Belur & Halebid temples have one of the finest collection of sculptures in India. The sculptures are fantastic in terms of the intricacy of the carvings. Best exemplifies by the bracelets on the arms of one of the dancer statues can be moved up and down! Another noteworthy characteristic of sculptures in Belur is that sculptures at Belur is that they are signed off by the respective sculptors like in a painting, often as a boastful epithet. Our cultural evangelist will take you back in time to the 12th century to relive the glory days of this Kingdom.

I had booked the private tour of Royal Mysore with Five senses tours and we had Satish as our guide. It was an amazing day. Satish was a fantastic person with immence knowledge. He was also very caring and took very good care of us who were all first time visitors in India. Mysore was incredible and the palace is no less than Taj Mahal. We also saw other parts of this old kingdom like the old bazaar and few more palaces. The lunch was fingerlicking. Satish had suggested traditional Mysore meals and it was a great experience. Go ahead and book this whenever you are in India! Fully recommended.

This is simply the best cycling trail that you would see around Bangalore. ‘A passage to India’ and ‘Sholay’ movies were shot here. It is a pure countryside cycling. On this one-day safari, discover old visions of India: a land of cows, monkeys, laughing children, rice paddies, mango orchards, rose nurseries, granite cliffs and temple after temple; and climb the Ramadevara Betta hill. This is a real rural India experience that you won’t find on other itineraries. An enjoyable ride that finishes with an astounding view from the top of the hill and you will find nothing but the sound of silence for company. This trip leaves you in no doubt that you certainly are on a rural holiday!

This is the second time I was a part of an Unventured expedition. A friend and I decided to partake the Makalidurga Fort Hike. Like the last trip I took with Unventured which was the Nandi Hills cycling tour, everything was very well organized. Our guide Guru was enthusiastic, professional and friendly. I did not expect the hike to be on such rocky terrain or to be so steep. I am apprehensive of slippery rocks and steep heights. However I have to commend our guide here for the extent of his encouragement. He literally goaded me and pulled up up to the fort and assisted me a great deal while descending as well. The terrain was frankly difficult for me and terrifying at times. I only wish a bit more description of what to expect from the terrain was given. Still, as with Unventured tours it was an experience to remember for a lifetime. The fort, the temple on top and the views were spectacular as was the surrounding forest and the nature that we saw. In the end the sense of exhilaration is enormous. I got what I came for. Thank you Unventured Tours.
