If you are looking for a tour that can offer refreshing scenic beauty as well as opportunities to explore the glorious history of our culture, then a tour plan encompassing vacations at Bangalore, Mysore and the hill station of Ooty, is best for you. However, the task of planning a tour to not one but three destinations can be so daunting that it demotivates most of us. Instead of missing out on a holiday opportunity, opt for a tour package that can cover all the three destinations. At Bangalore Tourism, we have designed travel packages that can combine trips to all the three cities.
Our Bangalore Mysore Ooty Tour Packages offers a hassle free way for travellers to enjoy the best of all the places. Admire the architectural excellence of Mysore forts, imbibe the cultural richness of Bangalore city, and rejuvenate in the refreshing greenery of Ooty and in the serenity of its lakes, and walk through its beautiful garden. Our tour package offers tourists the opportunity to do all this and more.
Each of these three destinations offers many amazing places for sightseeing.
