Itinerary

  • N/A

    From the very start, we want you to know that this is the most comprehensive Mysore Tour available, offering an unparalleled collection of sites and experiences. Unlike other tours, we’ll visit every location listed, ensuring you see it all—not just a select few. Our first stop is a silk cocoon market, where sericulturists bring in millions of silk cocoons for sale. It's an astonishing sight to behold. With insights from our expert guide, you'll learn about the various stages of the famed Mysore silk production — from the cocoon to the yarn, which is then woven into cloth before becoming a wearable garment.

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    We believe food is an integral part of an Indian cultural experience; hence we start our tour early and detour from the highway to visit a traditional eatery serving authentic local breakfast. Here our accompanying guide will take you through a sumptuous culinary experience.

    45 minutes

  • Somnathpur Temple

    We get off the highway for an extended detour through lush countryside to reach this stunning UNESCO World heritage temple from 1268 AD. Some of humankind's most exquisite stone carvings and sculptures are here. Our accompanying expert guide will introduce its history, Hinduism, its pantheon of gods, and the context of each beautiful carving.

    1 hour

  • Mysuru Palace

    We explore this bejewelled palace, among the most visited sites in India and the home of one of the wealthiest individuals in the world in its heyday – the Maharaja of Mysore. From our accompanying expert guide, learn about the Wodeyar rulers and their incredible contributions to putting this region on the global map as we leisurely survey and explore the interiors & exteriors of this dazzling palace.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Devaraja Market

    Our accompanying expert guide will take you through a stroll inside an 1880s market stuck in a time warp. As you take a walk back in time, marvel at the sights, smells and sounds of the shops & people in the bazaar selling the choicest fruits, flowers, vegetables, bangles and local produce such as Jaggery, Attar, Masalas etc.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    From Mysore, we drive to the historic river island of Srirangapatana. Here we break for a relaxed and sumptuous lunch at this picturesque setting by the gurgling waters of the River Cauvery.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    Srirangapatna is a river island that has been coveted for millennia due to its strategic location, with the river acting as a natural barrier. The Srirangapatna Fort was established in the 1400s and served as the residence for the ruling class within its fortified precincts. This location gained global attention when the East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore clashed four times over the span of four decades. Driving through the fort and taking in the sights offers a fascinating glimpse into what it feels like to be inside one of the few 'living' forts in India.

    15 minutes

  • Dariya Daulat Palace - Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace

    Our final stop is the exquisite 1780s wooden palace of Tipu Sultan, where every inch of its interiors has delicate frescoes and murals of evocative battle scenes, floral and geometric patterns and portraits. Our accompanying expert guide will provide context to each handpainted artwork and regale you with stories of the valiant efforts of this ruler, the Tiger of Mysore, against the colonial powers of the time.

Awesome day trip from Bengaluru to Mysore Palace!

Published on Mar, 2025

Praveen and Chetan were excellent tour guides for our journey from Bengaluru to Mysuru. The Keshava Temple in Somanathapura and Mysore Palace in Mysuru were breathtaking, and our tour guides shared many interesting facts about them. They also knew just where to be to have a private encounter with some elephants at the palace, which was one of the highlights of my trip. The silk cocoon market was an unexpected delight, and Devaraja Market was a fun, colorful, bustling location to pick up a souvenir or two. Lunch was a lot of fun, and we really appreciated Praveen and Chetan's flexibility to make some small adjustments to the tour to suit our interests. Highly recommended!

Great trip to Mysore

Published on Mar, 2025

The trip was great and the guide Fez had a lot of interesting facts to provide. No unwanted gift shops or stores to go into. The sites we visited we worth going to and the pace of each stop was good, you had time to hear about the facts and take some pictures.

A Perfect Blend of History, Culture, and Craftsmanship

Published on Feb, 2025

This private tour in Bengaluru was an unforgettable experience! Our guide was a fantastic storyteller, sharing deep insights and historical details that truly brought each site to life. We explored magnificent old temples, learning about their intricate architecture, spiritual significance, and the fascinating stories behind them. The visit to the silk-making process—from silkworms to the final exquisite fabric—was equally mesmerizing, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at this intricate craft. Another highlight was our visit to the grand palaces around Mysuru. Walking through their opulent halls and learning about their royal history made the experience even more special. The blend of heritage, artistry, and expert storytelling made this tour one of the best I’ve taken. If you’re looking for a deep dive into Karnataka’s rich history and culture, this tour is a must! Highly recommended!

Top Tier Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Driver picked me up early and did a great job taking care until we got to Mysore. Met the guide and it was a great experience learning about the area. The guide was engaging as we went to the different areas and the driver did a fantastic job bringing me back to hotel. Been on many many tours, this will stand out as one of my top 3.
