We make our way up from Coimbatore to the hills of the Nilgiris and to a Homestay nestled in plantations and rolling hills. We take a walk in the evening in a Sub-tropical Rain Forest.

We drive to the historic city of Mysore where we use a historic Palace Hotel as a base in this city. On arrival, we visit a Sanctuary, a nesting site to sixteen species of migratory birds and home to the Indian Marsh Crocodile.
We spend the afternoon experiencing this city’s famous Silk and the production of the South Indian Silk Saree.

Mysore would be incomplete without a visit to the opulent Amba Vilas Palace that showcases the life, rule and the power of the Wodeyar Kings. We complete the day visiting the very colourful and vibrant Farmers Market of Mysore.

We proceed north to the town of Hassan, which we use to visit the ancient Capitals of the Hoysala Kings.
We spend the rest of the day at the 12th century temple site of Belur where we soak in the history and breathtakingly unique architecture.

We spend the morning at the 13th century Halebid temple complex from where post-lunch we drive to the Garden city of Bangalore.
