Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

You will begin the tour with the opulent Mysore Palace. The Palace was the seat of the Wodeyar maharajas who ruled the kingdom from 1399 to 1950. The palace you see today was built in 1912 after a fire destroyed the first palace.

Your tour will continue to Srirangapatna, a rocky island formed by the Cauvery River. Srirangapatna came into prominence during the rise of Hyder Ali and his famed son Tipu Sultan, who converted Srirangapatna into a fortified city. It was the power centre of South India for a long time, before Tipu Sultan lost the last of the four battles against the British East India Company.

After your city visit, you move on to visit Brindavan Gardens. Famous for its symmetric design and illuminated terrace gardens, it was created by Sir Mirza Ismail, the then Diwan of Mysore state. He was the brain behind its modeling and conceptualization. Spread across an area of more than 60 acres, the gardens are laid out in three terraces, and ends in a horseshoe shape.
