Our handwritten guide on Backpacking Karnataka

Karnataka is a region in India that is well known for its rich cultural heritage. The history of the entire country can be found in this part of it. Karnataka is known the world over for its colorful communities, diverse cultures, exotic flavors, and stunning landscapes. You see hills and plains, waterfalls and rivers, cities and villages, and a mixture of ancient culture and modern technology.

The diversity of the community in Karnataka is one of its main attractions. There are several tribes and sects across the region including the Kannadigas, Kodavas, Tuluvas and the Konkanis, all of whom are native to the area. Located in South India, Karnataka also plays host to the largest Tibetan settlement in that part of the country.

When you visit the capital city of the area, Bangalore, you will also see a large European population. English is spoken in the larger cities, while a knowledge of Hindi, Telugu, or Tamil should help you get by in the villages and small towns. Religion in the region is diverse too, with Jains, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and Buddhists living in harmony.

Accommodation in Karnataka is easy enough to find. You should search for hostels that are located near the many museums and historic sites of the area. Hostels can also be found in the cities and smaller towns. If you’re looking for something other than a hostel, there are also many hotels and homestays scattered around the region.

One thing Karnataka is truly famous for is the local cuisine. You should try out the traditional feasts of the region including the sweeter Kannadiga cooking and the other tribes’ food. International cuisine isn’t hard to find in the cities, where the large expatriate population has set up their own eateries and foreign restaurants.

You can also visit one of the many museums in the region for a better historically enlightening experience. The Government Museum is a good place to start. If you want to see ancient finds, check out the Archaeological Museum. Others include the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum, the Folklore Museum, and the HAL Aerospace Museum.

If you are looking for more natural experiences, there are also parks and guided tours through the countryside to take advantage of. From climbing the hills to exploring the banks of the rivers, Karnataka is a region you won’t tire of easily.
