7 days through Bangalore, Mysore, Srirangapatna, Hassan, Belur, Halebidu & Shravanabelagola — discovering Southern India's grand stone architecture and royal legacies.
This curated 7-day private tour takes you deep into the heart of Karnataka's architectural and cultural history. Start in **Bangalore**, the dynamic 'Garden City,' exploring Tudor-style royal palaces and historic gardens. Travel to **Mysore**, Southern India's cultural capital, renowned for its spectacular Indo-Saracenic royal palace and sacred Chamundi Hills. En route to Hassan, stop at the island fortress of **Srirangapatna**, the historic capital of Tipu Sultan.
The tour's highlight lies in **Hassan**, the gateway to **Belur** and **Halebidu**. Here, discover the 12th-century Hoysala soapstone temples, whose intricate, lace-like stone carvings depict legends of Hindu mythology in breathtaking detail. Before returning to Bangalore, visit the sacred hill of **Shravanabelagola** to marvel at the 57-foot monolithic statue of Lord Bahubali, carved from a single block of granite in 981 AD. You'll travel in a private AC vehicle with a dedicated driver, staying in boutique hotels and heritage properties.
