A heritage place that was the capital of the Badami Chalukyas, today it has transformed into a dusty, modern town that has managed to cling on to its rich history. You can amble along old-world streets to take in rustic houses {some of them have beautifully carved doorways and pillars that are worth an Instagram post or two}. And of course, there are the Badami caves and the brick-coloured, 5th century Bhutanath Temples that line the Agasythya Tank. Badami is yet to be overcrowded by tourists so you can expect well-priced hotels and restaurants during your holiday here.
