3. BADAMI CAVE TEMPLES
• The Badami cave temples are composed of four caves, all carved out of soft
Badami sandstone on a hill cliff, dated to the late 6th to 7th centuries. The
plan of four caves (1 to 4) is simple; the entrance is a verandah (mukha
mandapa) with stone columns and brackets, a distinctive feature of these
caves, leading to a columned mandapa, or main hall (also maha mandapa),
and then to the small, square shrine (sanctum sanctorum, garbhaghrha) cut
deep inside the cave. The cave temples are linked by a stepped path with
intermediate terraces overlooking the town and lake. The cave temples are
labelled 1–4 in their ascending series; this numbering does not reflect the
sequence of excavation.
• The cave temples are dated to the 6th to 8th centuries, with an inscription
dated to 579–CE. The inscriptions are in old Kannada script. The
architecture includes structures built in the Nagara and Dravidian styles,
which is the first and most persistent architectural idiom to be adopted by
the early chalukyas. There is also a fifth natural cave temple in Badami, a
Buddhist temple, a natural cave that can only be entered by crouching on all
fours.

4. BANDIPUR NATIONAL PARK
Bandipur National Park, an 874-sq.-km
forested reserve in the southern Indian state
of Karnataka, is known for its small population
of tigers. Once the private hunting ground of
the Maharajas of Mysore, the park also
harbors Indian elephants, spotted deer, gaurs
(bison), antelopes and numerous other native
species. The 14th-century Himavad
Gopalaswamy Temple offers views from the
park's highest peak.

5. WESTERN GHATS
• The Western Ghats, also known as the Sahyadri Hills, are well
known for their rich and unique assemblage of flora and fauna.
Norman Myers included the Western Ghats amongst the 25
biodiversity hot-spots identified in the world.
• The Western Ghats extend from the Satpura Range in the north,
go south past Goa, through Karnataka and into Kerala and Tamil
Nadu end at Kanyakumari embracing Indian ocean. The major hill
range starting from the north is the Sahyadhri (the benevolent
mountains) range. This range is home to many hill stations like
Matheran,Lonavala-Khandala, Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani,Amboli
Ghat, Kudremukh and Kodagu. The range is called Sahyadri in
northern Maharashtra and Sahya Parvatam in Kerala. The Biligiri
ranges southeast of Mysore in Karnataka, meet the Shevaroys
(Servarayan range) and Tirumala range farther east, linking the
Western Ghats to the Eastern Ghats. In the south the range is
known as the Nilagiri malai in Tamil Nadu.

6. ABBEY FALLS
• Abbey Falls is in Kodagu, in the Western
Ghats in Karnataka. It is located 8 km from
the Madikeri, 268 km from Bangalore and 122 km
from Mysore.
• The river is part of the early reaches of the
river Kaveri. Flow is much higher during the
monsoon season.
• The waterfall is located between private coffee
plantations with stocky coffee bushes and spice
estates with trees entwined with pepper vines.

7. KUDREMUKH
• Kudremukh also spelled Kuduremukha is a mountain range
and name of a peak located in Chikkamagaluru district, in
Karnataka, India. It is also the name of a small hill station cum
mining town situated near the mountain, about 48 kilometres
from Karkala and around 20 kilometres from Kalasa. The
name Kuduremukha literally means 'horse-face' (in
the Kannada language) and refers to a particular picturesque
view of a side of the mountain that resembles a horse's face.
It was also referred to as 'Samseparvata', historically since it
was approached from Same village. Kuduremukh is
Karnataka's 3rd highest peak after Mullayangiri and Baba
Budangiri. The nearest airport is Mangalore International
Airport at Mangalore which is at distance of 99 kilometres.
