The first destination is a silk cocoon market, where sericulturists bring millions of silk cocoons for sale. It’s a remarkable sight. With insights from the expert guide, you’ll discover the various stages of the renowned Mysore silk production — from cocoon to yarn, which is then woven into cloth before becoming a wearable garment.

• Chennakesava Temple, Somanathapura - The tour takes an extended detour through lush countryside to reach this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage temple from 1268 AD. It features some of the most exquisite stone carvings and sculptures. The expert guide will introduce its history, Hinduism, its pantheon of gods, and the context of each beautiful carving.
• Mysuru Palace - Explore this bejeweled palace, one of the most visited sites in India and once home to one of the wealthiest individuals in the world – the Maharaja of Mysore.

• Tipu Sultan Fort - Srirangapatna, a river island coveted for its strategic location, has the river as a natural barrier. The Srirangapatna Fort, established in the 1400s, served as the residence for the ruling class within its fortified precincts. This location gained global attention when the East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore clashed four times over four decades.

Driving through the fort and taking in the sights offers a fascinating glimpse into what it feels like to be inside one of the few ‘living’ forts in India.
