About this activity

Walk the path lead by the ingenuity of the Maharajahs of Mysuru. On this half day walk, let us take you through their innovative political systems, their contribution in the economic, banking, and educational sectors.

To date, Mysuru is considered a model city for its ideal infrastructure and astute ways of using its resources. You also get to try the local flavors in the form of its cuisine and famed Mysuru nugget coffee. You also get to take a guided walk inside the grand Amba Vilas Palace. The Maharajah walk is ideal for travelers who want to make the most of their time in the Royal city.
