About This Tour
Our destination will be the legendary cave temples built by the Chalukyas at Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal. Dating back to the 6th century, these are considered one of the best remnants of temple art in India. The Chalukyas patronized development of diverse cultural forms especially cave art and temple architecture. The architects developed 16 types of free-standing temples and 4 types of rock-cut shrines. The monuments of Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal transformed the Malaprabha river valley into a cradle of Temple Architecture. This tour is organized by Five Senses Tours, a private limited company recognized by the Ministry of Tourism and a member of the Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO). The tour has been designed to support local livelihoods by way of employment of local guides, and supporting local businesses in line with the mission of the company to ensure travel dollars stay where they are spent.
