The Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi Hills in Mysuru is one of the most powerful Shakti Peethas of South India and a central focus during the famous Mysore Dussehra festival. Dedicated to Goddess Durga (Chamundeshwari), the temple offers divine blessings along with the grandeur of Mysore’s royal heritage.
This 3 Nights / 4 Days package combines spiritual darshan with cultural exploration — from Chamundi Hills and Mysore Palace to Brindavan Gardens and Srirangapatna. During Dussehra, you also get the chance to witness or participate in the royal procession and festivities.
Choose from Spiritual Standard, Premium, or Elite tiers — crafted for devotees, families, NRIs, HNIs, senior citizens, and solo women travelers to ensure a safe, immersive, and devotional experience.
