About Hotel Mayura Riverview
Hotel Mayura Riverview at Srirangapatna occupies one of the most atmospheric hotel sites in Karnataka — on the banks of the Cauvery at the historic island fortress of Tipu Sultan. The property has 20 river-facing cottages and double rooms, with AC Double room balconies overlooking the Cauvery directly. Coracle rides and boating on the river are available from the hotel.
The hotel is 3.3km from Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary — South India's finest river island bird sanctuary — making it an ideal base for early morning boat safaris. At 16km from Mysore and 12km from KRS Brindavan Gardens, the hotel is also a practical overnight stopover on the Bangalore-Mysore road.
Review feedback is mixed on room maintenance — some rooms are better maintained than others. Book AC Double rooms with balcony for the best Cauvery views and more comfortable facilities. The riverside location, towering trees, birds, coracle rides and the morning Cauvery mist are universally praised.
Srirangapatna — Tipu Sultan's Island Fortress
Srirangapatna is an island in the Cauvery River — the fortified capital from which Tipu Sultan fought four Anglo-Mysore Wars against the British East India Company between 1767 and 1799. The fall of Srirangapatna in 1799 and the death of Tipu Sultan marked the end of independent Mysore's most formidable challenge to British power in South India.
Daria Daulat Bagh — Tipu's Summer Palace (2km)
The Daria Daulat Bagh (Garden of the Wealth of the Sea) is Tipu Sultan's summer palace — a single-storey teak structure with extraordinary painted murals on its walls depicting the Battle of Pollilur and scenes of Tipu's court. The paintings are extraordinarily detailed and well-preserved. One of the finest examples of 18th-century Indian secular painting.
Gumbaz — Mausoleum of Tipu Sultan (3km)
The Gumbaz is the mausoleum of Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali — an octagonal Indo-Islamic structure surrounded by a garden of cypress trees. Tipu's actual tomb is covered in a tiger-striped cloth and guarded by members of his lineage who still maintain the mausoleum.
Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary (3.3km)
Ranganathittu is South India's finest river island bird sanctuary — painted storks, spoonbills, open-billed storks, cormorants, herons and fruit bats on rocky islands in the Cauvery. Mugger crocodiles sunbathe on the banks. Boat safaris (30 minutes) bring you within metres of nesting colonies. Best between June and November at peak nesting season.

"Waking up to the sound of the Cauvery flowing past the balcony, with birds calling in the trees and mist on the river at dawn — this is the reason to stay here. The riverside atmosphere is genuinely special, particularly in the early morning before day visitors arrive."
Cauvery riverside — the defining experience
"The coracle ride on the Cauvery (100 rupees per person) is a unique experience — spinning in the current while the boatman paddles with remarkable skill. Early morning is best, with mist on the river. Ranganathittu boat safari is 8 minutes away and superb."
Coracle rides and Ranganathittu
"Book AC Double rooms with balcony — these directly overlook the river and are the best-maintained rooms. Some non-AC rooms and older cottages have upkeep issues. The restaurant food is average but the atmosphere of eating beside the river more than compensates."
