transportation and tours I would have never imagined. You prepared us both very well for our first to Paris, everything went so smoothly. Thank you again!
