www.karnatakatourism.com is a private travel portal created and maintained by Padaki Tours and Travels, Bangalore. We are specialists in organizing hotel accommodation at various leisure and business locations in Karnataka, India.

 This portal is the brainchild of T.V.Muralidhar Padaki, an entrepreneur by profession who is also a keen player in the internet space for the last 10 years. He has to his credit, the launch of kannada language on the internet in 1996 and managing www.udayavani.com for 3 years thereafter. During the year 1996 he ventured into this portal, www.karnatakatourism.com and found success in offering not only the tourism information to net savvy techies but also a facility to book hotels and resorts in Karnataka through this medium, unknown to many those days.

Today in the year 2007, having completed 10 years in this business, we are proud to be one of the most successful websites for tourism information about the state and have contracted with more than 85 to 90 properties to reckon with. These properties include budget hotels, star resorts, experiential holidays and adventure tourism.

The team is small and compact lead by Muralidhar, Jayaprakash Naik who heads the marketing and Website maintainance and 2 others for client handling. We believe in having a small set up yet offer maximum service to all our customers.

Our clientele include honeymooners, families, school children, corporate houses and foreigners visiting India. We have special contracts with Honeywell, Philips software Centre, Tesco, SLK Softare services etc.,
 

Our business philosophy:

  • Offer different categories of hotels and resorts for each destination to the client and guide them to pick and choose the right one from the list.
  • Have first hand experience of seeing the property before it being listed to offer smallest bit of information to the client.
  • Try and convert each prospect into business and have them serviced for many years to come by.
