  3. Cave Temples

    Badami’s highlight is its beautiful cave temples. Non-pushy and informed guides ask Rs200 for a tour of the caves, or Rs300 for the whole site. Watch out for pesky monkeys!

    Desperately missing your Continental breakfast platter? You’ll find it here, along with several other tasty non-veg bites. The manager is a picture of politeness.

  5. Banashree

    In front of Hotel Rajsangam, this tidy pure-veg place makes one of the best North Indian thalis (Rs65) to be found in these parts. It’s tasty to the last morsel.

  6. Hotel Sanman

    You might call it ropey, but it feels kind of nice to disappear behind a curtain in the booths and sip on your beer in peace. The food is average.
