Step away from the city and into the soul of South India. This curated full-day tour weaves through sacred shrines, serene landscapes, and legends etched in stone. Begin with a traditional breakfast at the foothills of Nandi, explore the grandeur of Bhoganandeshwara Temple, embrace the tranquil energy of the Isha Foundation, and end the day amidst the mythical carvings of Lepakshi Temple.
Tour Program
- Breakfast Stop at Nandi Upachar
Start your day with a hearty South Indian breakfast featuring fluffy idlis, crisp dosas, pongal, and steaming filter coffee at the popular Nandi Upachar.
- Bhoganandeshwara Temple
Tucked beneath the shadow of Nandi Hills, Bhoganandeshwara Temple is a stone symphony of dynasties, devotion, and design. Walk through ancient corridors where time stands still, past sculpted Yali pillars and the divine Kalyana Mantapa, where Shiva and Parvati are said to have been wed. With every chisel mark and silent shrine, this temple murmurs stories from a thousand years ago — regal, raw, and untouched.
- Adiyogi Statue (Isha Foundation) – Chikkaballapura
Amidst the foothills and rustling trees, the Isha Yoga Center offers a breath of stillness. Here, architecture dissolves into silence. Walk barefoot on cool stone, feel the rhythm of breath and mountain breeze, and stand before the serene meditative spaces — where the presence of Adiyogi lingers, quiet yet vast. It’s not just a stop; it’s a pause — deep, grounding, and timeless.
- Lepakshi Temple
In the sleepy village of Lepakshi, mythology flows through every carved stone. This 16th-century marvel is draped in legends — from the hanging pillar that defies gravity to the immense Nagalinga coiled in eternal prayer. Ceiling frescoes bloom with ancient colour, while Sita’s footprint rests quietly under the sun. Here, the Ramayana lives, the stones speak, and the air hums with an unseen magic that never left.
- Lunch Stop – Big Bay
Break for lunch at Big Bay, where you can choose from a variety of eateries offering local and multi-cuisine options to suit every taste.
