A nine-day circuit from Hubli combines India’s ancient temple architecture, a Western Ghats tiger reserve and Goa’s beaches. Expect long drives, guided archaeological tours, two jeep safaris in Anshi and relaxed coastal days to finish.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive in Hubli at first light and the road unfurls: scrubby plains give way to red sandstone boulders and the Tungabhadra River daring you toward Hampi's ruined temples. By afternoon the air tastes of dust, incense and sea salt—a strange prelude to the beaches that close the loop in Goa.
