A day-long bike tour exploring the countryside of Mysuru pedaling through farmland, villages, exploring local temples, and venturing into the island town of Srirangapatna. Mysuru’s countryside is rich with history and natural diversity; on the banks of the River Cauvery you’ll pass by quaint villages. A series of trails that criss-cross the villages along the river takes us on a journey into an island town famed for its rich history, old forts, temple, and a beautiful river bank.

Take a trip back in time with us as we explore local villages, meet with farmers and learn about their lives. Learn about making local brown sugar/jaggery and recount the stories of war and legends that made Srirangapatna the erstwhile capital of the Mysuru kingdom
