Day 1

Like exploring historical sites and getting in touch with past culture & society?, if yes then you should definitely have this age old Hindu and Jain temples on your next travel list .

Mode of travel- Air, Railway and road (Road ways suggestible public transport if your budget friendly traveller)
Stay - Easily accessible near the location
Budget - 2k for entire trip from Bangalore. I utilised public transport everywhere

Belur - Erstwhile capital of Hoysala empire. Chennakeshava and Shankareshwara temples are famous here. The art inscribed depicts stories from Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Halebidu - Around 15 kms from Belur, public transport available. Hoysaleshwara temple is famous here .

Can explore both temples in a day, however if you want to learn more in detail about sculptures and architecture suggestible to take a guide.
