Four regal days in Mysuru — the illuminated Amba Vilas palace, Chamundi Hill's temple drive, the silk weavers' co-operative and a scenic day trip to Srirangapatna and the KRS Gardens.
Drive 3 hours from Bangalore (or short flight into Mysuru). Check into a heritage or luxury hotel near the palace. Afternoon: Amba Vilas Palace — the Indo-Saracenic masterpiece of the Wodeyars. Walk through the Durbar Hall, the stained-glass Kalyana Mantapa, and the royal armoury. Sunday evenings the whole palace is lit by 97,000 bulbs.
Morning drive up Chamundi Hill — Chamundeshwari Temple, the monolithic Nandi bull carved in 1659. Return via the 1,000-step stairway if you're fit. Lunch at a royal heritage restaurant. Afternoon: Mysore Silk Weaving Factory (government-run co-op), then Sandalwood Oil Factory, then browse Cauvery Emporium for brass and rosewood.
Drive 18 km to Srirangapatna — Tipu Sultan's island-fortress capital. See Srirangapatnaswamy Temple, Tipu's Summer Palace (Daria Daulat Bagh), and Gumbaz. Lunch at a riverside restaurant. Afternoon at KRS (Krishna Raja Sagara) Dam and Brindavan Gardens — musical fountain show at sundown.
Morning stroll in Devaraja Market — flower stacks, turmeric pyramids, kumkum powders, fresh fruit. Check out and transfer to Bangalore airport (or onward to Coorg, Wayanad, or Bandipur for a tiger reserve extension).
October to March. Dasara festival (usually October) is spectacular but pre-book months ahead.
