点评:We decided to see something of Karnataka as we travelled from Goa down to Kerala and saw good reviews of Ganesh Voyages so contacted Balaji who was very responsive and tweaked our trip to include a Tiger Reserve visit. Price was reasonable and hotels included were excellent. Manju the driver was great - very careful and punctual. All the guides included were good.
We visited:
- Badami caves - intriguing to see. First thing we learned is that getting a cold beer in Karnataka is tricky - the Golden Cave restaurant has good food and will serve beer.
- Palikatti and Aihole enroute were both good.
- Hampi - excellent ruins to visit - it is a huge complex. Heritage hotel was great afterwards for a cool swim and night traditional shows.
- Chikmagalur hill station - very nice environment for a change of scene from temples.
- early start to get to Helibadu - again nice temples particularly the small Jain temple. then Belur - very busy town and site and stayed at Hoysala Resort near Hassan - nice pool and very friendly restaurant.
- B.R. Hills K Gudi reserve - sadly Tigers were elusive that day, but saw Bears and fun jeep rides - tip: ask for tented bungalow. Food and ambience was great.
We ended at Bangalore - very manic but interesting to see before flying down to Kochi.
Overall great trip, service and very well organised 😎
翻译:我们从果阿前往喀拉拉邦的途中,决定顺道游览卡纳塔克邦。看到 Ganesh Voyages 的评价不错,便联系了 Balaji。他回复迅速,并调整了我们的行程,加入了老虎保护区的参观。价格合理,包含的酒店也很棒。司机 Manju 非常出色,驾驶谨慎,而且准时。所有导游也都很棒。
我们游览了:
- 巴达米石窟 - 非常引人入胜。我们首先了解到的是,在卡纳塔克邦想喝到冰镇啤酒并不容易——Golden Cave 餐厅的食物很好,而且供应啤酒。
- 途中经过的帕利卡蒂和艾霍尔也很不错。
- 汉皮 - 非常值得一游的遗址,规模庞大。之后入住的 Heritage Hotel 非常棒,可以游泳,晚上还能欣赏传统表演。
- 奇克马加卢尔山地度假村 - 环境优美,可以换换口味,远离寺庙的喧嚣。
- 我们一大早就出发前往赫利巴杜 - 那里也有漂亮的寺庙,尤其是那座小小的耆那教寺庙。然后去了贝鲁尔——一个非常热闹的小镇,我们住在哈桑附近的霍伊萨拉度假村——泳池很棒,餐厅也很友好。
——去了B.R. Hills K Gudi自然保护区——可惜那天没看到老虎,不过看到了熊,还体验了吉普车之旅——小贴士:可以预订帐篷式小屋。食物和氛围都很棒。
最后我们去了班加罗尔——非常喧闹,不过在飞往科钦之前去看看这座城市也挺有意思的。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的旅行,服务周到,组织得也非常好😎
