A Journey Through The Southern Quadrilateral

Tea, Toy Train, Coffee, Culture And Cascades (Bangalore, Mysore, Ooty And Coorg)

South India holds a lot of charm for tourists and one of the most popular tourist circuits covers destinations like Bangalore, Mysore, Ooty and Coorg. The advantage of patronizing this circuit is the distance between any 2 stations is under 200 Kms and can be planned in a leisurely manner covering all or if not most of the tourist attractions in the catchment area. Bangalore Ooty Coorg and Mysore Tour Package are the best option for you to enjoy these destinations.

A majority of visitors start this circuit from Bangalore, whereas starting this tour from any of the other 3 cities is also possible. Whilst, Bangalore and Mysore are air linked, Ooty and Coorg can be started from Coimbatore and Mangalore respectively, if arriving by air. However, the entire circuit is well connected by good roads.

For starters, arriving into Bangalore, the garden city, welcomes a guest to the history of the city founded by Kempe Gowda in the 16th century.  The numerous parks notably Lal Bagh and Cubbon Park, adds a green aura to the city’s landscape.

The two museums on Kasturba Road, the Government museum and the Vishweshwariya Museums lends a visitor with first hand historical and technical knowledge and is a must in the itinerary.

Other places of interest are the Planetarium and of course, the famous Bull Temple and Tipu’s palace being the other places of interest.  In Fact, Bangalore has a unique blend of modernity with heritage.

The next destination should undoubtedly be Mysore. The new expressway is a breeze and before a lightning storm in Mysore, it is recommended to visit Srirangapatna- the historical site during Tipu Sultan’s times and the center of the Anglo Mysore war. 

The late evening could be spent at the Brindavan gardens, for seeing the perfect manicured gardens followed by the musical fountain or alternatively Mysore Palace Sound and Light show.

Moving into the city for Mysore for a one day tour is a truly rewarding experience. Mysore is perhaps the second most visited in India by both foreign and domestic tourists, as the city boasts of both historical and cultural engagements.

The Mysore palace is an epitome of Indo Saracenic architecture dazzles with its intricate interiors and grand Durbar Hall, symbolizing the grandeur of the Wodeyar dynasty that reigned for over five centuries.

The local Goddess Chamundeshwari temple perched on top of a hill offers both, a spiritual solace apart from a bird’s eye view of Mysore city.   Another noteworthy iconic structure is the St. Philomena’s church with the grandeur of Gothic.

The church construction was inspired by the Cologne cathedral of Germany.  The city is also famous for the various art galleries it has on display. You will know more about your tour by reading at Experience South India - Bangalore, Mysore & Ooty Tour.
