    Try making the dome a “time capsule” have the kids guess how long Tipu’s reign lasted by measuring the height of the dome in relation to a nearby tree. Then, after the mausoleum, walk to the fort and compare how the gate count matches the number of carved doors. If you’re staying at KK Comforts, grab a quick snack there before heading back to the fort.
