KSTDC’s endeavour to boost tourism in North Karnataka
The coronavirus pandemic had literally shut the entire globe as travel and tourism had taken a backseat. However, as the world grapples with regaining freedom of movement post lockdown, KSTDC is taking all precautionary measures to make your stay at our Mayura Group of Hotels safe and sound.
Known as ‘One State, Many Worlds’, the state of Karnataka is famous for its natural beauty, cultural landscape and architectural heritage. There is something to satiate the wanderlust of every discerning tourist and traveler. KSTDC runs and operates 9 premium and 13 budget Hotel Mayuras across the state. Located at the prime locations with the best view, Hotel Mayura is often the best choice for relaxing, family holidays, staycation or workation.
In the effort to provide a holistic travel experience, the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) has recently opened two new premium properties in Vijayapura (Bijapura) and Almatti, besides starting a new Hotel at Yegachi, Belur and adding a new block of 10 rooms at Jog falls.
Hotel Mayura Adil Shahi, Vijayapura
The foundation of the historic city of Vijayapura or the City of Victory was laid down during the reign of the Chalukyan dynasty between the 10th and 11th centuries and it experienced a great burst of architectural activity under the Adil Shahi dynasty. The city is renowned for Gol-Gumbaz, Jumma Masjid, Bara Kamaan, Gajanan Temple, Ibrahim Roza, Taj Bawdi, Malik-e-Maidan, Methar Mahal, Gagan Mahal, Jala Manzil, Upli Burj, Shivagiri, Siddeshwar Temple, etc. Located at a short distance from the Gol Gumbaz, the KSTDC Hotel Mayura Adilshahi Bijapur gives a glorious view of the monument. This small, yet cozy and Heritage property has 21 comfortable rooms and a restaurant, which serves the best food delicacies of Bijapur to its guests.
Hotel Mayura Krishna, Almatti
The mesmerising Almatti Dam on Krishna River is every tourist’s delight. It is gaining popularity as a picnic spot, with well-maintained and sprawling gardens and boating facilities. Situated at a vantage point atop
a hill, Hotel Mayura Krishna gives a panoramic view of the reservoir, dam, river, gardens and the agriculture fields. It has 14 deluxe rooms with 2 suite rooms and 7 individual cottages. With Kudal Sangama, Badami, Aihole, Pattadakal and Bijapura at a driving distance, Hotel Mayura Krishna is the perfect place to stay to explore these famous tourist spots.
Hotel Mayura Yagachi, Belur
The ancient town of Belur has numerous monuments and temples built by the Hoysala rulers over a period of 300 years, which is a testimony of their love for art and architecture. The major attractions include the artistically carved Chenna Keshava Temple built in the 12th century by the Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana and the Gravity Pillar built during the reign of Vijayanagara Empire.
Yagachi Dam, built on the Yagachi river is yet another spot gaining popularity with the tourists. With rooms overlooking the Yegachi dam, Hotel Mayura Yagachi gives its guests a chance to relax to the sounds of water being released from the dam. The cool breeze from the dam and stunning views of the sunset make for a perfect staycation.
Hotel Mayura Gerusoppa, Jog Falls
Last but not least, a trip to Karnataka would be incomplete without sighting the enchanting Jog falls. Also known as Gerusoppa falls, it is the 2nd highest plunge waterfalls in India as it drops directly and does not stream on to the rocks. Your visit to Jog Falls will become memorable for a lifetime by the excellent lodging facilities and hospitable staff at Hotel Mayura Gerusoppa Jog falls. One can just sit by the window in their room and enjoy the majestic sight and sound of the Jog Falls. Keeping up with the demands and the quest to serve our guests in the best possible way, KSTDC has added another block to hotel Mayura Gerusoppa. The newly renovated block, almost 140 years old heritage building, is located within the same premises. With this, we have added 10 new rooms and a renovated restaurant to our property at Jog Falls.
