Mysore Palace
The Mysore Palace is the most extravagant and luxurious palace in South India. It is called the "Palace of Versailles" of India. It was built in 1912 in Indo-Saracenic style with the Chief Architect being Henry Irwin, an Englishman. The grandeur of Mysore Palace is such that it is embellished with - tiles from England, marble from Italy, Chandeliers from Czechoslovakia, cast iron pillars & stained glasses from Scotland, teak wood from Burma, jaguar bronze statues from England, etc. The Mysore palace stands in the middle of a sprawling 45 acres of land which houses many temples as well. It is divided into two halves - one (better) half managed by the State Govt while the other belongs to the royal Wodeyar family. The fame of Mysore Palace is such that it attracts as many visitors annually as that of Taj Mahal!

Bandipur Tiger Safari
The afternoon safari to Bandipur forest will be organized by the hotel where you stay, in conjunction with the local Govt. Please ensure that the safari is booked even before arriving at the hotel.
Bandipur National Park is a reserved wildlife sanctuary with an area of 874 sq, km while Nagarahole is another adjoining reserve with an area of 848 sq. km. They are both part of a greater Niligiri Bio-sphere which straddles three South-Indian States over 5500 sq. km. An afternoon safari in the Bandipur/Nagarahole forest ranges offers an extraordinary opportunity to watch wildlife in their natural habitat; be it predators, reptiles, cats, elephants, birds, etc. In the backdrop of the calm and quiet of the jungle, as you wade through a thick jungle with experienced drivers and naturalists, the wilderness unfolds. It has to be your lucky day to see tigers but there will definitely be other wildlife such as deer and elephants which are quite common. Be ready to shoot, but with your camera!
