If time permits, visit Lalbagh Botanical Garden and Cubbon Park, or explore the trendy cafes and colonial architecture around MG Road. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay in Bangalore.

After breakfast, drive to the royal city of Mysore, a place where tradition still lingers in the fragrance of sandalwood and silk. En route, stop at Srirangapatna, the historic island fortress of Tipu Sultan. Explore his summer palace and the tomb that preserves echoes of a lost empire.

Today’s journey takes you through Karnataka’s architectural wonders. Begin with Shravanabelagola, home to the towering 57-foot statue of Bahubali — one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Jains. The view from the hilltop offers sweeping vistas of the countryside.

Continue to Belur and Halebidu, the twin temple towns of the Hoysala dynasty, renowned for their star-shaped shrines and detailed stone carvings depicting mythological tales. After exploring these masterpieces, drive to Hassan and check into your hotel. Overnight stay in Hassan.

After breakfast, drive towards the lush hills of Coorg (Kodagu), often called the “Scotland of India.” The route unfolds into rolling coffee plantations, dense forests, and winding valleys scented with cardamom and eucalyptus.

On arrival, check into your hill resort and spend your afternoon at leisure. Visit a nearby coffee estate to learn about the bean-to-brew journey, or simply relax with a cup overlooking the misty slopes. Evening free for a bonfire dinner. Overnight in Coorg.

After breakfast, set out to explore the best of Coorg. Visit the Abbey Falls, where water cascades through coffee plantations into a deep pool below. Later, proceed to Dubare Elephant Camp, where you can observe these gentle giants during their feeding and bathing sessions.

In the afternoon, visit Madikeri Fort and Raja’s Seat, a picturesque garden offering one of the most spectacular sunset views in South India. End your day sampling Coorg’s spicy local cuisine — rich in coconut and pepper. Overnight stay in Coorg.

Drive to Nagarhole National Park, one of India’s finest wildlife reserves and part of the Nilgiri Biosphere. Check into your jungle lodge located near the Kabini River, surrounded by lush forest.

In the afternoon, embark on a jeep safari or boat ride, spotting elephants, bison, deer, and — with a bit of luck — tigers or leopards. The park’s serenity, filled with bird calls and rustling leaves, leaves an indelible mark. Overnight in Nagarhole.

After breakfast, enjoy a short morning safari in Nagarhole to capture the park’s golden light and morning mist. Return to the lodge for check-out, then drive back to Bangalore.

Your chauffeur will drop you at the airport for your onward flight. As your Karnataka with Nature Tour concludes, you’ll leave with a sense of calm — the fragrance of coffee, the roar of the jungle, and the timeless grace of the Deccan Plateau lingering in memory.
