The Mysore Palace should be at the top of your itinerary.

The palace boasts unique chambers, intricately carved doors, stunning artwork and antiques, and sprawling gardens. The palace is illuminated with thousands of lights on Sundays and public holidays, making it a perfect spot for a romantic evening stroll.
This beautiful garden is built across the river Cauvery in a sprawling area of 150 acres. The highlight of the garden is the musical fountain show that takes place in the evening. You can watch the dancing fountains while listening to popular songs. The other attractions include boating, an aquarium and a zoo.
Chamundi Hill is a popular tourist destination in Mysore known for its beauty and religious significance. You can take a ropeway or climb the steps to the Hilltop to visit the Chamundeshwari Temple. From here you can enjoy the panoramic view of the city and the nearby hills. You can also visit Nandi Temple, which is located at the foot of the hill.
End your honeymoon trip with a romantic boat ride at Karanji Lake. This serene lake is famous for its picturesque beauty and the aviary that houses a variety of bird species. You can also take a nature walk or visit the butterfly park here and watch the colourful butterflies fluttering around you.
