Badami

4.4
Caves · Sacred & Religious Sites · Bodies of Water
Famous for its cave temples, Badami served as the capital of the Badami Chalukyas from 540 to 757 CE--and this rich history has left plenty of things to do for visitors today. During your trip to Badami, explore its many temples carved into red sandstone, then take in views from its fort or learn about local archeology at the museum. While the city's main road does not have much tourist appeal, its side streets are lined with charming old homes and, from time to time, you may even stumble across a Chalukyan ruin. Plan your trip to Badami and other India destinations using our handy India trip maker.
