For an adrenaline rush like no other, visit Mysuru Skydiving for your first-ever tandem skydive at 10,000 ft. Meet with your experienced instructor to go over all safety instructions and then enjoy the panoramic views of the city and the surrounding hills as you freefall from the sky.
Head over to Dyu Art Café, a quirky café adorned with hand-painted murals and quaint decor elements. Savor delicious vegetarian fare cooked with locally sourced ingredients like the ‘Buffalo Soldier Burger’ or the ‘Dum Biryani’. Finish it off with some fresh Ginger Chai and homemade cupcakes.
Experience the sights and sounds of the city and the beautiful Mysore Palace on a cycle tour through crowded bazaars and past ancient markets. Rent a cycle at Mysuru Cycle Tour and hop on a guided ride through the city's hidden alleys, vibrant markets and beautiful gardens.
Visit the centuries-old tradition of silk weaving at the Mysore Silk Factory. Watch how silk is hand-dyed, spun, and woven into elaborate sarees and fabrics by skilled artisans. Indulge in some silk shopping and pick up some authentic Mysore silk sarees to take back home.
End your day with a royal experience at the Mysore Palace Light and Sound Show. Witness the history of the Wodeyar dynasty and the grandeur of the Mysore Palace unfold through a captivating light and sound display. The show starts at 7 PM during weekends and lasts for 45mins.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the Brindavan Gardens for a musical fountain show. The Gardens are open from 6:30 PM to 8 PM. For a less adventurous itinerary, skip the skydiving and opt for a peaceful walk in the Kukkarahalli Lake or a visit to the St. Philomena's Church.
