Mumbai and Karnataka itinerary: 10 days in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Mysore, Nagarhole and Coorg
10 days · 9 nights · 5 stays · sample itinerary
Ten days from Mumbai into southern Karnataka: two nights in Mumbai, a flight to Bengaluru, Mysore and Tipu Sultan’s Srirangapatna, the Kabini side of Nagarhole for safaris, and the coffee country of Coorg.
It is a sample itinerary — a starting point, not a timetable. Each night has a place to stay, named where one is known; check that it is open and has room before you book. No flight or train is named, and the times in the plan are placeholders. Open it in the planner and it becomes a trip of your own, starting a month from today, with the places to see already on their days.

What is left for you to fill in
No flight or train is named, and every time in the plan is a placeholder, marked approximate: choose the services that suit, and set the drive times with whoever is driving. Where a journey says how is not stated, choose how. The places to see have no time of day; add one if it helps.
A stay that reads "not named" is a night with no place to stay yet: choose one. A stay whose note lists others has alternatives worth comparing. Check that each is open and has room for your dates before you book.
