What Should I See in Badami?

Visit the rock cut caves first, which is in the southern fort. Don't miss seeing where the crowds go because those are beautiful and awe-inspiring. Take a walk in the town of Badami to get a feel for what the people think of this area. Local people sort of make their relationship with Badami temples not because they have an understanding of a Chalukkha past. It's because the tourists there give them a sense that, oh, there is something here that people want to come and see.
