Day 1-2: Bangalore – The Garden City

Welcome to Bangalore, the start of our amazing journey! After settling into your hotel, we’ll kick things off with a city tour. You’ll love the Windsor Palace – it’s like stepping back in time! And don’t even get me started on Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace; it’s simply gorgeous. We’ll drive past Cubbon Park and Vidhan Soudha too, giving you a taste of Bangalore’s green spaces and impressive architecture. 

Fun fact: Bangalore is known as the “Garden City of India” because of its beautiful parks and green spaces. 

Day 3: Mysore – The City of Palaces

Srirangapatna and Krishnaraj Sagara Gardens 
Today, we’re off to Mysore! On the way, we’ll stop at Srirangapatna, which has some really cool historical sites. Once we reach Mysore, get ready for a treat – the Krishnaraj Sagara Gardens are absolutely stunning, especially in the evening. Trust me, it’s the perfect way to end your day! 

Day 4: Mysore to Hassan

Mysore Palace and Shravanabelagola 
Morning folks! We’re starting the day with a tour of the famous Mysore Palace. It’s seriously impressive – the architecture will blow you away! Then, we’re heading to Hassan, but not before stopping at Shravanabelagola. If you’re into Jain temples, you’re in for a real treat here. 

Day 5-6: Hampi – A Step Back in Time

Belur, Halebid, and Hampi Exploration 
Get ready for some serious history! We’ll visit Belur and Halebid on our way to Hampi. These twin cities have some amazing temples with incredibly detailed carvings. Once in Hampi, we’ll spend a full day exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site. The ruins of the Vijayanagara empire are just mind-blowing, and the walk along the Tungabhadra River is so peaceful.

Did you know? Hampi was once one of the richest and largest cities in the world during the 16th century! 

Day 7-9: Badami – The Cradle of Indian Architecture

Cave Temples and Ancient Complexes 
For the next few days, we’ll be based in Badami, exploring some of the most important historical sites in India. The rock-cut temples here are just incredible. We’ll also visit Aihole and Pattadakal, where you’ll see a fantastic blend of different architectural styles. It’s like a crash course in Indian temple architecture! 

Day 10-12: Goa – Sun, Sand, and Spices

Beach Relaxation and Cultural Exploration 
Time to hit the beach! But Goa isn’t just about relaxing on the sand (although that’s pretty great too). We’ll take a tour of the area, including a visit to a spice plantation. It’s fascinating to see how all these spices are grown and used in cooking and traditional medicine.

Goa tip: Don’t miss trying some delicious Goan fish curry while you’re here! 

Day 13-14: Mumbai – The City of Dreams

Mumbai Tour and Departure 
Our last stop is the bustling city of Mumbai. We’ll take a quick tour to see some of the highlights before it’s time to say goodbye. As you head to the airport, I bet you’ll be thinking about all the amazing memories you’ve made on this trip!
