The journey

This eight-night journey traverses the heritage, wildlife, and elevated hill stations of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Starting in Bangalore, you visit Windsor Castle-inspired architecture before driving to Mysore to explore royal palaces, zoological gardens, vantage points, and a riverside bird sanctuary. A scenic drive brings you to the dense forests of Bandipur National Park for an early morning wildlife safari tracking elephants, deer, and big cats.

From the jungle plains, climb into the Nilgiri hills to explore Ooty's highest summit, waterfalls, and extensive rose gardens. The road journey continues to Kodaikanal in the Palani hills, where pine forests, cliff-edge walks, and rock formations round out the circuit. Your tour concludes with a downhill transfer to Coimbatore for onward travel.
