Located at the base of Chamundi Hill, Karanji Lake Nature Park offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The park features a lake with boating facilities, a bird sanctuary, a butterfly park, and there's a small café offering refreshments. A serene spot for a picnic, and walks around the park.
The Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum showcases sand art from artist MN Gowri. The museum houses over 150 sculptures and murals, including tribute to sculptor Ashok Gudigar and some spectacular giant-size sculptures.
The Mysore Palace is a treat to see in the evening. Witness and hear about the dramatic history and architecture of the palace. Don't miss the history and sound show held at the palace.
The itinerary comes to an end. Time to unwind and relax after a memorable day of adventure in Mysore.
If you have some more free time, we recommend visiting the Railway Museum of Mysore, which offers a terrific insight into India's rich railway history. It's where the country's first railway engine is kept. If you're looking for other outdoor activities, you can also explore Mysore Zoo or take a visit to the Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion which also contains a sprawling art gallery.
If you're running short on time, we suggest cutting the Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum from your itinerary. Alternatively, you can adjust the timings for the sightseeing locations depending on your preference.
