I have stay in Bangalore but missed a lot didnt visit this palace still now. Finally last month made a point to visit. In one word spectacular. Everyone who has little bit interest in history and culture should visit this place. Very well kept and with very less crowded. ( Probably because of bit higher entry fee) . Entry fee is about 225 for Indians which also includes the audio tour. But I feel they should have allowed without the audio tour with reduced price. But then there is a separate cost of photography! 675 rupees for regular camera. Yes first time in India I am seeing such ridiculously priced package. Its not too big of a place. But worth a visit once. There are stairs to climb up do elders please take a note of that.
