Karnataka does offer some varied holiday options. Unfortunately, it has not been marketed too well. Whether you are a beah lover, hill-billy, wildlife enthusiast, or a person looking to just chill - Karnataka offers some very good options. In fact, some of the best beaches in the country are located on the Karnataka coast.
