I am working on a project with a friend, to introduce keenly interested travellers to the past and present of Hoysala Kings and the dynasty. The idea is to take people on a guided tour to lesser known monuments in and around Belur and Halebeedu, not just limiting to those two well known places but to many more hidden but equally beautiful architectural wonders. The participants will get to know about how the kingdom evolved and flourished as they visit each of this location, and will hear stories, legends and historical facts related to the kingdom.
While trying to get travellers interested in history and help people know lesser known details of the kingdom, we are also trying to help people travel in some comfort, trying to accommodate participants in mid to lower mid-range home stays or resorts. We would like to get people of all travel-preferences to be able to come on the tour, while ensuring that the budget doesn’t go over the roof. I was wondering what is an ideal budget for a weekend trip. Typically the following elements would define the tour: Duration – 2 days and 1 night, leaving on Saturday morning from Bangalore and returning on Sunday night; Stay – mid-range to lower mid-range homestays or resort; Journey – Qualis or A/C tempo traveller for 6-10 people(nearly 600km round trip); Guided tour with extensive information and interesting stories covering 6 to 8 places in and around Belur and Halebeedu including those two. Even visits to Belur and Halebeedu will involve getting to know much more than what the ASI guides can tell you.
Please participate in the poll and let us know your price preference. It will help us plan the tour better. It would be great to hear your comments and feedback too. Thank you.

Sounds good but I am thinking that domestic and foreign tourists will have a different price in mind.
Thanks Priyank, at the moment, we are looking at local travellers.
Do contact me when you plan to arrange such a tour. It has been on our cards for close to year.
This is a great idea. Wish you both all the best. I definitely think there is a market for this. In Mumbai there is a guy who runs birding tours all over India and almost all his tours are over booked. I am sure there is a similar interest for historic places. I would go if I were living there. Just make sure that the arrangements are good.
Hey.. I’ve already cast my vote. I’d definetely be interested on going for a trip like this (As long as it dosen’t conflict with work). It’ll also give me a great chance to get used to my brand new nikon D80!
Thank you for your comments and inputs. You will hear more details in a week or two. Thanks.
