Start your second day with a visit to the Shivappa Nayaka Palace, which is a fine example of 16th-century Hindu architecture. Spend the morning exploring the palace, which features beautiful murals and intricate carvings. Afterward, visit the nearby Gajanur Dam, which is a popular picnic spot and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and forests. In the afternoon, head to the nearby Mandagadde Bird Sanctuary, which is home to several species of migratory birds. In the evening, enjoy a luxurious dinner at the nearby Royal Orchid Central.
If you have time, consider visiting the nearby Kodachadri Hills, which offer scenic trekking trails and stunning panoramic views.
