The Mysore Palace is a historical palace and a well-known tourist spot. The architecture of the palace is a blend of Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic styles. You and your family can immerse yourselves in the cultural significance of India by wandering through the opulent halls and marvel at the vibrant colours and intricate designs of the palace.
Mullayanagiri is the highest peak in Karnataka, and the trek to the summit is an exhilarating challenge. The path leading to the peak flanks cascading waterfalls and deep gorges offering stunning views of the green valley below. The cool climate and peaceful atmosphere make the trek an even more enjoyable activity for families.
The Dubare Elephant Camp is home to many rescued elephants. Visitors can learn about these majestic animals, the challenges they face, and interact with them in a safe environment. You and your family can participate in activities like elephant bathing, feeding and an informative ride through the forest on an elephant's back.
The stunning Abbey Falls is a popular attraction and an excellent example of the lush natural beauty of Coorg. A short hike takes you to the waterfalls, which is a splendid sight to see up close, and a right spot for a refreshing dip in the pool of clear water. Along the way, you'll see fields of coffee and spice plantations.
If you have an additional day in Mysore, spend some time in Brindavan Gardens and Krishnaraja Sagar Dam. If you have more time in Coorg, you might want to enjoy water rafting or visit Namdroling Monastery in Kushalnagar, a place of worship and an institution of higher learning for spiritual and cultural studies.
If you have less time to spend, skip the Abbey Falls. However, if you have more days to add to your itinerary, visit Nandi Hills in Bangalore or trek to Kudremukh Mountain Range.
