Wonderful experience
I took my trip from Bangalore to Bandipur Jungle Lodge which was incredible! I experienced Real life-changing moments on the jungle safari. I extended the trip to Ooty and although this was enjoyable, on reflection I would have preferred to stay the extra night at the JSL. Mohan, my tour guide, was amazing! So polite, attentive and patient! We had along delay in Bangalore on our way back but he was very experienced in managing the traffic! Thank you 5 Senses, for another lovely experience

Unforgettable safaris, and peaceful country road trip combined with Mysore royal palace.
5 Senses worked with us to accommodate our interests, and was so helpful in helping us plan a trip that fit with our available dates and budget! We highly recommend Bandipur/Nagarhole wildlife sanctuary. The drive was visually interesting and It was so peaceful staying in the natural park, and the meals were plentiful and delicious. Our cabin was cozy with a view of the Kabini River. There were several monkeys on the premises. Our first safari was a jeep ride through the forest where we actually made a rare sighting of a tiger, in addition to seeing spotted deer. The next day our early boat safari set out with a naturalist. There we spotted river otters, a mongoose, and many varieties of birds. Overall, all the details of our trip were taken care of well. We were picked up, and dropped off multiple times as planned. Our tour of Mysore Palace was conducted by a tour guide who met us and had us skip the long line. The bird sanctuary was closed for boating, but still filled with tremendous views of birds nesting on small islands. Our driver was kind, polite, and as conversant as we wanted. Don’t skip this experience if you are staying in Bengaluru or Mysore.
Response from the operator: I am glad you enjoyed the wildlife tour of Bandipur and Mysore. Thanks for taking the time to review this tour. It was our pleasure hosting you.

Great galavanting with genuine gentleman
Our tour guide - Mohan - was kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and educational. My party made massive schedule change after schedule change, and though I'm sure it was annoying he was impeccably patient, pleasant, and professional and found the best trip we could imagine. I would trust Mohan to drive safely across India, tastefully sprinkling in facts, and trust him and Five Senses to collectively create great experiences.

Wildlife and Palaces
I had a weekend free after conference in Bangalore. I signed up for the wildlife tour at Bandipur and Mysore. This was a great way to spend the 2 days exploring the rich wildlife as well as cultural heritage of the erstwhile Kingdom of Mysore. Anyone who has 2 days in Bangalore should do this. It's a great way to spend the weekend.

Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangalore.
How much does Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore cost?
+
Prices start at $495 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangalore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangalore is not rushed.
Is Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Bangalore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangalore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangalore and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangalore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangalore?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangalore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangalore city tour with English guide & multi language support, Mysore tour from Bangalore by tourism ministry approved company, Bangalore Through the Ages: Lalbagh, Temple & Market City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangalore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangalore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore?
+

Does Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 33 listed pickup locations in and around Bangalore. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bandipur wildlife and Mysore experience in 2 days from Bangalore offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
