Bangalore Day Trip Hoysala Temples and Stone Giant

Overview

Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Bangalore and travel through scenic countryside toward one of Karnataka’s most remarkable spiritual sites, Shravanabelagola.
Climb approximately 700 ancient stone steps to reach the summit, where the majestic Gomateshwara Statue stands tall. Carved from a single rock over a thousand years ago, this 57 foot statue is both a spiritual symbol and an architectural marvel.

Throughout the day, enjoy traditional South Indian breakfast and lunch, featuring local favorites like dosa, idli, and rich filter coffee. Travel in comfort with a small group, allowing for a relaxed and immersive cultural experience.
