What to expect

This three-day tour switches between one of India's most historic cityscapes to her wildest natural surroundings. You'll explore a wealth of UNESCO-listed treasures, pristine palaces and magnificent monuments in the ancient kingdom of Mysore and visit Bandipur National Park – the country's premier Bengal tiger and elephant sanctuary.

Get an early start to fly from Goa to Bangalore, the ‘Garden City' of India. En route to Mysore you'll stop at Srirangapatna, an island town in the middle of the Kaveri River, where an impressive 9th-century temple takes centre-stage. From there it's a short drive to the hotel in Mysore, the ancient capital of the Wodiyar dynasty, and home for the next two nights. After lunch we kick off the afternoon's sightseeing with a trip to Chamundi Hill Temple. Then it's on to the city's star turn, the Mysore Palace. Spend time here admiring its colourful domes and archways, and wandering through intricately carved doorways into lavishly decorated rooms, once the residence of the mighty maharajas. Round off day one with a stop at the colourful Devaraja flower and fruit market and an evening visit to Brindavan Gardens.

On day two, we swap history for nature in Bandipur National Park. This is one of India's premier wildlife sanctuaries and the largest protected area in southern India. After a scenic drive to the park, you'll take a thrilling safari ride to spot impressive Indian elephants, beautiful Bengal tigers and more. After a wild day out, you'll head back to Mysore to hit the hay. On your last day, the highlight is a trip to Somanathapura and the ancient Keshava Temple, dating back to 1268. As you head northbound towards the airport there's a chance to visit Cubbon Park and Vidhan Soudha if time allows, before jetting back to Goa in the evening.
