A hearty Karnataka classic of rice, lentils, vegetables, and spices—best enjoyed at local vegetarian eateries.

Must-Try!

Finger millet balls served with a thick curry; a quintessential rural staple found in most households and eateries.

Seasonal hyacinth beans curry, a winter specialty often paired with rice or akki rotti.

Tamarind-based sambar or a coastal-style chicken curry depending on the restaurant; try both at city eateries.

Greet with Namaskāra (hand gesture) and make eye contact; show respect to elders.

Modest clothing when visiting religious sites; remove shoes where required and avoid loud behavior.

Ask permission before taking photos of people; some venues may restrict photography inside temples.

Respect personal space; avoid pointing with a finger indoors.

Tipping is customary but not mandatory; 5-10% in mid-range restaurants if service is good; smaller tips for street food and casual eateries.

Cash is widely accepted; digital payments (UPI, wallets) are common in towns and larger shops; cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants.

Hot and dry with temperatures often in the mid-30s C; stay hydrated, wear a hat, and seek shade in the afternoons.

Relatively heavy rainfall from June to September; pleasant greenery, occasional flash floods; carry a light rain jacket.

Cooler mornings and evenings with pleasant daytime temperatures; great for outdoor sightseeing and photography.

Mild temperatures and blooming flora; ideal for outdoor markets and hill walks.

Most dishes are vegetarian by default; request no onion/garlic if needed and opt for millet-based options.

Ragi (finger millet) and rice-based dishes are naturally gluten-free; inform staff to avoid cross-contamination and dairy if needed.
