The town of Badami, the nearby villages of Aihole and Pattadakal in Malaprabha valley of central Karnataka, are celebrated for their magnificent rock-cut shrines and structural temples. These Hindu and Jain monuments are associated with the Early Chalukyas who reigned over this part of Deccan during 6th - 8th Centuries. Together these temples and shrines may be considered among the earliest, best preserved remnants of temple art in India.

We've known that prehistoric humans thrived in this region long before civilisations cropped up. The earliest residents here were nomadic cattle herders, who would seek shelter in the natural caves of the area during monsoons. On this tour we set out on an adventure to visit some of the accessible prehistoric sites around Hampi, along the way we will build a narrative of how life of early humans was in those times.  This is a tour for true adventure seekers and those that are interested in prehistory.
