Morning / Afternoon: Arrive in Mysore & Royal Heritage
Arrive in Mysore. Check in to your hotel, freshen up, and head straight out to explore the city.
Mysore Palace
Step into the magnificent official residence of the Wadiyar dynasty, celebrated for its Indo-Saracenic architecture, sprawling Durbar halls and intricate carved wooden doors.
Chamundi Hills
Drive up to the Chamundeshwari Temple for a panoramic, bird's-eye view of the entire city skyline and a look at the monolithic Nandi statue.

Overnight Stay: Mysore.
Morning: Scenic Drive Toward Wayanad
After breakfast, check out and begin your scenic drive toward Wayanad (approx. 3 hours).
Bandipur National Park Route
Pass through the lush forest reserves of Bandipur (and Mudumalai border corridors), where keeping an eye out through the vehicle windows often yields sightings of spotted deer, elephants or colorful native birds.
Afternoon: Lakkidi Viewpoint
Enter Kerala through Wayanad's lush mountainous terrain. Stop at Lakkidi Viewpoint (the gateway to Wayanad) to take in the dramatic, mist-wrapped valley and hairpin curves of the Thamarassery Ghat pass.

Overnight Stay: Wayanad (hotel / resort nestled amidst coffee and spice plantations).
Morning: Banasura Sagar Dam
Head out to Banasura Sagar Dam – the largest earthen dam in India and the second largest in Asia. Enjoy activities like speed boating, zorbing, or walking along the scenic reservoir banks dotted with small emerald islands.
Afternoon: Edakkal Caves
Visit the historic Edakkal Caves (located near Sulthan Bathery). A short trek takes you up to natural rock caverns housing prehistoric Stone Age carvings and petroglyphs dating back thousands of years.
Late Afternoon: Soochipara Waterfalls
Experience the gorgeous multi-tiered Soochipara Waterfalls (Sentinel Rock Falls) surrounded by dense deciduous forests, ideal for relaxing and capturing stunning group photographs.
