Grand South India Journey: 7-Day Bangalore, Mysore, Coorg & Ooty Trip
Why choose Best Bangalore Mysore Coorg Ooty Tour Package from Bangalore with our Shimla-based experts?
Local Insider Insight
Instead of Abbey Falls, which gets crowded in Coorg, ask your driver to take you to Mandalpatti Peak. The road up requires a 4x4 jeep transfer (arranged locally), but the reward is a 360-degree view of the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary and the Western Ghats. The peak is rarely crowded.
Ready for a beautiful trip through South India? Our 7-day tour is the perfect way to see the royal history and the lush green hills of the south. This journey takes you from the energetic city of Bangalore to the stunning Mysore Palace and the misty coffee gardens of Coorg. You'll also experience the cool mountain air of Ooty and ride the world-famous UNESCO toy train. We've planned everything to be relaxed and comfortable, with private AC rides and handpicked stays. From the thousands of lights at Mysore Palace to the 36 hairpin bends of the Sigur Ghat, every moment of this trip is made to show you the real heart of the 'Blue Mountains'. It's an ideal holiday for families and couples who want to see the best of South India.
"We believe that travel in these mountains should never be rushed. Having spent years guiding travelers along these exact roads, my advice is to take the early morning walks when the air is absolutely crisp and local life is just starting. Avoid the generic tourist traps and ask our drivers to stop at the small roadside dhabas for fresh cedar-smoke chai. We don't just plan itineraries—we connect you with the real, unhurried soul of our home."
