Welcome to Mysore Magic

the best way to explore Karnataka’s royal city

Mysore and Surrounds: Mysore was the capital of the erstwhile Mysore Kingdom. The city is dotted with grand palaces, art galleries, universities and sculptures, in a quirky blend of British and Indian architectural styles.

Half an hour's drive from Mysore is the lovely little town of Srirangapatna. It’s a pilgrimage site with a beautiful medieval temple to Lord Vishnu. It was the fortified capital of Tipu Sultan, the famous “Tiger of Mysore”, whose dramatic battles against the British are the stuff of legends.

Watered by the sacred river Cauvery, the countryside around Mysore is lush and fertile. You can see some splendid Hoysala temples in the countryside, stop at the serene Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, or visit some peaceful villages.

We offer walks and day tours in Mysore, showcasing the city’s rich architecture and heritage. We also offer excursions to many interesting places around Mysore. Take a look at the menu on the right to see which tours you would like to take. If there is something outside this list that you wish to do, please let us know. We are happy to organize a customized tour.

Longer itineraries in Karnataka: Mysore does not have an airport. Most visitors arrive in Bangalore, from where we can arrange a multi-day itinerary covering the major tourist destinations in Karnataka. You can also visit Kerala and Tamil Nadu as part of a long driving itinerary. If you are planning a long trip through South India, please tell us your interests, and we will recommend a plan. Usually our packages include itinerary planning, hotels, ground transport, guided tours as well as safaris and other immersive experiences.
