Enjoy a leisurely walk through its lush parks, visit local markets, and sample delicious cuisine at nearby restaurants. Overnight stay at the hotel in Bangalore.

After breakfast, embark on a full day of sightseeing in Bangalore, known as the Garden City of India. Begin with a visit to Lalbagh Botanical Garden, a sprawling 240-acre park famous for its rare plant species, historic glasshouse, and serene lake. Continue to Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, a beautiful example of Indo-Islamic architecture that once served as the summer residence of Tipu Sultan. Later, visit Cubbon Park, a green oasis in the heart of the city, and admire the grand Vidhana Soudha from the outside, an iconic legislative building known for its impressive architecture. Proceed to Bangalore Palace, a royal residence inspired by England’s Windsor Castle, followed by a visit to the ISKCON Temple at Hare Krishna Hill, renowned for its spiritual ambiance. In the evening, visit the Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple, a unique rock-cut temple famous for its stone discs and the natural sunlight phenomenon seen on specific days of the year. Return to the hotel for an overnight stay.

After breakfast at the hotel, leave for Mysore. En route, stop at Shri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangapatna, an important pilgrimage site admired for its historical significance and grand Dravidian-style architecture. Later, continue your drive to Mysore. Upon arrival check-in at the hotel for overnight stay.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, visit Mysuru Palace, the former royal residence of the Wodeyar dynasty, admired for its grand architecture and historic Durbar Hall.

After breakfast in Mysore, drive to Bandipur National Park, one of South India’s most famous wildlife reserves, known for its rich forests and diverse wildlife. On arrival, check in at your resort and relax. Later in the afternoon, set out on a shared jeep or canter safari inside Bandipur National Park, where you may spot elephants, deer, wild boar, and, with some luck, tigers and leopards. After the safari, return to the resort for dinner and an overnight stay in Bandipur.

Start your day early with a morning safari in Bandipur National Park, the best time to spot wildlife as animals are most active. Return to the resort for breakfast and some leisure time.
