On arrival our Tripdoers travel executive will greet you at the Airport Lounge or Railway station. Then Proceed to Mysore. Palace city of India, Mysore occupies a special place in India’s tourist map. The very thought of this second largest city of Karnataka spells majestic city. Located adjoining Krishna raja Sagar dam, the famed Brindavan Garden has a confirmed place when touring Karnataka. Chamundi Hills are among the most sacred in South India and offer a panoramic view of Mysore. Mysore Palace was the official residence of the former rulers of Mysore and is one of the main tourist attractions. Splendour, pomp and grandeur mark its construction. It has the rare distinction of catering to the second largest number of annual visitors after the Taj Mahal.

After breakfast proceed to Bandipur. The very thought of Bandipur smells wild life, its beauty, safaris, flora and fauna, adventure sports and what not. One of the most popular tourist destinations in India, the Bandipur wild life sanctuary and the national park attract tourists from far and near. A highly wooded hill located on the Bandipur national Park, Gopalswamy Betta is a much sought after tourist destination in Karnataka. Covered with dense fog almost throughout the year, it is the highest peak in the National Park. It also houses the Gopalswamy temple. Located at the border covering Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Mudumalai National Park is a tiger reserve and is known to be the home of many endangered species of animals, spread over 321 sq.km.

After Breakfast proceed to Coorg. Coorg is India’ coffee bowl. Picturesquely located in Karnataka, this small district is a major tourist attraction. Connected by neither trains nor planes, driving down from Mysore is the only option to reach this lovely piece of land. Unique is the location and unique and hospitable are its people. The coorgi wedding is something one has to experience. For those who love to be in the lap of nature, Coorg it should be. Bhagamandala is located at Coorg and is supposed to be a centre of pilgrimage. It is on the river Kaveri and is joined by its two tributaries at this location. Visitors usually take a dip in the river at this place and perform rituals for their ancestors.

After Breakfast Proceed to Coorg Sightseeing. Situated at Coorg between coffee plantations and spice gardens, Abbi Falls is another major tourist spot in Karnataka. A hanging bridge from where visitors gape at the falls, adds excitement to the location. Far from the madding crowd is another tourist attraction in the form of Bylakuppe Golden temple, a home for Tibetan Buddhist monks. A serene atmosphere, large statues of Buddha, colorful paintings and decors on the wall and a decorated altar make it different. If you get thrilled at Elephants splashing loads of water and taking bath, Dubare Elephant Camp is the place to be in. It is adventure, fun and pleasure all packed into one.

After Breakfast Proceed for Railway station/Airport .
