Bijapur is a beautiful city situated in Karnataka and serves
as a memorable getaway from Bangalore. The city is dotted with historical and
architectural splendors that date back to the 11th century. The city was
established by the Chalukya
Bijapur is a place that is redolent of the past. The
architecture of the city and its innumerable monuments tell tourists the story
of a city that once had a rich culture and heritage. It is located at a
distance of 521 kilometers from Bangalore and time may have stripped much of
Bijapur's splendor, but its mosques, minarets and forts still stand testimony
to a grand past.
The best time to visit Bijapur is September and April. The
city is well connected to all the major cities of the country by rail and
