Mysore City
Overview of the destination
Mysore is the cultural capital of the Karnataka state and is thronged by many visitors all round the year. Many visitors travelling from Bangalore to Hill stations and wildlife sanctuaries prefer taking a day or two stay at Mysore to checkout its Palace, Zoo and Brindavan Gardens.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
The Mysore Zoo is a must visit and one of the best Zoos in India, having Giraffe's, Zebra's, Gorilla and many more such exotic creatures from around the world. Mysore Palace is magnificent with amazing carvings and good architecture. Photography is prohibited from inside however pictures of the outside palace view can be taken. One cannot miss out the Brindavan Gardens and the musical fountain. The light and music show begins at 7 p.m. Mysore is famous for its Sandalwood items and silk sarees. The New Karnataka Cottage Emporium ( at Mysore Hotel Complex) has a lot of variety and has fixed prices and good offers. Veg Kourt on Shri Harsha road offers good Punjabi Food (Jain preparations were also available). Hotel Mysore Dasaprakash at Gandhi Square serves authentic South Indian Food.

Activities & things to do
Eco-friendly Battery operated cars are available to take a round of the Zoo. Santosh -The tall man waits outside the Brindavan Gardens offering a photo opportunity of him with you for Rs.10/-.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Polythene bags are strictly prohibited at the Mysore Zoo if you by chance happen to carry it u can transfer your contents to Paper bag provided by the zoo authorities. To reach Mysore from Bangalore A/c Volvo buses are your best bet, they charge around Rs.200/- and run almost round the clock. We took a bus at leaving Bangalore at 11 p.m. Auto Rickshaws and Horse drawn carriages are the best mode of transport for travelling in Mysore.
