Famous for its opulent architecture and amusement activities, the Palace is visited by several visitors every day. The colossal Palace boasts of massive courtyards, bright interiors, kingly grounds, splendid spiral staircases, stately towers and a luscious garden in a proud display of posh regality.Anyone who admires classic architecture and artistry would be delighted to experience it first hand at this Palace.

Mr John Cameron of Lalbagh was assigned the task of landscaping Palace along with its surroundings. The complete construction of the palace was completed in the year, 1878.The Palace saw many additions and modifications in its architecture in subsequent years. Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar added a few portions like the twin external staircase, the platform for musicians etc. outside the Durbar Hall. In 1970, HH Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar transferred ownership of the property to two companies, Chamundi Hotels and Shree Venkateshwara Real Estate Enterprises. However, this transaction was later shown to be fraudulent. A legal battle followed between this deal and Jayachamarajendra's son, Srikanta Datta. The five sisters of Srikanta Datta are now in possession of sections of the 28 acres of the Palace. In the year 1990 Srikant Datta finally compromised with the Chamaraju group and got back his part of the property including the main Palace except for 45 acres that the Chamaraju group still retains. Architecture:The Palace showcases exquisite wooden interiors surrounded by pristine walls. The Palace is enclosed within beautiful gardens. The architecture is a medley of Tudor style and Scottish style and has gothic undertones. A lot of physical artefacts inside are of British origin. It is said that the architecture of this building is inspired by that of the Windsor Castle and other architectural marvels of England and Normandy. The most prominent features of the Palace like the two-level granite structure of the fortified towers and turreted parapets take direct inspiration from the Tudor building styles. The entrance is decorated with grand Roman arches. The exterior of the building is covered in eccentric shapes and angles. The exterior walls are of a blushing cinnabar shade that gives the building a quaint Victorian vibe. The floor of the open courtyard of the Palace is adorned with granite seats covered with azure ceramic tiles. The ground floor also contains a beautifully decorated ballroom.The first floor of the Palace has a distinct chamber known as the Durbar Hall attached to an ornate staircase.This hall is famous for the enormous elephant head that is mounted in it and its gothic style tinted glass windows.

So many things to experience; beaches, rainforest, wildlife, waterfalls, temples and monuments galore.

I have seen in many of your posts that you have a location in its English and Indian name. But several times I have seen you use 3 names like “Skandagiri is also known as Kalavara Betta or Kalavara Durga”. Why is it that some places go by 3 names? Are those historic names?

In some cases, there are old names and new names, in some cases, it is because of its popularity or due to some historic event.

Hoggenakal looks like a wild ride. Do you know if you can white water raft or kayak down those rapids?

Coracle rides are allowed in the off season.

A Road Trip: Bengaluru To Wayanad By Bike

Photo of Amir Shan

Wayanad, a wonderful district in the north-east of Kerala state, India! It is also known as the Green Paradise in the midst of the Western Ghats. The name ‘Wayanad’ is derived from ‘Vayal Nadu’ which translates to ‘The land of paddy fields’ in English. If you’re planning to visit Wayanad, let me tell you, this hill station is rich in its flora and fauna. It comprises mainly of tea-coffee plantations and it is full of green valleys, dense forests and amazing wildlife.Thinking of the alluring greenery, a road trip to Wayanad, is the best option thus, I opted for a bike ride. I planned this trip with my wife. Also, Wayanad does not have a train station and the nearest station is Kozhikode (Calicut), at a distance of 77 KMS from Wayanad, thus travelling by your own vehicle or hiring a cab is feasible. It is bordered by Karnataka to north and north-east & Bengaluru to Wayanad is approximately 301 KMS.

The Route We Took:

1) Route that we took was from Bangalore- via Mysore – Nanjangudu – Gundlupet – Sulthan Bathery.

2) Once you reach Mysore take Ooty road from Mysore.

3) After 58 KMS on Ooty road from Mysore, you will get a small town called Gudelpet (Gundlupet). You will get a forest/RTO check post in the same place. You have to take right turn towards Calicut NH. You can see the sign board towards Calicut (Kozhikode). Please don’t go straight after the check post from Gudelpet unless you want to reach Ooty. Because that’s the road towards Ooty!

4) After Gundelpet, you have around 57 KMS to Sulthan Bathery. Sulthan Bathery is the first town you get once you reach Wayanad.

5) On the way to Wayanad from Gudelpet, you have to cross through the forest area. Then, you will get Wayanad Wild Life Sanctuary.

Our Journey By Bike:

Photo of A Road Trip: Bengaluru To Wayanad By Bike by Amir Shan

We left early in the morning at 5 AM. (ADVICE: It is better to leave early in the morning from Bangalore to avoid traffic and reach early during the day time to Wayanad.)According to me, the best route to Wayanad from Bangalore is through Mysore. We covered 310 KMS approximately in 7 hrs with two breaks.We had our breakfast in Mysore around 9 AM at Kamat restaurant, We had Masala Dosa and coffee. Our second stop was at Wayanad forest, we stopped to click a few pictures and relax as the view was breath-taking. We clicked a few pictures and suddenly the Forest officers paid a visit and asked us to leave immediately. They told us stopping vehicles in the forest area was not allowed.(ADVICE: Please never stop in the forest, anywhere throughout the journey.)Our third and last stop was directly in Kalpetta at the homestay. The journey was smooth and the roads were quite good & well maintained.

Best Place To Stay:

Major cities in Wayanad are Kalpetta, Sultan Bathery, Mananthavady, Meenangadi, Pulpally, Panamaram and Muttil, while, Kalpetta, being the Capital of the district. It is a bustling town surrounded by dense coffee & tea plantations and mountains.

I personally prefer homestays whenever I am travelling. There are plenty of options from budget to luxury places. Apart from the administrative capital of the district, Kalpetta is also the centre of tourism activities. We stayed at Green Peace Holiday home in Kalpetta. It was a good and decent place to stay. Our room was spacious and had a beautiful view from the Balcony. However, the food was unavailable but they got it from a nearby restaurant and served us. (Also, Vythri resort and Windflower resort are a good option if you wish for luxury resorts.)

Best Time To Visit:

Things To Carry:

1. Light jackets/sweater depending on the month you are travelling.

2. Raincoats/Umbrellas, if you are travelling during the monsoons. The rains in the hill station can always take you by surprise. It rained for a few minutes, when we visited in the month of November.

3. If possible, carry a binocular – there are many amazing birds that you want to get a closer look at.

4. Camping in Wayanad requires a lot of equipment if you are looking to pitch your tent outside and sleep under the stars.

2. The Chembra trek starts early in the morning AT 7:00 AM and only 200 people are allowed at a time for the trek. There are jeeps available to take you to the top.

3. For Chembra Trek, take a guide from the Forest Office. The trek is completely across the wilderness.

4. For Banasurasagar Dam, one can either trek up to the top of the dam or hire a jeep/bus. We opted for the bus which charges INR 10 per person. It is easy to trek down.

5. Kuruva Island is one of the very popular places in Wayanad but you need to reserve one whole day as it is far from the city, we skipped it but you can visit if you have time.

6. Start early, wherever you plan to go, as the evening dawns pretty fast in Wayanad.

7. Be careful while driving at the hairpin bends, it can be fatal.

8. Shopping is cheap in Wayanad, and you can keep some budget aside for it!

10. Be ready for a lot of trekking.

11. Lastly, enjoy your stay at Wayanad and have fun because Wayanad has a lot to offer.

Essentials for an Epic Bike Road Trip Across India - A Quick Guide

This is the ultimate guide for a memorable bike road trip across India.

The best part?

We'll provide you with essential tips even if you're embarking on your first bike trip across states.

Planning a bike trip across India can be intimidating. But with the right preparation, you can have the ride of your lifetime. The good news is there are some easy things you can do to make your trip epic.

If you want to create lasting memories on an incredible bike journey across incredible India, then this quick guide is for you.

Ready to hit the road? Let's first understand the route planning, bike servicing, essentials packing, and safety tips you'll need.

Before turning over that engine, confirm you have these India-specific documents handy. Nothing derails a ride faster than realizing your license has expired or your insurance has lapsed!

Ensuring your Indian license is current and valid nationally is non-negotiable. Carry it at all times when riding across state borders.

Keep your bike's updated registration certificate and insurance paperwork easily accessible. It serves as proof of coverage in case an accident occurs.

Pack your Aadhaar card or other Indian government ID, like a PAN or voter ID. This helps verify identity for hotel stays, tolls, etc.

Metro cities like Delhi require a pollution under control (PUC) certificate to legally ride. Verify regional needs before hitting the road.

While UPi, debit and credit cards enable tapped payments at most shops and petrol pumps, but do carry some cash as a backup, enough to cover hotels, food, or supplies.

When preparing for days on Indian roads, a luggage strategy is key. You need to strike the difficult balance between travelling light and bringing sufficient supplies. After much trial and error, here are my road-tested recommendations:

Invest in a quality set of soft saddlebags that compactly attach behind or on your bike seat. Water-resistant models with ample space to evenly distribute weight are ideal. I prefer removable bags to wheeled trolleys for their flexibility, allowing me to detach and carry gear right into hotels.

Backpack In addition to saddlebags, wearing a 20–30-litre backpack allows you to access important items without stopping. I keep my wallet, phone, snacks, jacket, and other frequently used gear in my backpack. Choose a comfortable bag with chest and waist straps to prevent neck strain.

When it comes to packing, carefully consider every item you place in your bags. Multi-use, lightweight, quick-dry items are best selected. Roll clothes tightly rather than fold them to maximize space. And fill any extra gaps in your bags with needed spare parts or tools.

Much like packing smart, dressing appropriately for long India bike trips requires thoughtfulness too. Proper riding gear safeguards you from the elements, accidents, and fatigue, regardless of what the open road throws your way.

Wearing a sturdy, well-fitting ISI-certified helmet is hands down the most vital piece of riding gear. Make it non-negotiable, even if your state doesn't mandate it. Choose a comfortable full-face style with a protective chin guard for optimal safety.

Armoured Riding Jacket and Pants Look for jackets and pants made specifically for motorcycle riding, ideally with armour protections over commonly impacted zones like elbows, shoulders, and knees. Perforated textiles with mesh linings make these bearable in India's heat without compromising safety.

Slide-on knee guards add another layer of protection when riding across uneven terrain. Low cost with a big upside if taking a spill!

Cover your ankles at minimum with shoes that have sturdy, non-skid soles to plant your feet steadily on unexpected gravel, mud, or weed overgrowths.

Balaclavas worn under your helmet provide warmth during the winter and soak up sweat on hot days. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are key for India.

Today's gadgets keep us connected, on track, and safe during lengthy bike trips. Though packing light remains key, don't skimp on these fundamental electronics:

  • Mobile Phone - Phones are our lifelines, providing music, maps, and emergency contact with assistance if injured. Protect in a waterproof case and prepare offline navigation as a backup.
  • Action Camera - Capture incredible Indian terrain footage hands-free with compact action cameras like GoPro clipped onto your helmet or bike. They require minimal space while preserving priceless memories.
  • Fuel Tracking Apps - Apps like 'Find My Petrol Pump' scoped to Indian locations simplify finding petrol stations wherever you travel nationally.

Over years of cross-country adventures, I've come to rely on my beloved Bajaj Dominar 400 to handle every twist and turn the open road throws our way. Whenever it's time to gear up for another bike trip across India's rich landscapes, these are must-have essentials I pack specifically to complement my Dominar:

A compact magnetic tank bag fastens perfectly across the Dominar's fuel tank to house all my riding paperwork, gadgets and wallet within easy reach. It also leaves space for adding a hydration pack if needed.

Phone Mount

I securely mount my mobile onto the Dominar's handlebars utilizing a dedicated adjustable phone holder. This keeps maps visible at a quick glance without blocking instrumentation readouts or compromising control.

Protective Frame Sliders

Added frame sliders protect the Dominar's fairings and engine brackets if the bike ever tips over on gravel or gets knocked whilst parked. Worthwhile insurance against expensive panel damages!

Custom-fit rear seat cargo nets secure any additional lightweight bags or supplies down securely while riding. Less risk of items falling off when tackling rough terrain.

Handle Grips

I upgraded the Dominar's stock handle grips early on and added Enhanced VR Grips. Their wider bullet-style shape provides better leverage and control during long hours riding crosswinds or cruising highways fatigued.

Helmet Lock

A simple yet effective steering lock ensures my helmet stays securely fastened to the Dominar when temporarily parked roadside. One less thing to worry about if briefly stepping away from the bike.

Combined, these enhancements allow me to push my Dominar 400 to its performance limits without compromise. We continue notching more dependable miles together exploring India!

Before closing, I want to emphasize a few points to uphold based on past India riding mishaps I learned from. 

They boil down to strategically caring for your body and machine so you both make it home intact.

  • Avoid night riding - Limit rides to daylight hours only given the unpredictability of terrain, vehicles, and animals crossing unexpectedly.
  • Ride Defensively - Practice evasive manoeuvres should anyone merge or turn into your lane unexpectedly on congested trunk routes.
  • Check road conditions- Research road quality in advance since weather takes heavy tolls on rural stretches.
  • Watch for animals and people - Scan roadsides for sudden appearances of pedestrians, cyclists, or livestock, which are commonplace.

Safe journeying across remarkable India! Comment below if you have any other questions.
