Places to visit in Mysore

A beautiful garden adjacent to the Krishnarajasagara dam, Brindavan Gardens is famous for its musical fountains, botanical park, and boat rides.

Perched on the Chamundi Hills, this ancient temple is dedicated to Goddess Chamundeshwari, the patron deity of Mysore. The panoramic view of the city from the hilltop is an added attraction.

An ideal spot for bird watchers, Karanji Lake is a serene water body that houses a butterfly park and a walk-through aviary.

An epitome of Indo-Saracenic architecture, the Mysore Palace is a stunning marvel that stands as a symbol of the city's royal heritage. The palace is especially mesmerising during the Dasara festival when it's illuminated with thousands of lights.

One of the oldest zoos in India, Mysore Zoo houses a wide variety of species from around the world. A must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts.
