- Shri Ranganathaswami Temple (Pancharanga Kshetra) - We will pick you up in Bangalore at your hotel, the train stop, or the airport. Right after that, we’ll start our trip to enjoy the classic old-school beauty of Mysore City. It will take around 3 hours to reach to Mysore. Arrive and visit the city.
Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple: Our knowledgeable guide will greet you as we start our tour of Mysore. The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, which is inside the Srirangapatna Fort, is our first stop. This temple is one of the biggest in Karnataka and is dedicated to Lord Ranganatha, who is a form of Lord Vishnu. It has beautiful Dravidian architecture.
- Mysore Palace - Next, we’ll go to the famous Mysore Palace, which is a great example of Indo-Saracenic building. Be amazed by the finely carved arches, domes, and ornate interiors that are filled with beautiful artworks, chandeliers, and furniture. This 107-year-old historical landmark was built during the Wodeyar Dynasty. Its large collection of items gives us a glimpse into the luxurious life of the Royal family.
- Chamundi Hills - We leave the house and go to Chamundi Hill, which is just outside the city. Check out the Chamundeshwari Temple, which was built in the 17th century during the Vijayanagar Empire. This temple is very important to the religion because it is dedicated to goddess Chamundeshwari, who is a fierce form of Durga. From the top of the temple, you can see a lot of Mysore.
- Devaraja Market - Be a part of the lively atmosphere of Mysore’s longest and busiest market, Devaraja Market. You can walk through the busy streets that are full of colorful stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables, spices, flowers, handicrafts, sandalwood products, oils, incense, and Mysore silk sarees. You can talk to local sellers, enjoy the busy atmosphere, and try real Mysorean treats.
- Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) Dam - The Krishnaraja Sagar Dam (KRS) is our last stop. It was built across the Cauvery River and is named after Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. This dam was built in 1934 by Sir M. Visvesvaraya, who was also the chief engineer. It is an important source of water for drinking in Mysore, Mandya, and Bengaluru, as well as for agriculture. The mesmerizing musical and dance waterfall is a must-see for tourists.
