About Mysore
A festival city
Dasara is Mysore’s biggest festival, with lights on the palace and a grand procession. Even outside the festival, the palace is lit up on Sunday evenings.
Clean and easy to explore
Mysore is known for being tidy and well organised, so it is a comfortable place for families and older travellers. The palace, gardens, zoo and market are close to each other.
Mysore works as a stand-alone heritage trip or as part of a longer Karnataka and South India tour. During Dasara and on weekends, plan early for hotels and timings.
