Unlike other tours, this one ensures visits to every location listed, guaranteeing a complete experience.

The first stop is a silk cocoon market, where sericulturists bring millions of silk cocoons for sale. It’s a remarkable sight. With insights from an expert guide, participants will learn about the various stages of the renowned Mysore silk production — from the cocoon to the yarn, which is then woven into cloth before becoming a wearable garment.

• Maddur Tiffany’s - Food is considered an essential part of the Indian cultural experience; therefore, the tour starts early with a detour from the highway to visit a traditional eatery serving authentic local breakfast. Here, the accompanying guide will lead participants through a delightful culinary experience.
• Somnathpur Temple - The tour takes an extended detour through lush countryside to reach this stunning UNESCO World Heritage temple from 1268 AD. It features some of humanity’s most exquisite stone carvings and sculptures. The expert guide will introduce its history, Hinduism, its pantheon of gods, and the context of each beautiful carving.
• Mysuru Palace - This tour explores the bejeweled palace, one of the most visited sites in India and once home to one of the wealthiest individuals in the world – the Maharaja of Mysore. The expert guide will share insights about the Wodeyar rulers and their incredible contributions to putting this region on the global map as participants leisurely explore the interiors and exteriors of this dazzling palace.
• Devaraja Market - The expert guide will lead a stroll inside an 1880s market that seems frozen in time. As participants walk back in time, they can marvel at the sights, smells, and sounds of the shops and people in the bazaar selling the finest fruits, flowers, vegetables, bangles, and local produce such as Jaggery, Attar, Masalas, etc.
• Hotel Mayura Riverview - From Mysore, the tour drives to the historic river island of Srirangapatana. Here, there is a break for a relaxed and sumptuous lunch at this picturesque setting by the gurgling waters of the River Cauvery.
• Srirangapatna Fort - Srirangapatna is a river island that has been coveted for millennia due to its strategic location, with the river acting as a natural barrier. The Srirangapatna Fort was established in the 1400s and served as the residence for the ruling class within its fortified precincts. This location gained global attention when the East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore clashed four times over four decades.

Driving through the fort and taking in the sights offers a fascinating glimpse into what it feels like to be inside one of the few ‘living’ forts in India.
