Halebid Holidays

Halebid: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Halebid is a tiny village completely lost in the Karnataka countryside. Just 30 km from Hassan and only 16 from Belur, it's a 45 minute bus ride from Hassan to get to this haven of peace.
My suggestion
Halfway between the huge cities of Bangalore and Mysore, Hassan is a good base for visiting Halebid and Belur. Nevertheless, it is interesting to come and stay here in Halebid in the quiet of the Indian countryside.

My suggestion
Be sure to wander the lake's shores to experience the daily life of the Indians and enjoy a coconut away from the tourists.
