Magnificent temples of Belur and Halebidu are the pinnacle of the unique "Hoysala" art and architecture. The Belur and Halebid temples give a glimpse of Hindu temple art at its glorious best of the 16th century. The temples are famous for their carvings and splendid architecture. The Hoysalas improved on the previous mega empires of Calukyas who are known for building extremely ornate temples in many parts of Karnataka noted for the sculptures in the walls, ceilings, curved pillars and many more. They Hoysala's followed Dravidian style, vesara style of architecture and yet left their mark by adding thier own unique form of architecture in the temple building.

Fascinating Heritage which can be explored in a day from Bangalore!. Comfortable pickup on time and then you are taken to the breathtaking temples of "Hoysala" era. The finely crafted temple pillars make you certainly wonder whether the temples are machine lathe cut!

My wife and I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Jai Singh. We were staying at a hotel not mentioned in his list of pick up sites, but Mr. Singh promptly responded to our request and had his driver pick us up at our hotel for a nominal charge. The vehicle was comfortable and the driver excellent. He knew the locations well. Overall, we had a memorable experience.
