Why go to Badami
Rock-cut cave temples and the Agastya lake. Chalukya cave temples cut into red sandstone cliffs, with Aihole and Pattadakal nearby.
Is it worth it?
Badami deserves a night — the 3.5-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
