• Dariya Daulat Palace - Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace - The journey takes us to the historic town of Sri Rangapatnam, once the capital of Tipu Sultan, known as the Tiger of Mysore, in the 18th century. The tour will explore his life, from the legendary day he fought and killed a tiger with a dagger, to his courageous battles against the British, his administrative and economic reforms, and his innovative use of rockets in warfare. Tipu Sultan is recognized as a pioneer in the use of rockets for warfare, a technology later adapted by the British during World War I.

We will visit Dariya Daulat Bagh, Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, constructed in the Indo-Saracenic style. The palace features stunning murals depicting Tipu’s battles with the British. The highlight is the renowned painting “Storming of Srirangapatna” by Sir Robert Ker Porter, illustrating the final fall of Srirangapatna on May 4, 1799, when the British defeated Tipu’s forces.

• Captain Bailey’s Dungeon - Colonel Bailey’s Dungeon is a notable site where Tipu imprisoned several British officers during the war. Fascinating stories about this infamous place will be shared during the tour!

• Mysuru Palace - The tour includes a visit to the magnificent Mysore Palace, where guests will spend a few hours admiring this architectural marvel built in the Indo-Saracenic style, blending Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic elements. The Palace is a three-story stone structure with marble domes and a 145 ft five-story tower. The guided tour will cover the Public Hall, Private Hall, Dolls Pavilion, and the Royal Wedding Hall.

• M D TOUSEEF VEGETABLES - The tour continues to Devraja Market, the charming old bazaar of Mysore. It is a sensory delight filled with flowers, vegetables, fruits, jaggery, onions, potatoes, puffed rice, and coconuts!

• St. Philomena’s Church - The tour includes a visit to St. Philomena’s Church. Originally built in 1840 and known as St. Joseph Chavez, it was renamed to its current name. Initially a small church, it was expanded to its present form in 1933 during the reign of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV. In 1843, Mysore King Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar constructed the church to serve the European residents of Mysore. Today, it stands as the second largest church in Asia.

• Chennakesava Temple, Somanathapura - Guests have the option to choose between visiting Srirangapatna (Dariya Daulat Bagh & Bailey Dungeon) or Somnathpura. They can update their preference during booking under remarks. Somnathpur is renowned for the magnificent Chennakesava Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in 1268 by Somanatha, a general of King Narasimha III, the temple features three shrines and three intricately carved peaks with a common Mandapa. Visitors will appreciate the 16 different ceilings, each depicting a stage of a blooming banana flower, and the central wall adorned with images of deities wearing jewelry, bangles, crowns, and anklets.
