Keshava-templet i Somanthapur er for nylig blevet klassificeret som et verdensarvsmonument af UNESCO. Det er et ekstraordinært tempel bygget i det 13. e.Kr. under Hoysala-dynastiets regeringstid. Det er et af de 3 bedste templer blandt de 92 bygget af Hoysalas under deres regeringstid. Templet er bygget på en stjerneformet platform med skulpturer af høj kvalitet rundt omkring. De mest fremtrædende træk ved dette tempel er de meget symmetriske og geometriske drejebænke-drejede søjler; 16 lofter inde i templet med hver en anden, men med et motiv af bananblomst; udsøgte statuer af Venugopala & Janardhana i 2 af de 3 sanctum sanctora; de meget indviklede vimaner; 480 elefanter udskåret på det nederste niveau med hver en forskellig fra den anden; en galakse af guder og gudinder; osv. Det tog 500 kunstnere omkring 40 år at bygge dette tempel, som senere blev vandaliseret af de plyngende moguler i det 14. e.Kr. Det står forladt fra et rituelt perspektiv, men står højt som en kunstnerisk præstation.
Mysore Palace er det mest ekstravagante og luksuriøse palads i Sydindien. Det kaldes "Versailles-paladset" i Indien. Det blev bygget i 1912 i indo-saracenisk stil med chefarkitekten Henry Irwin, en englænder. Storheden af Mysore Palace er sådan, at det er udsmykket med - fliser fra England, marmor fra Italien, Lysekroner fra Tjekkoslovakiet, støbejernssøjler & farvede glas fra Skotland, teaktræ fra Burma, jaguar bronze statuer fra England osv. Mysore paladset står midt på et vidtstrakt 45 hektar land, som også huser mange templer. Det er opdelt i to halvdele - den ene (bedre) halvdel administreres af statens regering, mens den anden tilhører den kongelige Wodeyar-familie. Mysore Palaces berømmelse er sådan, at det tiltrækker flere besøgende årligt end Taj Mahal!
Srirangapatna er en historisk by, der var den tidligere hovedstad i Wodeyar-dynastiet og senere Hyder Ali og Tipu Sultan. Srirangapatna er faktisk en ø dannet af to arme af floden Kaveri, som betragtes som Sydens Ganges. Det er en by omgivet af en dobbeltvægget fæstning, som først blev bygget i det 16. e.Kr. og senere befæstet i det 18. e.K. Dette fort er omgivet af vand på 3 sider og en voldgrav gravet rundt på den ene side. Srirangapatna har en række attraktioner både for indiske såvel som internationale besøgende såsom - selve fortet; Sriranganatha tempel; Oberst Baileys fangehul; ruinerne af Tipu-paladset inde i fortet; det imponerende sommerpalads 'Daria Daulat Bagh' uden for fortet; mausoleum af Tipu 'Gumbaz'; flodghats til badning og ritualer; stedet, hvor Tipus døde lig blev fundet; Jami Masjid og dens minareter; osv. En køretur rundt i fortområdet og et besøg på Tipu Palace foreslås.
Daria Daulat bagh, der bogstaveligt talt betyder "Velhavende Have", er et charmerende palads bygget i slutningen af det 18. e.Kr. Paladset og haven blev skabt af Tipu Sultan for at huse hans harem uden for Fort-området. Dette palads har meget mere at byde på, end dets dystre facade antyder - de største kampscene-vægmalerier i landet; levende blomstermotiver tegnet med vegetabilske farver; 200 år gammelt bloktrykt silke pryder lofterne; blyantskitser af Tipu Sultans sidste øjeblikke, før han dør på slagmarken; medaljon præget af briterne for at ære sine soldater; et maleri, der fanger Srirangapatnas fald; smukke malerier af Forts holdt af Tipu; udsmykkede udskæringer i teaktræ hele vejen rundt; tidstypiske møbler fra 1700-tallet; sværd og andre våben fra Tipus våbenlager; et 3-D maleri af Tipu af John Zoffany, hvis øjne og sko følger dig 180 grader; kanoner & kanonkugler i nærheden af paladset; smukke mangotræer, araucarias, mahognier osv. i haven; duehuller ved indgangen; og så videre!

I had a wonderful trip with a fantastic driver and local guide, they went out of their way to make the day enjoyable and informative. I'm so grateful they could accommodate me on just a day's notice
This whole day trip to Mysore Palace was truly memorable. The time with our guides Vanaja and Raghu was very enjoyable and filled with pleasant conversations. Along the way we have visited some sights and learned the meaning and the most important information. Alltogether a great day with great guides. If you are searching for guided but also personal activities around Bangalore I highly recommend Bangalore & Beyond. Thank you for the experience!
I hate writing a bad review, but we were truly disappointed with our experience. Our driver and guide originally stated we should leave by 7:30am, changed it to 8am the day of (he later said he had had a late night from another tour), and then was still late picking us up due to traffic. The drive up to the Mysore area was pleasant, and I want to emphasize that our guide was definitely a knowledgable and friendly man. But he spent the tour mostly talking about the religious history of India. We learned very little about the sites we were seeing in terms of historical events, figures, or even the nuances of the art for most things. Throughout the palace, he kept saying that what we were seeing was boring and nothing compared to the temple stop later. Even if this was true (and I found them to be too different to compare), it was disheartening to be told that a looked forward to (and likely very interesting if we had gotten to learn more about the art and architecture within!) stop was apparently pointless. Our guide also didn't realize that we had already prepaid for the palace visit, and did not bring the necessary cash for our tickets. We had to pay, and he later made it right by stopping at an atm on the way to our hotel to repay us. At several points in the trip, he would pull the car over to lecture on Hindu religious beliefs or show us pictures from his phone of other temples he had visited. We ended up running quite behind and felt rushed through the temple as it was nearly closing time when we arrived. He also had us read directions from his phone and stressed out while joking about driving at night or through Bangalore's traffic, leaving us feeling less than taken care of. Overall, the tour felt haphazard and like we didn't really get to learn more about the sites than we would have by just visiting on our own. I hate to say it when the guide truly was nice and clearly very passionate about temples, but I cannot recommend a haphazard tour such as this to others.
We are very surprised by this review too! The guide in question, Varun, has had stellar outings on different tours, and has always scored a 5-star rating! Having said this, we take this review seriously and will assure you that we shall strive not to repeat the same mistakes again. We wish to compensate in some way for the bad day you have had. We can recommend a full refund, or, extend a complimentary tour (a different one or the same) when you are here in Bangalore next. Please let us know your preference. Looking forward to your reply!
The tour guide Varun was fantastic. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist, perfect for a private tour. We got off to an early start to avoid the Bengaluru traffic. This was a great move. We were the first visitors to the Summer Palace and had the whole place to ourselves, allowing plenty of time for the guide to point out details and share information on each element of the palace. The Mysuru Palace was next on the agenda. It was quite busy but not overwhelming. It is a stunning palace, and I got some great photos as well as hearing some great history and stories from Varun. The final stop was the Somnathpur temple. The attention to detail involved in the building of this temple is magnificent. I highly recommend this tour, it’s well worth the long day.
They treated us so well. Our guide answered all of our questions. The driver made the trip very comfortable.
The driver was right on time and ready to go! We had our own car for the 2 of us. The car was clean and had extra water for us. The drive was a long one there, but we got to see a lot of the landscape and countryside after getting out of Bangalore (which took quite a bit). Out tour guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the places and overall area we visited. We got a treat as well to get personal experience with how jaggery is made. Also, the restaurant chosen for lunch was really good and offered a variety of dishes. The car ride back was another long ride back, but overall the trip was worth it and we got to see, experience and learn a lot!
Fantastic guide - very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Loved seeing the sights. Be prepared for heavy crowds at the palace - at least when we were there! I loved the temple the most!
This was a great trip! Mr. Nizamuddin was my driver and he was cheerful and friendly, making the long trip more pleasant =) and Mr. Devaraj guided me through the several sites making me relive the greatness of the maharajas as well as the sacredness of Hindu temples. A packed trip but absolutely worth it!
