Tour Overview: 08 Nights / 09 Days Majestic South India

Embark on an enchanting journey through the heart of Southern India with Holiday Mantra’s specially curated 9-day tour. This itinerary is a perfect blend of royal heritage, misty hill stations, and lush green landscapes, covering the most iconic destinations: Mysore, Ooty, Kodaikanal, and Coimbatore.

Your adventure begins in Bangalore, from where you head to the royal city of Mysore. Here, you will step back in time while exploring the magnificent Mysore Palace and the fragrant Brindavan Gardens. The spiritual aura of Chamundi Hills and the artistic heritage of Jaganmohan Palace provide a soulful start to your pilgrimage of beauty.

As the journey climbs higher, you will enter Ooty, the “Queen of Hill Stations.” The drive through the Bandipur National Forest offers a chance to witness wildlife in their natural habitat. In Ooty, breathe in the fresh mountain air at the Botanical Gardens, enjoy a peaceful boat ride on Ooty Lake, and visit the sprawling tea estates that carpet the Nilgiri hills. A highlight of this leg is the optional Heritage Toy Train ride to Coonoor, offering breathtaking views of the valley.

The magic continues as you travel to Kodaikanal, the “Princess of Hill Stations.” Known for its star-shaped lake and misty “Pillar Rocks,” Kodaikanal is a paradise for nature lovers. Walking through the Pine Forests and enjoying the panoramic views from Coaker’s Walk will make you feel worlds away from the hustle of city life.

The tour concludes in the vibrant city of Coimbatore, where you can enjoy some last-minute shopping before your departure.

With Holiday Mantra, you don’t just travel; you create memories. We ensure a seamless experience with comfortable 3-star accommodations, a private MPV (Innova/Crysta) for your group, and delicious daily meals. From the royal corridors of Mysore to the misty peaks of Kodai, this tour is designed to rejuvenate your spirit.
