Tourists of Bangalore will be met with opinionated drivers who do their best to stray from seeing the palace of Tipu Sultan. The reasons never seem to match between drivers or guides, so it’s best to form your own decision on this destination. Chances are, if you’re on the tourist circuit within the state of Karnataka, you’ll be visiting Tipu Sultan’s fort town Srirangapatnam, near Mysore. Touring the smaller, less maintained Bangalore Fort provides an excellent introduction into one of the most famous, and recognizable names of South India.
