If you wish to extend this trip, consider adding an overnight stay near Kabini to take another safari or explore the Nagarhole National Park nearby. For a shorter trip, you can skip Mysore and head directly to Kabini from Bangalore in the early hours, but you might miss the beautiful cultural and natural spots along the way.
