Hotels in Karnataka, India

Karnataka is a state in southern India with a tropical climate, famous for the ancient Vijayanagara Empire ruins at Hampi and the coffee plantations of Coorg. The dry winter months from October to March bring pleasant temperatures around 70-80°F (21-27°C), perfect for exploring Hampi's boulder-strewn temples and trekking in Chikmagalur's hills. During the monsoon from June to September, rains make Jog Falls thunderous and offer budget-friendly stays, while summer's heat from April to June is best for escaping to the coastal town of Gokarna for swimming in the Arabian Sea.
