Karnataka’s heritage landscape includes the Group of Monuments at Hampi, the Group of Monuments at Pattadakal and the Sacred Ensembles of the Hoysalas, recognized by UNESCO for their architectural and cultural significance.

The State’s wildlife and nature offerings include destinations such as Bandipur National Park, Nagarahole National Park, Biligiri Ranganatha (BRT) Tiger Reserve and the forest landscapes of the Western Ghats. Karnataka’s coastline along the Arabian Sea further adds a distinct dimension to its tourism portfolio, with destinations including Karwar, Gokarna, Murudeshwar, Malpe and Ullal offering beaches, coastal cuisine, pilgrimage experiences and water-based activities.
Responsible and nature-based tourism will also form an important part of Karnataka’s destination narrative, with emphasis on experiences that respect local communities, cultural heritage and natural ecosystems. Wildlife tourism, eco-tourism, community-linked experiences and wellness retreats across the State provide travelers with opportunities to engage with Karnataka’s destinations in a more conscious and meaningful manner.

Karnataka’s cultural identity is reflected through its festivals, cuisine, handicrafts and living traditions, while Bengaluru’s strong technology, business and innovation ecosystem supports the State’s growing potential for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE). Together, these offerings position Karnataka as a destination capable of catering to a wide range of travel interests throughout the year.
Through its participation at TTF Mumbai 2026, Karnataka Tourism aims to expand destination awareness, pursue opportunities for itinerary development and collaborative promotion with travel partners in Maharashtra and Western India.
