Climb up 1000 stairs to reach the Sri Chamundeshwari Temple and catch a breathtaking view of the Mysore city. You can also visit the Nandi Statue and see the famous Chamundi Hill Bull.
Spread across 60 acres, Brindavan Gardens is a stunning garden located near the Krishna Raja Sagara Dam. It is a symmetrical garden that has beautiful fountains, sculptures, and botanical gardens. If you come in the evening, the colorful fountain show is a must-see.
Home to various bird species including painted storks, common spoonbills, and kingfishers, the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary is a treat for nature lovers. You can take a boat ride and watch the birds, crocodiles, and otters in their natural habitat.
If you have more time in Mysore, you can add a visit to the Mysore Zoo or the Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens to see the White Bengal Tigers. If you have less time, you can skip the Brindavan Gardens and head straight to the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary. Remember to carry sunscreen and water as Mysore can get very hot and humid.
