Geography

Getting to know Karnataka

Karnataka spans the Deccan plateau's southern reaches, the forested Western Ghats and a stretch of coastline on the Arabian Sea. Bengaluru anchors the state as India's technology capital, while Mysuru preserves its royal Wadiyar-dynasty palace, and the ruins of Hampi — once the Vijayanagara Empire's capital — spread across a boulder-strewn landscape further north. Coorg's misty hills to the west are among India's principal coffee-growing regions.
