Useful Tips

If you have extra time, you can add a few more visits like Mysore Zoo, Mysore Palace, or GRS Fantasy Park. Mysore Palace is especially a must-go for anyone who visits Mysore for the first time. Some Jain temples are located on the hill, and you can visit them and cover more ground. Alternatively, if you have less time, you can shorten your visits at each place, remove Brindavan Gardens from the itinerary, or hire a taxi for quicker commutes, but make sure to check the opening and closing hours for each attraction when planning your daily itinerary.
