Itinerary

  • Tipu Sultan Fort and Palace - Bangalore KR Market

    A two-story teakwood palace completed in 1791 by the sultan as a summer retreat. Adorned with pillars, arches and balconies, it resembles the Daria Daulat Palace in Srirangapatanam. In the palace museum, marvel at the clothing and crown of Tipu Sultan as well as silver vessels given by a general to Hyder Ali. Your guide will accompany you to Bangalore Palace, built by a Wodeyar king in the Tudor style. Ogle Gothic windows, foiled windows, battlements and turrets. Walk through picturesque gardens leading to the main entrance, and view exquisite floral motifs, cornices and relief paintings that decorate the elegant palace walls and ceilings. Then, head to the Bangalore Palace gallery to see historical photos and elegant carvings.

    1 hour

  • Bangalore Palace

    Bangalore Fort, located opposite the city market in Bangalore. Initially constructed by Kempe Gowda – Bangalore’s founder – in 1537, the fort was rebuilt and expanded by Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, the emperor of Mysore, in the 18th century. As you privately tour Bangalore Fort with your guide, hear anecdotes about its historical role in the sultan’s resistance to British rule. Admire the Islamic style of the gate's intricately carved arches, and glimpse the well-preserved 16th-century Ganapathi Temple within its courtyard, where Hindu devotees pay homage to Lord

    1 hour

  • Bangalore Fort

    Learn about the historical significance of this 18th-century defense. Originally built in 1537 as a mud fort by the founder of Bangalore. Later it was replaced with a stone fort, but damaged during an Anglo-Mysore war in 1791. Nevertheless, Bangalore Fort still remains a good example of 18th-century military fortification.

The royal history of Bangalore

Published on Oct, 2019

Had a wonderful tour with our driver Ranjith and mr. Srinivas as the experienced tour guide. They drove us to sultan Tipu’s summer residence, the Bangalore Fort and of course Bangalore palace. Stopping at or pointing out places of interest along the way. Mr. Srinivas is knowledgable and has a wonderful way of sharing his love for the city he grew up in. He spoke good English too. So definitely recommend this tour.

One of the best place in Bangalore.

Published on Apr, 2018

Nice place to visit and Govt should make it more useful not just promoting it as one among tourism spots. Millet mela was very nice and useful. Indian technologists should come forward to invent and exhibit useful products to our farmers. Great place to visit Palace during that time. Good if they promote NATURAL FARMING in the same MELA. Facade to be clean with even surface. Entry has to be started by 9am (now its 10am)

Awesome Beauty

Published on Jan, 2018

Best place to visit while in Bengaluru for a half day tour. The Palace have been built within the city and its close proximity to the major landmarks makes it a must visit destination. The Palace is not huge as compared to those of the Jaipur, but the 45 minute audio guide will keep you engage and let you explore about the history of the Palace and royal families of Wadiyar. The beautifully managed plant cover on the exterior of the palace in itself speak about how the management is taking extra care to maintain this marvelous structure.

Thoroughly enjoyed my private tour...

Published on Mar, 2017

Thoroughly enjoyed my private tour of Bengaluru with Sharma my guide. She took me to many wonderful sites around Bengalore that included: Shree Dodda Ganapathi Temple, Sri Big Bull Temple, Tippu Sultan's Palace, Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, Vidhanna Soudha Karnataka State Capitol building and Bengaluru Palace. She was very knowledgeable and told great stories about each place and their history. Would highly recommend this tour especially if you can get Sharma as your tour guide! Thanks, Sharma!

Fantastic guide in a beautiful city...
