Mysore and Coorg #2: Day 1 – Mysore Sightseeing, Mysore, India

Mysore is approx 185 Kms and 3.5 hrs drive from Bengaluru airport. The drive is smooth once you escape Bengaluru traffic.

The route has multiple outlets of Cafe Coffee Day and a local chain Adyar Ananda Bhavan AKA A2B, for short breaks. Adyar Ananda Bhavan serves North and South Indian veg. food. In the morning, they serve only South Indian breakfast. Prefer this for good food, ample parking space, children play area and relatively cleaner loo options.

Hotel Ruchi the Prince was our accommodation for the next 2 days. Post check-in formality, lunch and a couple of hours of rest, we were all set to explore Mysore.

We started with the Mysore Palace to catch a glimpse of the lifestyle of maharajas. You can explore on your own or take an audio-visual guide to get more details of various points of interest inside the palace. Palace illumination on every Sunday and on all public holidays from 7 PM to 7:30 PM provides a good photo opportunity.

Next stop was Mysore Sand and Sculpture Museum en route Chamundi Hills. This artistic museum houses more than 100 sculptures based on various themes like religious epics, fairy tales, history, wildlife, culture etc. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
