Itinerary

  • Mysore Palace

    We visit the grand Mysore Palace and spend the next hour in this wonder built in Indo-Saracenic style with a blend of Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic styles of architecture. The Palace is a three-storied stone structure, with marble domes and a 145 ft five-storied tower. The guided tour will take you through the Public Hall, Private Hall, Dolls Pavilion and the Royal Wedding Hall.

    1 hour

  • Dariya Daulat Palace - Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace

    We reach the historical town of Sri Rangapatnam which was the capital of Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore, in the 18th century. We will trace his life from the day he fought a tiger and killed it with a dagger, his brave battles with the British, his administrative and economic reforms and his pioneering usage of rockets in warfare. He is credited with being a pioneer in using rockets for warfare and the British later improvised on his technology during the World War I. We visit Dariya Daulat Bagh, the Summer Palace of Tipu Sultan. It is built in Indo-Sarcenic style and has a few magnificent murals depicting the war of Tipu with the British. The most famous exhibit here is the famous painting “Storming of Srirangapatna” by Sir Robert Ker Porter. The theme of the painting is the final fall of Srirangapatna on 4th May 1799 when the British defeat Tipu’s forces.

    1 hour

  • Captain Bailey's Dungeon

    Colonel Bailey Dungeon is the famous dungeon where Tipu imprisoned several British Officers during the war. Tales about this notorious place will be told during the tour!

    20 minutes

  • Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum

    We visit India’s first sand sculpture museum. Conceived and built by Gowri, a leading sand sculptor, the sand museum took 4 months and 115 loads construction sand to build. There are 16 themes with 150 sculptures on display.

    45 minutes

  • St. Philomena's Church

    We visit St Philomena church. Built in 1840, earlier it used to be called as the St. Joseph Chavez, which was later changed to its present name. Initially a small church, it gained its present form in 1933 during the reign of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. In 1843, Mysore King Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar built the church so as to cater to the needs of the European people who were residing in Mysore then. Today, it is the second largest church in Asia.

    45 minutes

  • N/A

    Next in our  tour to Mysore, we visit Devraja market, the charming old bazaar of Mysore. Its a sensorial delight made up of flowers, vegetables, fruits, jaggery, onions and potatoes, puffed rice and coconuts!

Amazing way to see the highlights of Mysuru - highly recommend!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful day with Shiva seeing the best sights of Mysore! The Tipu Sultan Summer Palace is really worth the visit - it is exquisite inside and so well preserved. Mysore Palace did not disappoint - it is truly stunning. Our South Indian lunch was delicious! And a great tour around the market which is so amazing to wonder around - the sights, the smells, the colors - all so incredible to take in. You will see so much on this tour! Shiva is super knowledgeable about all things Mysuru and we felt like we were getting the expert’s guide tour! A really great day that we both really enjoyed.

Amazing day with Manjunath!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our driver Manjunath was super friendly and gave us a great tour. He was awesome on the camera and took some great shots! Would highly recommend, our itinerary was packed and super varied.

Wonderful Day with Great Tour Guide Shiva

Published on Jan, 2025

We saw the Somnathpur temple, Mysore palace, Devraj market, and Philomena church. Our tour guide Shiva was very knowledgeable and explained stories from the Ramayana, Gita, and Mahabharata with us while at the temple and of the history of the Mysore palace. We also had a great lunch while on the tour where we ate traditional South Indian food off a banana leaf. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Mysore.
