Top Things to do in Mysore

Visit mysore palace.

Most visitors understandably make a beeline for the unbelievably opulent Mysore Palace, the seat of the Wodeyar maharajahs who ruled the kingdom from 1399 to 1950. The palace you see today was actually built in 1912 after a fire destroyed the first palace and it is a beautiful example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, a fusion of styles that creates a really spectacular sight.

Inside the palace really drips with extravagant opulence and fine details, each new room you discover seems to surpass the last in terms of rich colours, fine paintings, elaborate architecture, fine wood carved doors, mosaic floors and stained glassed windows.

On Sundays, public holidays and during the Dussehra festival the palace it spectacularly illuminated at 7pm however, especially at the weekends, don’t expect to have this palace to yourself as it gets really crowded. The entrance costs 200 rupees for foreigners and an audio guide is included in the foreigners ticket price which helps to bring this spectacular building to life and highlights details that you might otherwise miss.

Climb Chaumandi Hill

Learn more about the ancient myths and legends of Mysore by climbing up Chaumandi Hill. Once Mysore (Mysuru) was known as Mahishur which means “the town where the demon buffalo was slain.” Mysore was ruled by a demon called Mahishasura who was killed by the Goddess Chamundeshwari ( Chaumandi or known as Durga in North India) This is what gave Mysore its name and the legend is still celebrated enthusiastically during the Dussehra (Dasara) celebrations.

On the top of Chaumandi Hill is the Sri Chamundeswari Temple , visit in the morning and enjoy the colour and buzz around the temples as devotees dressed in the finest, most colourful saris buy coconuts and other offerings for the revered goddess and also check out the statue of the demon Mahishasura.

If you are feeling energetic you can climb the over 1000 steps along with the pilgrims, some of whom painstakingly bless every single step. Or you can take a bus or auto rickshaw all the way up the hill or to just over half way to the big Nandi statue and walk the rest of the way from there. Also make sure to take some time to just enjoy views the cool air and views over Mysore and beyond.

Explore Devaraja Market

Another essential sight in Mysore is the vibrant and atmospheric Devaraja Market. This market is over 1oo years old and still vibrantly bustles with life, colour, noise and a good dose of chaos. Devaraja Market really is aan essential Indian experience and a photographer’s paradise.

Wander the stalls and see stacks of colourful fruits, vegetables and spices, garlands of fragrant flowers, heaps of colourful dyes and rows of sparkling bangles. The sights, sounds and smells of the market are truly a feast for the senses but be prepared to haggle if you intend on making any purchases.

Yoga and Ayurveda Courses in Mysore

Mysore is a worldwide famous centre for ayurveda , the ancient science of Indian herbal medicine and holistic healing, as well as Mysore style Ashtanga yoga and many people come from all over the world to study and practice Yoga here or to train to be a yoga teacher.

The Shri K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute is the most famous guru and yoga school in Mysore and it can be difficult to get a place here, Mystic Yoga School is also a popular and well respected choice. Most yoga schools take their practice very seriously and require a one-month commitment.

If you don’t have time for a full course, visit the Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre, a hotel set in lush gardens where the full board package includes a yoga class, a relaxing ayurveda massage and a beauty treatment.

Art Galleries and Museums in Mysore

Mysore has a great range of museums and art galleries . The Art Gallery , housed in the old Jaganmohan Palace, it features some beautiful paintings and kitschy collections that give you insight into how the Wodeyar dynasty lived. The National Museum of Mankind contains some excellent exhibitions on rural Indian life and crafts. The Jayalakshmi Vilas Complex Museum on the university campus showcases folklore and some really ancient artefacts and for a bit of fun – check out the open-air Rail Museum .

Day Tours of Mysore

I took a Mysore day tour with goMowgli which gave me such a deeper insight into the rich and glittering history of this fascinating town. The morning started with the stories of the myths and legends of Chaumandi Hill before a local dosa breakfast . I felt really lucky to visit the Mysore Silk Factory to see how these famous sarees are made and to the sandalwood oil factory , another of Mysore’s famous and highly popular exports.

Visiting the elaborate Mysore Palace was of course a highlight and goMowgli also showed me some off the beaten track museums , I met some talented stone sculptors and wooden inlay artisans who can do magic with pieces of rocks and wood. We found time to enjoy a fabulous traditional meal on a banana leaf for lunch while I probed the goMowgli team for all their local tips for eating and drinking in Mysore and topped off the day with a guided tour through the amazing Devaraja Market and some sweet street food treats! Highly recommended!

Facts about Mysore

Mysore is actually home to 7 palaces and much of the architecture in this flamboyant city looks European. Take time to admire Mysore’s unique fusion of architecture at the Government House, the Rangacharlu Memorial Hall, the glittering clock towers and statues in the roundabouts and St Philomena’s Cathedral.

The Mysore maharajas were very popular and well loved and they were really quite advanced for their times. It is said that Mysore Palace had electricity even before London’s lights were switched on. The maharahjas were also responsible for many public works that benefited the economy and local people.

Mysore is also famous for its production of fine silk, sandalwood and other local products and is the best place to shop for sandalwood oil , incense and exquisite (but expensive) silk saris and other handicrafts. I found visiting the silk factory on the goMowgli tour really fascinating and it’s something not many tourists see.

Where to Stay in Mysore

Mysore is a popular destination, especially for Indian tourists, and there is a good range of accommodation available.

Save: The recently opened Sonder Hostel is a great option for backpacker’s looking to meet other travellers and stay on a budget. You can also find plenty of budget accommodation options in guesthouses. Hotel Dasprakash and Hotel Galaxy Comforts are good options. You can also find apartments near the Gokulan Road area of town which is popular with Yogis – try Urban Oasis Compact if you want to book in advance.

Splurge: For something a bit more stylish try the popular Park Lane Hotel with comfortable rooms, a good location and a nice beer terrace. Or if you fancy living it up like royalty you can even stay in a former palace built my the same Wodeyar Maharajahs at the Royal Orchid Metropole Hotel.

Where to Eat and Drink in Mysore

Mysore has plenty of places to eat for all budgets. Near Gandhi Circle Hotel RRR has great veg meals on a banana leaf and biryanis but it can be hard to get a table as it is so popular. Aramane Cafe, near the Palace, is a good place to get a coffee or vegetarian lunch, Madhava Bhavan is another good pure veg restaurant.

If you want something different try Mezzulluna for good Western and Chinese food (try the steak or kebabs) along with Indian favourites. In Gokulam you can get an amazing vegan thali served on a banana leaf or if it’s a beer you are craving the Pelican Pub is popular and The Park Lane Hotel’s beer terrace is a great place to hang out, eat and drink.

How to Get to Mysore

Mysore is most easily reached on an approx 3 hours train or bus journey from Bangalore. The nearest airport is in Bangalore and there is also a ‘ Fly bus’ that goes straight from Bangalore airport to Mysore.

Day Trips from Mysore

Karnataka is a fascinating but still under rated and off the beaten track destination. Within a day trip from Mysore you can see authentic, rural Indian life, marvel at the detailed carvings on the Hoysala temples at Somanathapura , enjoy the refreshing waterfalls at Shivanasamudra falls and see the temples being excavated from the sand of the cursed city of Talakadu See more here

A Three-Day Itinerary to Mysore, India

Boasting some of the most glorious palaces that recreate the past days of grandeur before the eyes of the stunned beholder, Mysore is aptly titled the ‘Heritage City of Karnataka’. Known for sandalwood, there is a pleasing fragrance permeating the city wherever you go. The broad, clean roads paved with wide footpaths offer perfect ways to explore the city on foot, and the quiet neighbourhoods lend a calm aura to this otherwise commercial city.

The Mysore Palace complex is surrounded by several small and large restaurants which are ideal for breakfast. Mysore Masala Dosa and filter coffee will be a great option from any of these places.

Morning and Afternoon

1. Mysore Palace Complex

Building, Hindu Temple, Park

Begin your tour of Mysore by spending your first morning at the most iconic historical structure of Mysore, the Amba Vilas Palace, most famously known as the Mysore Palace. It was the royal residence of the Wadiyar dynasty and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore from 1399 to 1950. The first palace in this land was built by Yaduraya in the 14th century. When you have worked up an appetite, leave for lunch to Infinit Lounge Bar which serves some great food with good city views from the rooftop. The palace complex also houses 12 major Hindu temples of which the oldest was built in the 14th century and the last in 1953. They boast elaborately ornate gopuras and intricate carvings.

2. Jaganmohan Palace & Art Gallery

Art Gallery, Building

Once you have enjoyed the views within the Mysore Palace complex, head to another palace built and used by the Wadiyar royal family, Jaganmohan Palace. It has been converted into an art gallery and also serves as a auditorium for dance shows today. The Sri Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery housed within the palace boasts more than 2,000 paintings belonging to various Indian styles of paintings. Wrap up the day with dinner in a cave-themed restaurant, Gufha, famous for their Murgh Patiala and Reshmi Kebab.

3. Regional Museum of Natural History

Botanical Garden, Museum, Natural Feature, Park

Start day two with an early morning visit to Karanji Lake which is surrounded by a natural park consisting of a butterfly park and a walk-through aviary. The aviary is the biggest of its kind in India , with an artificial waterfall and two small water bodies. The Regional Museum of Natural History is located on the banks of the Karanji Lake with the beautiful sight of Chamundi Hills in the background. It exhibits include plants, animals and geology of the southern region of India. The Botanical Garden on the museum grounds has a collection of local trees and Ayurvedic medicinal plants.

4. Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum

Art Gallery, Museum

Next on the list is Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum, a very unique attraction in India. It is the brainchild of sculptor MN Gowri who is said to be the only woman sand sculptor in India. The museum is located on the road to Chamundi Hills and depicts nearly 16 different themes. The visitors are welcomed by a 15-feet-high sculpture of Lord Ganesha .

5. Sri Chamundeshwari Temple

7. Wellington Lodge

Building, Museum

A few decades back the dilapidated Wellington Lodge was repaired and converted into a museum and office of the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalay with the aim of preserving traditional Indian art and culture.

The courtyard is an open museum of terracotta sculptures and folk paintings and houses the National Museum of Mankind in the ground floor

8. University Folklore Museum

Museum, University

The University Folklore Museum is housed in the Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion of University of Mysore. The museum has a collection of 6,500 artefacts which were collected from across Karnataka. A section of museum is dedicated to performance arts such as Yakshagana and Kathakali, housing ornaments, headgears, and masks used in these performances. P.R. Tippeswamy, a folklorist, was the first curator of the Museum. The museum also exhibits Palaeolithic tools discovered during the excavations in Koppa district.

9. R K Narayan House

End the final day’s tour in Mysore by visiting R K Narayan House, which is a memorial dedicated to India’s beloved novelist R. K. Narayan . In 2016, Narayan’s residence was opened to the public by the government as a memorial museum dedicated to tell the story of his life and the life of his stories. He is the creator of the fictional town Malgudi and his characters resonated with Indian readers en masse. These stories were realist and narrated the daily trials and tribulations that made a villager’s life.

BEST TIME TO VISIT MYSORE AND HOW LONG TO STAY

We visited Mysore at the end of September when monsoon season is fast-approaching autumn. Although we did experience some stormy weather, it was mostly in the evening and early morning, leaving the days clear and pleasant to walk around in.

There are many attractions in the Mysore area, however, to cover the main ones will take you no more than 2-3 days . Mysore is also a popular spot for yoga retreats, therefore many visitors stay for up to a month embracing their inner yogi.

THINGS TO DO IN MYSORE

Here are just some of the top things we enjoyed doing during our time in Mysore:

1. TAKE A TOUR OF MYSORE PALACE

Mysore Palace is one of our top Instagram spots in India. (Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram here! ) Being one of the most famous tourist attractions throughout India, and rightfully the number 1 thing to do in the city. The palace has served as a royal residence since the 1400s, although the current structure was built in the late 1800s after the Old Palace was burnt down. The extraordinary architecture is said to be inspired by a mix of Rajput, Hindi, Gothic and Islam styles. Serving as a true reflection of the diversity of religions living together harmoniously throughout the city.

The internal tour of the grandeur palace was an experience that left us speechless. The exquisite detail and captivating artistry that would have gone into constructing the cities landmark is simply inconceivable. There are 2 ways in which you can choose to explore the palace. The first option is to pay the entrance fee and walk around at your own leisure, or it is also possible to book a guided tour. To explore the flourishing gardens that adorn the palace grounds is free of charge.

TIPS – Be prepared to remove your shoes and socks. There is a safe area where you can leave your shoes for a small tip. – Cameras are allowed to be used in all areas, however, you may be asked not to use your tripod. We entered the grounds on a number of occasions and only once were we asked not to use it.

Entrance Fees: Adults – 50INR Children – 30INR Gardens Only – Free

Opening Hours : The palace is open daily from 10.30pm to 5pm. Be aware that weekends get very busy.

2. VISIT CHAMUNDESHWARI TEMPLE

Chamundeshwari Temple is one of the oldest Hindu temples in the South of India. Situated on the top of Chamundi Hills, around 13km from the city centre, the original structure is thought to have been constructed in the 12th century. The remarkable architecture is truly awe-inspiring, and if you visit on a clear day, you can find panoramic views over Mysore.

We visited the temple early on a Saturday morning, which unknown to us at the time, is a religious day for Hinduism. Although we arrived before the temple had opened, there were already 100s of devotees awaiting to worship and make an offering to Shani. The god associated with bad luck. Despite the crowds, we were really grateful to have been a part of the spiritual ceremony. We made our offering of flowers, which you can buy outside of the temple for a small charge, and were even blessed by a Pujari – A Hindu Temple priest.

TIP – Cameras are NOT allowed to be used inside of the temple.

Entrance Fees : To enter the temple via the queue is free of charge, or you can pay 30INR for fast track entrance.

Opening Hours: Open daily from 10am – 5.30pm. Be aware that weekends are extremely busy.

3. TAKE A TOUR OF THE OLD TOWN

As mentioned before, Mysore is famous for a number of things including silk, sandalwood and incense, therefore it would be a shame to visit without seeing where it all comes from. There are work shops situated throughout the old part of the city, where you can see the artisans at work with the aforementioned materials. It is a fascinating insight into the meticulous attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship required for such delicate materials.

Although you may be lucky to stumble across these workshops on your own, it is recommended that you have a guide with you. We were very fortunate to meet a friendly rickshaw driver one evening, who also happened to hold an abundance of knowledge about the city. He offered to take us on a tour of the old town where we visited local markets, an incense manufacturer, a wood workshop, and a silk factory. It was a taste of the real Indian culture, and we loved every minute of it!

Fees : Price will depend on where you want to go but for a good price, you can contact our friend Mustafa on: (+91) 9845237691, our tour was approx 500 INR.

4. WATCH THE SOUND & LIGHT SHOW AT THE PALACE

This grand spectacle only happens once a week, however, if it works with your itinerary it is well worth sticking around for. Every Sunday & national holiday from 7pm, locals and tourists unite inside the gates of Mysore Palace for a magical show of light, sound & celebration.

The main event of the evening is the full illumination of the grounds. 98,000 balls of golden light, transforming the royal residence into a palace of hopes & dreams. The crowds cheer and dance as the alluring sound of Indian music radiates from a band on the forecourt, while a convoy of vintage cars and guards on elephants make a way to the front of the stage. The event only lasts an hour, but is sure to captivate you eternally.

Entrance Fees: It is free of charge to enjoy the light show.

Opening Times: Sundays and Public Holidays from 7pm – 8pm.

5. EXPLORE THE MYSORE BAZAARS (MARKETS)

Exploring the bazaars is one of the most cultural things to do in Mysore. Every day of the week, the streets of Mysore come alive with the hustle and bustle of the daily markets. Aromas, colours, tastes and textures are in abundance, attacking your senses in the most enticing way.

The most exciting markets are usually stumbled on by accident, hidden down mysterious alleyways, however, the most popular choice for tourists is Devaraja Market. Although this market is open every day of the week, we found it to be far better on a weekend, however, that also means it is far busier. Here you can buy a wide range of local produce from fruit & veg to streamed flowers and incense sticks to essential oils.

Opening Times: Open daily from 6.30AM to 9.30PM

6. WATCH THE MYSORE PALACE ELEPHANT MARCH

OK, we know this one is a sensitive subject, and we’d like to point out that we are by no means advocates for the use of wild animals to entertain. We are huge animal lovers, and the thought of anybody causing harm to these majestical creatures breaks our heart. However the Mysore Palace elephants play a huge part in the cities tradition and history, therefore how could we be the culture hungry travellers that we are without acknowledging this part of it.

As it happens, we actually stumbled upon the march by accident, as we hadn’t heard of it’s existence & just happened to be there at the right time. Every evening at 6pm , the palace guards line up with the elephants outside of the palace grounds, before stopping traffic with a march around the city centre. I’d like to point out that there is no charge for this , it is simply a tradition of the city, and a bloody beautiful one at that. The elephants that we saw looked far happier & healthier than any we’ve seen in so called sanctuary’s in SE Asia. And we were happy to have been in the right place at the right time to witness the occasion.

7. WATCH THE SUNSET ON CHAMUNDI HILL

If you like to chase sunsets, then the best place in the city to catch them is at the top of Chamundi hill. Here you can find panoramic views over the whole of Mysore, and when the weather is good, the majestical Indian sunsets are breath taking.

Another popular time for visiting Chamundi Hill is after 7pm, when the city of Mysore transforms into a sea of light. Just be sure you have a means of transport for getting back down the hill once it’s dark.

WHERE TO EAT IN MYSORE

Mysore is bursting at the seams with good restaurants, and we were fortunate enough to enjoy an abundance of delicious food during our stay there. Whether you’re Vegan, vegetarian, carnivore etc. you will have no problem satisfying your culinary desires.

Some of our favourite restaurants include Hotel RRR, Depth and Green and Pakva, you do not want to miss these restaurants!

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Please be sure to dress appropriately, no matter where you are in India. The rule of thumb is to keep shoulders, legs (below the knee is fine) and cleavage covered up. The shoulders and legs goes for men too, and in some circumstances cleavage as well!
Getting around the city is easy. Rickshaws (Tuk Tuks) are usually gathered around the tourist attractions, or easily flagged down on the street. Just be sure to agree on a price in advance to avoid any conflict at the end. Alternatively, you can rent a bicycle to get around the city. Check out this bike rental comparison site to find the best deal.
In all busy areas, be sure to be aware of pick pockets. There are known to be some professional scammers operating in the area. We use either a small padlock or protective cover on our backpack.
It’s useful to have a downloaded map of the area on your phone in case you find yourself in any tricky situations. We use MAPS ME and find it very reliable.

WHAT TO PACK FOR MYSORE

Unsure of what you might need to pack for your adventures in India? Don’t worry, we have got you covered. Check out our backpacker essentials, for a packing list of items that we carry with us on every adventure .

TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY

As travellers, it should always be a top priority to travel responsibly. We already leave a substantial carbon footprint just by flying to our travel destinations, so that’s even more reason to make a positive impact when we get there. There are many small steps you can take to becoming a responsible traveller, and we highly encourage you to educate yourself before travelling to India. Here are some things you can do to minimise your footprint:

1. Do not leave any rubbish on the ground: You will see a lot of rubbish on the ground in India, but that doesn’t make it ok to add to it. Bin your trash!

2. Limit your single-use plastic consumption: This is tough in India as we wouldn’t recommend drinking tap water even if it has been treated/sterilised. However, you can say no to straws and plastic bags. Take a reusable bag with you everywhere.

3. Respect the local culture: Be courteous of the local culture and act in such a way that leaves a good impression. Learn a little of the local language (hello and thank you is the minimum), greet the locals in a polite manner, and respect dress codes & traditions. We recommend carrying a Sarong with you to cover up where needed.

Embarking on Your Mysore Itinerary For 1 Day

Your Mysore day trip unveils a realm where cultural splendor and historical narratives blend to create an extraordinary experience. The journey begins with the divine ambiance of the Chamundeshwari Temple , with its towering gopuram gracing Chamundi Hills. As you soak in the spiritual vibes, the intricate Dravidian architecture speaks volumes of Mysore’s artistic heritage. The towering deity inside and the majestic surroundings make this spot unforgettable.

With spirits uplifted, next on your itinerary is the iconic Mysore Palace . Wrapped in history, this monumental edifice stands proudly, showcasing India’s royal past through its captivating blend of architectural styles. You’ll find each hall and chamber telling a story, each mural and sculpture whispering legends of erstie dignity and grandeur. Surrounded by manicured gardens, the palace is an epitome of Mysore historical architecture.

Take a moment to appreciate the panoramic views from Chamundi Hills , where the city unfolds before you in a delightful tapestry. Your eyes will be drawn to landmarks like the white-washed Lalitha Mahal Palace, standing in stark contrast to the verdant foliage, and the serene expanse of Karanji Lake. These vistas are a testament to the city’s marriage of man-made marvels and natural grandeur.

Visit Jaganmohan Palace, a treasure trove of art and a testament to princely Mysore’s culture.
Behold Lalitha Mahal Palace, a beacon of opulence and one of the most elegant Mysore cultural landmarks.
Explore the city’s vibrant markets and bazaars, pulsating with life and brimming with local arts and crafts.

Embracing each site on this route enriches you with a narrative that’s distinctly Mysore—an intertwining of magnificence, tradition, and nature’s beauty. By the end of the day, you’ll not just carry memories of scenic views, but a sense of connection with the cultural heartbeat of this historical city.

Midday Retreat: Finding Serenity in Mysore’s Natural Beauty

As you transition into the afternoon of your Mysore one-day tour, it’s time for a soothing interlude amidst the city’s verdant splendor. Your quest for tranquility can find its destination at the Brindavan Gardens, a breathtaking expanse that echoes the grandeur of the Shalimar Gardens. Here, symmetry and precision artfully converge within the terraced lawns, looking even more spectacular alongside the gardens’ pride—the Musical Fountain. This synchronized water ballet, set to the tunes of harmonious music, adds a rhythmic pulse to the naturally calming environment, making your Brindavan Gardens visit a highlight of Mysore tranquility.

A short jaunt from this formal grandiosity leads you to the placid shores of Karanji Lake. As part of your Mysore sightseeing, a nature walk around this lake becomes a wholly different experience—one that sings the praises of simplicity and the beauty of the natural world. Stroll under the canopy of trees and discover why it emerges as one of the most serene spots in Mysore. The lake serves as a sanctuary, not just for the myriad bird species that flutter and float over its waters, but also for visitors seeking a reprieve from the bustle of the city.

Whether you’re pausing on a bench beside elegant boulevards of flowers, or observing an egret glide gracefully towards the water, Karanji Lake nature walks are an ideal, unhurried counterpoint to the morning’s architectural pursuits. Both the garden and the lake afford peaceful discoveries and are inimitable facets of Mysore’s diverse mosaic of experiences—each offering you a space to reflect, rejuvenate, and bask in the natural splendor that Mysore so generously unfolds.

A Day trip to Mysore: City Guide

N estled in the heart of the southwestern state of Karnataka, at the foothills of the Chamundi Hills, India’s City of Palaces sits quietly. Mysore, or Mysuru, is one of India’s most beautiful and culturally rich cities with a whiff of history wherever one turns to.

With its 500-year-old history as a kingdom and a princely state, Mysore has a lot to offer to its visitors. From the most splendid palace halls to the blooming gardens, decorated art galleries, and so much more, Mysore can be the perfect retreat for anyone looking to go on a day trip.

One of the best ways to plan a trip to Mysore is to make a round trip from Bangalore. At a distance of 140 km from Bangalore, a road trip would be ideal for making certain stops and visiting the most important and beautiful places that this place has to offer. If we had to make an itinerary for a day, we recommend 4 must-see places that everyone should visit.

Jayachamarajendra Art gallery

When one plans a trip to any of India’s princely states, the one mandatory thing that is added to the To-do list is a visit to the native palace. Most of the royal residences in Mysore are now state museums. The gorgeous architecture and vibrance of these places make them a perfect stop to consider.

The Jayachamarajendra Art gallery was originally a second residence of the royal family. It was named Jaganmohan Palace and converted to an art gallery in 1915, during Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV.

Boasting some of the finest art displays in India, the art gallery houses a rich collection of national and international art treasures. It has a collection of over 2000 paintings of various styles and various artists, from international masters like P.P Ruben, Nikolai Roerich, Aless Caddy, and miniature paintings of Gunoy to Indian classics such as Raja Ravi Varma and Nandalal Bose. The first floor of the gallery displays the works of artists from Mysore. It is also home to Rembrandt’s few works, one of the greatest names in European art.

One of the most popular attractions of the gallery is The Glow of Hope, popularly known as “Woman with the Lamp” by S.L. Haldankar. This beautiful painting of Modern Indian art is as stunning as it is popular among art enthusiasts. Other displays of the gallery include an exotic collection of weaponry, rare musical instruments, and artifacts that remind the grand Mysore royalty.

Logistics: The best idea is to make the gallery the first stop of the trip to spend quality time here. The gallery is open every day from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and can be reached easily via auto-rickshaws and cabs. The KSRTC Bus stand and Mysore Railway station are within walking distance.

Mysore Palace

With a history of five centuries, the Mysore Palace is the official residence of the Wodeyar dynasty. This family ruled the erstwhile kingdom of Mysore. The palace is one of India’s largest palaces and one of the most important tourist attractions in the country, not to mention the state of Karnataka.

Henry Irwin, a British architect, was the designer of the palace. It was built by Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar in 1912 on the old wooden palace site that was broken down in 1897. I t was built and rebuilt over the centuries, and the final result soon won the title of one of the most extravagant palaces of the country.

The entry to the palace is no less beautiful, lined with Indian and European ceremonial sculptures. Another gateway to the main palace is the Elephant Gate, with intricate designs bearing a double-headed eagle’s royal insignia.

As a museum, the palace is a display of royal souvenirs, jewelry, royal clothes, and artillery – all of which were the possessions of the Wodeyars. The palace is known to have the largest quantity of gold items on display.

One of the most beautiful things about this palace is its illuminated view on Sundays (between 7-8 PM) and national holidays when 97,000 lights light up its entirety. The shining facade makes it a sight to behold, and hence, these are the times that one can plan the visit.

Logistics: An additional attraction is the 45-minute light and sound show that is conducted every day. In general, the palace is open from 10 AM to 5 PM every day. The easiest way to reach this place is a short car ride away from the Mysore railway station.

A short trip away via the KRS Road, located in the town of Srirangapatna, one reaches the Krishna Raja Sagara Dam. Built on the conjunction of rivers Cauvery, Hemavati, and Lakshman Tirtha, this dam is one of the most magnificent sightseeing spots on this trip. The dam was wholly funded by the ruler of Mysore in 1932, Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, after whom it is named. It was designed by the “father of planning in India,” Sir M. Vishweshwaraiya. He used a limestone and brick powder mixture (surkhi) as the building material.

Some of the most important features of this dam are: it is India’s first irrigation dam; it is one of the significant sources of irrigation for Mandya and Mysore; and a source of drinking water for Mysore and Bangalore city. The principal purpose of this dam is to ensure power supply to the Shivanasamudra hydroelectric power station. This dam is a supreme example of architecture and engineering, with a length of 3 Km and a reservoir of 130 Sq. Km. it is one of the largest dams in India. There are 18 gates and a height of 39 meters.

Logistics: The best time to visit would be d uring and after the monsoons. The water level can go up to 124 feet. The dam gates open to let the water flow through, creating a spectacular view, often creating a sound so loud that it can drown every other sound around. The place is open to visitors from 6:30 AM to 9 PM. The town of Srirangapatna is connected via rail and road to other prominent cities.

Somnathpur temples

Towards the end of the trip, when the sun starts setting and the feet start getting tired, one can find themselves in the company of a little more history. With Mysore only 35kms away, the last stop should be Somnathpur – where one of the most beautiful pieces of the ancient Hoysala architecture style can be found.

The view of the sun setting on the backdrop of the temples makes a stunning sight, thus bringing this trip of history and beauty to a fitting end.

The Prasanna Chennakesava Temple is one of the finest specimens of Hoysala architecture. Built-in 1268 by Somnath, a general of the ruling king Narasimha III. The temple sticks to the original Hoysala style – built on a raised platform, with three shrines with wonderfully carved peaks and a mandapa. The main sanctums have three exquisite idols of Keshava (now missing), Janardhana, and Venugopala. The whole temple is beautifully engraved with sculptures – every part of the walls are covered with figures of deities, gods, and goddesses from the Hindu Puranas.

Logistics: The ideal time to visit the temples is between October to March, but any time of the year is good to enjoy observing these temples. The timings are from 9 AM to 5:30 PM. This is best as the last stop for the trip as Mysore is only a car ride away and is also well-connected by trains.

Things to eat and shop

There are many things to do when one has to fill the time between this trip. The Mysore markets are a place to go to for their specialty silk, exotic sandalwood, and incense center. The city is a special place for authentic South Indian food from the many street food joints present because of its popularity as a tourist place.

Table of Contents

Interesting Facts

The world-famous Dussehra festival is lavishly celebrated every year at Mysore.
The city is the second most populated in the Karnataka state after Bengaluru.
The silk sarees, Pak (a sweet), and the sandal soaps you get in this place are named after the city itself.

Best Time To Visit

Although Mysore can be visited throughout the year, the best months to visit Mysore are the winter months, from October to February. The temperature is relatively colder and aids tourists in exploring the city without getting too tired.

Most people understand English and Hindi to a great extent, and you can get by for a basic conversation about destinations, prices, and more.

Network Availability

Prominent internet service providers, Airtel and Jio, provide 4G services throughout the city. The network is fast and reliable. So you wouldn’t have to worry about going AWOL or not being able to reach out to people over the phone or the internet.

ATM Availability

Since Mysore is a city, there are enough ATMs across the place. In fact, most shops and businesses accept digital payment via Google Pay or PhonePe. However, carry some cash with you in case you need it for emergencies or you’re going to a far-off location from the city.

How To Reach?

The nearest airport is the Mysuru airport (Airport code: MYQ, 12 Km). From the airport, a fifteen-minute drive by public transport or a cab will take you to the city’s center.

Mysuru Junction railway station (Station code – MYS) is the city’s main train station. This station is well-connected to many South and North Indian cities. Located in the city center, this is the cheapest and easiest way to reach Mysore.

Mysore district has good road connectivity. The government-run KSRTC and private buses also offer services to other districts and neighboring states. The intercity buses have a separate bus terminal and can take you to all the sightseeing places across Mysore.

Exploring Mysore

Buses are frequent, and locals use them all the time. Popular cab services like Ola and Uber are available in the main city for you to commute to different places. However, if you don’t want to be tied down to any of this, you can hire a two-wheeler to go in and around the city.

Where To Eat?

A few of our favorite restaurants include Original Hanumandhu Devi Mess, Since 1930, and Vinayaka Mylari. While you’re trying different dishes, do not miss the most popular sweet of the region, the Mysore Pak.

In fact, you can select the location based on the distance from the city center as well. So, booking a stay won’t be a hassle. Here are a few recommendations.

Chamundeshwari Temple

Start your day with the beautiful sunrise you can witness from the Chamundi hills. If you’re a spiritual being, the Chamundeshwari Temple here is a must-go place. Situated 13 km from the city, the Chamundeshwari temple is a popular temple over 1000 years old, dedicated to Goddess Durga, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati.

Royal families, pilgrims, and fanatics visit often to seek blessings from the Goddess. During Dussehra, grand rituals and ceremonies take place and transform the complete aura of the place.

Alternatively, if you’re not a spiritual person, the place has something for you as well. The intricate architecture and the quadrangular-style structure depict the classic Dravidian culture and are a sight to behold. Above and beyond this, the hill at 3489 m also offers a bird’s eye view of the complete Mysore city.

The well-laid motorable road leads you to the hilltop. The government-run KSRTC buses run every day for pilgrims and visitors. After you exit the temple, you can have breakfast and begin your descent.

Lalitha Mahal Palace

Residing at the foothills of the Chamundi hills, Lalitha Mahal Palace is another site you can stop by on your way back from the Chamundeshwari Temple. The Maharaja’s Palace is a two-storey structure that hosts important guests such as the Viceroy of India. The white color and overall architecture exude royalty and will leave you amazed.

Interestingly, the Palace is also a 3-star luxury hotel where people can stay, but access to visitors is restricted to the ground floor and the restaurant. The first floor is for residents only. Furthermore, the place is open only for certain hours, and you must pay an entry fee. You can check these out in the detailed blog .

St. Philomena Cathedral

The second-tallest church in all of Asia, St. Philomena Cathedral, has stunning symmetrical architecture. Built for European residents in 1804, the design has a Gothic vibe and seems to cater to the Europeans and their style of buildings. Every inch of the structure’s exterior carries overtones of panache and splendor. This includes stained glass windows, Corinthian columns, plastered niches, and more.

The church’s twin spires stand tall at a majestic height of 175 feet, where one cannot capture the full frame without using a wide-angle lens by standing inside the premises. So if you’re a photographer, ensure you carry the necessary equipment to capture the church in all its glory.

Mysore Palace

Also known as Amba Vilasa, Mysore Palace is the second most visited palace in the country. You get a glimpse of the aristocratic and noble life and can only imagine what it would have been like to live in such as mesmerizing place.

Every nook and corner is built with such precision that it makes you wonder how such a magnificent piece of structure was created by man in a time devoid of current technologies. We have created a comprehensive guide that describes the palace and its diverse facets, which can elevate your experience when you visit the palace.

This is the one place you must visit because, without this, your trip to Mysore would be incomplete. See this place for yourself and maybe try telling us about it because we can’t find the words to portray such a work of art.

Brindavan Gardens

A brief ride from the city will lead you to the evergreen Brindavan Gardens. Take a stroll around the park and witness perfectly groomed terrace gardens, fountains, and clean walkways. On the other side, you will find the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) dam. After dawn, you can cross the waterfront via a boat or a bridge and experience the music and light show.

Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, or Mysuru Zoo, is a conservatory for wild animals. The zoo offers exemplary welfare services for the animals. In addition, the place also conducts conservation breeding of endangered species, houses exotic animals from around the globe, and persistently improves the natural habitat of captive animals. The zoo also serves as a good educational experience for school kids. At present, the zoo is home to more than 1450 specimens comprising 150 species from 25+ countries.

Karanji Lake

Located beside the zoo, Karanji Lake is a clean spot that offers tired travelers a calm and serene atmosphere. A few activities inside the park include pedal or motor boating, bird watching from the watchtower, walking, watching colorful peacocks inside the peacock park, playing at the children’s park, and buying plants from the forest nursery, to name a few.

Buy Mysore Silk Sarees

Mysore silk sarees are famous among Indians and foreigners for their fine quality. Visit the Government Silk Factory, where you can witness the craftsmanship and the making of such sarees. The sheer skill involved will leave you baffled as you see artisans at work. You can also get a walkthrough of the entire weaving process, right from choosing the thread to finishing silk sarees. Apart from this, there is also an outlet where you can buy these sarees.

The Chennakesava Temple at Somnathpur is an architectural marvel and depicts Hoysala-style. The sculptures are minute, with intricate details depicting stories from Indian epics, ancient popular Puranas, and more. This 13th-century old temple still stands strong even today, but no poojas are performed inside the temple. Curious to know the reason? Read about Somnathpur in detail . Although it is slightly far from the city and is on the outskirts (35 Km from the city center), it is worth visiting this place.

Talakadu & Shivanasamudra falls (Optional)

Shivanasamudra waterfall - Barachukki, Gaganachukki falls

Video shows FedEx cargo plane land on its nose in Istanbul after landing gear fails

A Boeing-767 type cargo plane operated by FedEx ran into a couple of bumps and sparks as it attempted to land at Istanbul Airport in Turkey without its front landing gear Wednesday.

The cargo plane, operated by FedEx, was flying from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport, according to a statement by Turkey's Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu , when the pilot of the aircraft informed the control tower at Istanbul Airport that its landing gear had failed to open. The official said airport officials sprang into action and assisted the aircraft in touching down, while managing to remain on the runway. Emergency response, medical teams and necessary fire extinguishing equipment was also deployed on standby, Uraloğlu said.

Video footage from the landing shows the plane touching down on the runway before it tilts forward and starts dragging on its nose the runway creating a cloud of dust and sparks. It eventually comes to a stop with its fuselage touching the ground. As the plane comes to a halt, fire trucks douse the plane with water.

"With the successful guidance of our staff, the aircraft landed smoothly on its fuselage," Uraloğlu said.

No injuries reported

Two pilots were onboard the aircraft, according to Uraloğlu's statement, and were medically assessed after the landing. No injuries were reported.

The runway where the plane had landed was temporarily closed for all flights as multiple agencies gathered on site. A video shared by the minister shows crews and officials gathered around the aircraft while a fire truck and ambulance are parked on the side.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing, said Uraloğlu without going into further details into why the landing gear had failed.

Another Boeing plane issue? Don't fall for the headlines.

The freight aircraft involved in the accident is nearly 10 years old and was delivered to FedEx in 2014, according to a Boeing spokesperson. Following delivery, operators oversee ongoing maintenance for airplanes in operation. Reuters reported that Boeing 767 freighter is one of the most common cargo planes.

FedEx, meanwhile, in a statement to USA TODAY, said that the FedEx Express Flight 6268 was flying from Paris to Istanbul when it experienced an issue during landing.

"There were no reported injuries to our crew members," FedEx said. "We are coordinating with investigation authorities and will provide additional information as it is available."

While Boeing incidents have been in the news in recent months after a series of high-profile incidents, aviation experts maintain you shouldn't worry about flying .

“We don’t have to worry that there’s something systemically wrong with aviation,” Clint Balog, an associate professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, previously told USA TODAY.

Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever embrace notion of using charter flights for WNBA travel

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark already is one of the WNBA’s most recognizable players.

So when she made her first road trip last week, the league’s top overall draft pick had to adapt. Instead of loading her bag directly onto a plane and boarding, Clark found herself traversing the same lines and waits as everyone else at the Dallas airport — just like most of the league’s players.

It’s a hassle she wouldn’t mind avoiding on future trips and now league commissioner Cathy Engelbert is working on a solution.

One day after Engelbert told a group of sports editors that she’s trying to find regular charter flights for all 12 WNBA teams, Clark and her new teammates embraced the move.

“I think you just have to be aware of where you are,” Clark said after Wednesday’s practice. “You travel with security, which is nice. It’s just different from college where you put your bag on the plane, hop on the plane and then you’re off. But like (here) you’re waiting at baggage claim, you’ve got to go through the normal security with everybody else. For me, it was my first time doing it. It wasn’t terrible. I just went about my business and kept my head down.”

Clark went on to score 21 points in her pro debut , a 79-76 loss.

But her star power has only fueled a debate that took center stage last season when Phoenix Suns star Brittney Griner was confronted by a man who started asking questions as she walked through an airport. The incident became so heated that the man was tackled and law enforcement was called.

League officials called the man’s actions “inappropriate” and “unfortunate.”

It spurred a leaguewide debate over player safety with some veteran stars asking that league officials do more, including charter flights. And now, with one of the most heralded rookie classes entering the league, Engelbert wants to take action even if she doesn’t have a defined timetable for when it could happen.

Fever coach Christie Sides also remembered sleeping in an airport while working with the Chicago Sky because of several delays before the flight was eventually canceled. She said the team took a 6 a.m. flight and played later that night.

For those reasons, it can’t start soon enough for those who have been around the league for years — or for Clark, who has been driving WNBA ticket sales upward after spending her last two seasons at Iowa driving a substantial increase in television ratings.

“I’m thankful at whatever point that happens, that would be great for us. It will make recovery easier, it will make travel easier,” Clark said. “It just makes life a lot easier for a lot of people, but also it’s just something a lot of people have deserved for years and years.”

VP Kamala Harris will return to Wisconsin next Thursday, her fourth visit this year

Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Milwaukee next Thursday, May 16, her fourth visit to Wisconsin this year and the latest indication of the Biden administration's continued focus on the battleground state.

Harris will visit Wisconsin as part of her Economic Opportunity Tour, the White House said Tuesday, which highlights how the administration "has built economic opportunity, supported communities, and delivered historic investments for the American people."

Details of where Harris will speak in Milwaukee have not yet been released.

The announcement comes one day before President Joe Biden is set to make his fourth trip to Wisconsin in 2024 in Racine .

Biden is expected to highlight a massive increase in the scale of Microsoft's data center development in Mount Pleasant, an opportunity to contrast the failed Foxconn project supported by former President Donald Trump.

More: President Biden's Racine County visit to highlight huge expansion of Microsoft data center

Harris was in the state just over two weeks ago, when she announced new rules for nursing home staffing and rallied voters around abortion in La Crosse . She has also visited Madison and Big Bend this year.

While the administration has often visited the Democratic strongholds of Milwaukee and Madison, the Biden campaign has also focused attention on traditionally conservative areas like Waukesha County. Trump held his second rally of the year in Waukesha last week.

The latest Marquette University Law School poll of Wisconsin voters showed a tight race for the presidency, with 51% supporting Trump and 49% favoring Biden, well within the poll's margin of error.
