The grand Mysore palace is the city's main attraction. It is a brilliant example of Indo- Saracenic architecture, and the vibrant colours and intricate designs within it, reflects the city's rich heritage. The palace also houses a museum that exhibits the royal family's lifestyle and belongings.
One of the oldest zoological gardens in the country, Mysore Zoo is home to an incredible range of animals and birds. One cannot miss the white tiger and the African elephant. The zoo also offers a toy train ride.
If you are craving for some authentic Mysore cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Hotel RRR is famous for its Mysore-style thali and mouth-watering biryanis.The vibe of the place will give a sense of the city's food culture.
It's time to take some breathtaking pictures. The Chamundi hills form a backdrop to the city skyline, and the hills offer a bird's eye view of Mysore. One can also catch a glimpse of the Nandi statue, the largest in the country. The temple on the top is a popular pilgrimage spot.
A peaceful evening stroll around the Kukkarahalli lake should be an ideal way to end the tour. The lake is an ornithologist's paradise with many migratory birds. The sunsets here alongside the Mysore mountains are breathtaking.
You can save some time by prebooking the palace tickets and avoid the waiting line. A cab or a bike ride can be more convenient and time-saving. If you have more time, you can include places like St. Philomena's Church, Brindavan Gardens, Railway museum, or explore some local handicraft markets.
