Hotels in Karnataka, India

Karnataka, in southwestern India, has a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: a cool winter from October to February, a hot summer from March to May, and a rainy monsoon from June to September. The region is famous for the ancient ruins of Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the opulent Mysore Palace, both best explored during the dry winter months when temperatures hover around 25°C (77°F). If you visit during the monsoon, head to the coffee plantations of Chikmagalur for lush greenery and cheaper stays, or during summer escape to the hill station of Coorg for trekking and spotting wildlife at Nagarhole National Park.
