Karnataka Kalaidoscope​​
HAMPI | AIHOLE | ILKAL | PATTADAKAL | BADAMI
Overview
This journey traces the heart of North Karnataka, where temple towns, craft villages, and ancient empires quietly coexist. Walk through UNESCO-listed Chalukyan and Vijayanagara monuments while understanding the stories, symbolism, and lives behind the stone.
Engage closely with Ilkal and Guledgudda weavers to witness heritage crafts, techniques, and everyday rhythms that still endure. Balanced with slow drives, local interactions, and reflective pauses, this itinerary offers a deeper, grounded way to experience the region, not just see it.

I had an absolutely fantastic tour with Polama. For non travellers like me, having everything (yes! everything) taken care of was the clincher for me. From food for the stomach to the food for the soul , they go out of their way to take care of you. They made sure the trip was fun, informative and helped build new friendships. They are a great blend of thoroughly professional and totally personal. Large hearted and fun oriented !!
