Your journey of a lifetime begins in Bangalore. Upon arrival at the international airport, you will be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel. Once a quiet town, Bangalore has transformed into India’s thriving IT hub and one of the nation’s most progressive cities. Aptly called “A Tale of Two Cities,” Bangalore beautifully merges contrasting worlds—the historic central district, echoing the charm of the British Raj, and the modern, tech-driven outskirts reminiscent of Silicon Valley.

As part of this enchanting journey, you will explore the city’s rich heritage, including a visit to the Bangalore Palace, one of the city’s most iconic attractions. Admire its elegant splendor and royal charm as you take a walking tour through this architectural marvel—a perfect blend of Tudor and Scottish Gothic styles, adorned with intricate wooden interiors. Note: Guests arriving on afternoon flights will visit Bangalore Palace on Day 2 at 09:45 hrs.

After breakfast, drive to Mysore with a stop at Srirangapatnam, a historic fort town on an island in the Cauvery River. It was the seat of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan and the de facto capital of southern India in the 18th century. The British defeated Tipu Sultan here in 1799. You can still see the fort’s ramparts, battlements, and remaining gates.

Next, visit Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, 14 km before Mysore. Spread over 40 acres along the Cauvery River, it is home to local and migratory birds including shags, white ibis, darters, peafowl, pond herons, wild ducks, painted storks, kingfishers, cattle egrets, and river terns.

In Mysore, visit the Lalith Mahal Palace, the second largest palace in the city. Built in the 20th century for the Viceroy of India, it features white walls, Renaissance architecture, and landscaped gardens.

After breakfast, visit the Mysore Palace, one of India’s grandest royal buildings and a prime example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. Explore the palace halls, Doll’s Pavilion, and Elephant Gate, and admire features like stained-glass ceilings and the golden elephant howdah, reflecting the opulent lifestyle of the Maharajas of Mysore.

In the afternoon, visit the Chamundeshwari Temple on Chamundi Hill, dedicated to the deity worshiped by Mysore Maharajas. Climb the steps to see the temple tower and granite statues, including the 16-foot statue of Nandi, gifted by Maharaja Dodda Devaraja Wodeyar in 1659.

Also included is a drive to St. Philomena’s Church, built in 1936 and inspired by the Cologne Cathedral in Germany. It is one of the oldest churches in India.
