Reisroute
We halen de gast op bij het hotel en rijden direct naar de Veerabhadra Swamy Tempel in Lepakshi, Andhra Pradesh een opmerkelijke 16e-eeuwse tempel gebouwd tijdens het Vijayanagara Rijk door Viranna en Virupanna, gouverneurs onder koning Achyuta Deva Raya (de broer van Krishna Deva Raya). De tempel staat bekend om zijn ingewikkelde houtsnijwerk, prachtige plafondfresco's en de beroemde hangende pilaar die architectonische schittering toont.
Vervolgens bezoeken we de Lepakshi Bull Temple, gelegen op ongeveer 200 meter van de hoofdtempel. Op deze site staat een massief monolithisch standbeeld van Nandi, de berg van Lord Shiva, gehouwen uit een enkel blok graniet. Het is een van de grootste Nandi-beelden in India en prachtig gebeeldhouwd met gedetailleerde ornamenten.
Daarna gaan we verder naar Jatayu Theme Park, dat de dappere mythische vogel Jatayu uit de Ramayana eert. Volgens de legende is dit de plek waar Jatayu viel nadat hij met Râvana had gevochten om Sîtâ te redden. Van de naam 'Lepakshi' wordt gezegd dat het 'Sta op, vogel!' betekent. woorden gesproken door Heer Rama tot de gewonde Jatayu. Het park beschikt over sculpturen en thematische tentoonstellingen die deze nobele episode uit het epos illustreren.
Vervolgens nemen we een pauze voor de lunch bij Big Bay India | Highway Pitstop, een populaire en goed onderhouden food court aan de snelweg. Hier kunnen gasten genieten van een authentieke, traditionele Zuid-Indiase vegetarische lunch geserveerd in een schone en comfortabele omgeving. De maaltijden worden vers bereid en omvatten lokale delicatessen zoals sambar, rasam, wrongelrijst en een verscheidenheid aan seizoensgebonden groenten geserveerd met rijst en knapperige papad, die een gezonde smaak van zuidelijke gastvrijheid bieden.
Onze laatste stop is het Isha Foundation Center in Chikkaballapur, de thuisbasis van de majestueuze 112-voet buste van Adiyogi Shiva erkend door Guinness World Records als 's werelds grootste bustesculptuur. Opgericht door spiritueel leider Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, is dit serene centrum een ruimte voor innerlijk welzijn, yoga en meditatie. Omgeven door schilderachtige heuvels, symboliseert het Adiyogi standbeeld de bron van yoga en dient als een inspirerende spirituele bezienswaardigheid in Karnataka. Na deze verrijkende dag rijden we terug en zetten de gast af bij het hotel.

This experience we will never forget. We were here for a business trip and in our off day we had an amazing trip to Lepaski and Adiyogi temples for an tour for one day. We recharged during this trip, the atmosphere from the temples gave us peaceful time. We really enjoyed this experience and we are very grateful we had this opportunity. Many thanks to Aakash and the driver. Both ware very professional, friendly and helpfully. Thanks to Aakash we learn so many new things, we explore the India culture and hear stories that we will tell to our family further. We tasted the original Indian food, we prayed and took amazing pictures. The way to the temples was okay, no crowds and even if outside was a sunny day, we had all condition in the cab. Hope we will return in India to explore more and definitely we require Aakash as a guide (he already knows how many people will ask him for pictures 😂)and of course we will recommend to everyone who will visit Bangalore. You are doing a great job! Thanks again, because of you, we made amazing memories.
My trip to Lepakshi with Aakash was excellent. I had some doubts at first - going straight from a night flight to a full-day trip didn’t sound like the best idea. In reality, it worked in my favor. It helped me deal with jet lag and made the rest of my week easier. Back to the tour itself - Aakash is very knowledgeable, easygoing, and always in a good mood. He shared a lot of details about the Lepakshi temple, and I honestly didn’t expect that level of depth. I learned much more than I thought I would. He also paid attention to small things. At one point I said I needed coffee to stay awake - no problem, we stopped on the way and sorted it out. Overall, a very smooth and enjoyable experience. I liked it enough to book another trip with the same team to Mysore a week later. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 We’re really glad both your Lepakshi and Mysore tours went so well and even helped you manage the jet lag that’s wonderful to hear. Aakash will be very happy to read this. He always puts in extra effort to share meaningful insights and make sure everything is smooth and comfortable, right down to the small details. It was truly a pleasure hosting you on both trips, and we’re grateful you chose to travel with us again. Looking forward to welcoming you on another memorable experience soon!
The tour was very interesting. Both sites ware worth to visit. I enjoyed especiallly Lepakshi Temple, it is a butiful place full of history. My guide Aakash was very friendly and knowledgable. He shared with me a lot of information about not only history of the places, but also about India, local customs, cousine and current live. I would definitely book a other trip with this operator. I would only think if it is possible to ad some more places to the trip and make it a little longer to take full day, as it was only half of a day trip
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed both sites, especially Lepakshi Temple, and that Aakash made your tour informative and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your suggestion as well, we’ll definitely consider adding more places and extending the trip in the future. Thank you again, and we’d love to host you on another tour soon! 🙏😊
This trip was so much fun and just amazing! I love how responsive the company is! I reached out to them directly, and they got back to me within a few minutes and answered all my questions. The tour boys are super friendly and kind, and took care of me just beyond and wonderful. Thank you for that amazing experience! I will be back when I visit the country next time! 😊
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it truly means a lot to us! We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing experience and that our team took good care of you. We really appreciate your kind words, and we look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to India 😊🙏
This tour was a great experiance to learn about the history and culture of India. The tour guide Ayannar from Samarpith Tours was very helpful and give us a lot of information about the history of the place. The only problem is the washrooms that are very dirty.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad you enjoyed learning about the history and culture of India, and that Ayannar could make the experience informative and helpful. We appreciate your comment about the washrooms and will take this into consideration. Hope to welcome you again on another tour.
I really enjoyed my tour with Aakash. He knows the history of the temples and you can tell he loves to share it, even with others listening in on our tour. He took pics of me whenever I wanted one, and even suggested spots too. We kept great communication throughout our trip, sharing our favorite movies/series, pics of our pets; just overall great constant conversation, even during the 2 hour drive; which he let me take the lead, as talking/conversing isn’t required, but I personally enjoy getting to know others. Highly recommend Aakash, a very personable, patient, kind man that reflects the spirit of India. His seva bhav is obvious and deeply appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re very happy to hear you had a great experience with Aakash. His passion, patience, and seva bhav truly reflect the spirit of India. We’ll be sure to share your lovely words with him. Hope to welcome you again soon!
Jay was the greatest tour guide. He was an absolute chiller. Genius knowledge and storytelling abilities. We were enthralled by every word. We got to see everything with perfect pacing. Great day.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour and had a great day exploring. Hope to see you again on another visit!
Had a great time, very atmospheric and nice to see the temples and learn about the history. The sights are quite impressive to look at.
Thank you so much! We're really happy to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the temples, the atmosphere, and the history. Glad the sights impressed you hope to see you again on another tour! 🙏✨
My first trip to India has been an unforgettable experience, especially my visit to Bangalore. Among the many historical sites I explored, the Veerabhadra Temple left a lasting impression on me. Its intricate carvings, majestic sculptures, and spiritual atmosphere reflect the depth of India’s ancient art and devotion. As I read the Bhagavad Gita and Shreemad Bhagvatam, I feel a profound connection to the country’s philosophy and timeless wisdom. This journey has truly touched my heart and inspired my spirit. I also am very grateful to the agency and the tour guide for taking us to this place. Sites of Nandi monument, Garuda statue and Isha foundation... All are very dear and memorable places to visit. I wish to come again 🙏🙂 Nadia and Elamaran

It was such a great full day experience visiting so many different sites! I really appreciated having a knowledgeable guide who not only shared the history but also his own personal stories, which made the tour even more engaging. It’s a wonderful experience you won’t regret going, and you’ll come back with some amazing photos too!
