- 4 Days Wildlife Tour of Mysore Bandipur from Bangalore(ALL INCLUSIVE)
4 Days Wildlife Tour of Mysore Bandipur from Bangalore and it was an amazing experience. The tour was organized by a reputable company and it was all-inclusive, which made it hassle-free and very convenient. The tour started in Bangalore, where we were picked up by a comfortable and spacious vehicle. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, providing us with interesting facts and information about the places we visited. The first day of the tour was spent exploring the beautiful city of Mysore. We visited the Mysore Palace, which was absolutely stunning. We also got to see the Chamundi Hills and the famous Nandi Statue. The highlight of the day was the evening visit to the Brindavan Gardens, where we witnessed the musical fountains show. The next day, we headed to the Bandipur National Park. The journey was scenic and we got to see some wildlife on the way. Once we reached the park, we were taken on a thrilling jeep safari. We saw a variety of animals including elephants, deer, wild boar, and even a few tigers. The experience of being so close to these majestic creatures was truly unforgettable. On the third day, we went on a nature walk in the park with a naturalist. It was a great way to explore the flora and fauna of the park and learn about the different species of birds and animals. We also visited the nearby Gopalaswamy Betta, a beautiful hill with a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. The last day of the tour was a visit to the famous Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary. We took a boat ride on the river and saw a variety of birds including storks, herons, and kingfishers. It was a peaceful and serene experience. The tour also included all meals and accommodation, which were both excellent. The hotels were comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. The meals were delicious and we got to taste some authentic South Indian cuisine. Overall, the 4 Days Wildlife Tour of Mysore Bandipur from Bangalore was an amazing experience. It was well-organized, informative, and provided us with the opportunity to see some incredible wildlife. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and wants to explore the beautiful state of Karnataka.

Hemender was awesome,quiet helpful and he always checked with us to ensure that everything was doing good.I felt that cities in India are much safer to travel.We really enjoyed interacting with the people unless you can understand their English well because of different accent. I would highlyrecommend "Travelcon" for other visitors also.
What our customers ask about Karnataka Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the typical cost of single supplements on Karnataka tours?
Single supplements for Karnataka tours typically add USD 30-50 per night to the base price based on the hotel category. The 16-day Best of Karnataka and Goa tour charges USD 40 extra per night for 3-star hotels while 5-star properties like ITC Gardenia in Bangalore cost USD 65. Some tour companies like Agora Voyages run special "no single supplement" tours in the off-peak months. A recent TourRadar review noted: "I found the single supplement reasonable compared to other destinations and the room quality was excellent at properties like the Heritage Resort in Hampi."
How easy is it to meet other travelers on Karnataka group tours?
The peak travel season from October to February brings comfortable temperatures of 20-25°C (68-77°F) and draws more visitors to Karnataka. This creates natural opportunities to connect with fellow travelers at popular sites and on group tours. The winter months of December-February work well for visiting coastal areas like Goa. Wildlife enthusiasts often gather at Nagarhole National Park between October-May. A TourRadar guest shared: "Traveling in January was perfect - comfortable weather for sightseeing and lots of other tourists to interact with at major sites like Hampi and Mysore Palace."
How much free time do solo travelers get on Karnataka tours?
Tours in Karnataka mix guided activities with independent exploration time. A typical day includes morning tours followed by 3-4 hours of personal time later in the day. Destinations like Hampi often feature full free days where you can explore ancient ruins or join optional group activities. Hotels are selected for their convenient locations that support easy independent sightseeing. As one traveler noted: "I appreciated having mornings with the group but also enough free time to wander through markets in Mysore and find quiet spots in Hampi to watch the sunset."
How safe is Karnataka for solo travelers on guided tours?
Guided tours in Karnataka provide a secure travel environment with local guides and drivers available around the clock. Well-traveled routes between Bangalore Hampi and the Western Ghats feature established hotels like Radisson Bangalore City Center in safe central areas. A TourRadar guest reported: "I felt completely safe throughout the journey from exploring Mysore Palace to wildlife safaris in Nagarhole thanks to our knowledgeable guide Krishna who was always looking out for the group."
Do Karnataka tours offer shared room options to avoid single supplements?
Many tour operators pair solo travelers of the same gender to share rooms and avoid extra charges. Places like The Heritage Resort in Badami and Krishna Palace in Hampi regularly accommodate shared arrangements. According to one traveler: "I was paired with another solo female traveler at the Lemon Tree Hotel in Bangalore - we became great friends and explored the city markets together."
What types of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Karnataka tours?
Karnataka tours feature quality hotels and resorts that cater to international travelers. In Bangalore stays include the ITC Gardenia or Lemon Tree Premier while Hampi offers the Heritage Resort or Hyatt Place. Traditional properties like the Royal Orchid Brindavan Garden in Mysore blend local character with modern comforts. Tours provide single or shared room choices with hotels picked for their prime locations and security measures. A TourRadar review stated: "The hotels were excellent and perfectly located for sightseeing making it easy to connect with other travelers in common areas."
