The Mysore palace is a beautiful heritage of India that is a must visit! The exquisitely designed interior is a marvel to see and experience! It's opulence is at par with any other palace worldwide. Do go and see it if you haven't already. Visiting at Dussehra time is even more worthwhile as the entire palace is lit up in the evening and you get to see the whole city of Mysore decorated! Loved it!
We went on Oct 2023 Dusshera weekend and it was really crowded.
Car parking was issue as there was very limited place.
Tickets Management was mess. You need to wait in line even after purchasing combo ticket for aquarium, snow world and mirror maze.
Aquarium was decent with respect to fishes.
Snow world was very fun but they should have organized better as they know that it will be crowded during dusshera.
Mirror maze was very average.

Place was good for kids but it should have been more organized and structured.
Car parking is paid even after paying huge amount for tickets. Tickets are high on weekends and holidays.
This place is ok ok type 🙂.. It's mainly for kids.. kids are gonna enjoy it at this place. Ticket prices are at a bit higher price. We booked 3 tickets for around Rs560. There is an option to feed the fish for this extra charge. At this they have a combined ticket option for aqua + snow + maze for Rs 450 each person.

All together It was a good experience. The lighting was mesmerizing. On the other hand it was over crowded. Management needs to work on how to handle such a crowd. Need to have proper barricades at least at the shoe counter. Ticket price - Rs100 adult. The lightning on the beautiful palace will appear at 7:00pm.
"Aqua World is a fantastic destination for both aquatic enthusiasts and families looking for half day out. The facility has an impressive collection of marine life, from colorful tropical fish to much more. The exhibits are well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, providing a glimpse into the fascinating underwater world. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, offering informative insights during feeding session. The highlight for us was the mesmerizing tunnel, where you can walk through a glass enclosure surrounded by marine creatures. The ticket price for the experience is well worth it. Aqua World is a great place to learn, be entertained, and gain a deeper appreciation for our oceans and their inhabitants."🦀🪸🐠🐟🦐
It was a very good experience and I suggest all the parents to take their children and they would love it here. There are different kinds of fishes and the ambiance is really good but the cleanliness could be a bit better.

Good collection but need to have someone to explain as most of the things are personal to the king's family it needs a bit of explanation for others to understand, an audio tour will be a good addition to build interest

This place a gem!
It is quiet, well maintained palace and the museum offers a very homely feeling whilst making us travel through history about the palace. One has to get into the University premises to visit the museum. Once reached, it gives a feeling of an abandoned palace but later one realizes that everything is kept inside. It will take around an hour to see everything in the museum. Totally advised to visit the place and try to understand how and where the royals lived!

It is a museum, so if you are interested in historical things, you can go for it.
Also this place is huge, and I loved most the interior design and crafts. A great place for photos too.
In any case, it's worth a visit.
There is a ticket to go inside the museum like inside the palace but you can roam freely and click photos, without tickets as the place is huge .
Good view
But quite risky to stand on the rocks
No charges
Awesome place to have a panoramic view of mysore city. They will charge you 20 rs and need to be paid in cash. You can click some photos and view the city with binoculars. Make a small stop while coming down from chamundi hills. Worth a visit !
One of the best spots in the city, to enjoy & spend some quality and fun time with friends & family.

There are numerous types of fishes in different setups, with their best attraction being the walk through aquarium.
There is also a food stall near the exit to dissipate your hunger.
Entry ticket was Rs 199 per person, which I found to be bit over priced.
One of the must visit place in Mysore, very old and lively arts are talking old culture of Karnataka, king's family lifestyle we can feel from there....
It's strictly ok. You get some nice sunset sky views from this point. There is only one spot from where the view is visible so if there is a lot of crowd then it will be difficult for you to enjoy the view for very long.
Even the night time view with the city lights is very ok.
Worth it for a one time visit.
Place is good....it's just an aquatic amusement park for children...tickets are reasonably priced too, 300 and 150 for adult and child (5 to 12 yrs) respectively.
Parking can be an issue on weekends. We had to park at a huge ground about 1/2 km from there...
There are tickets available for snow house and magic glass house too at the same counter, so you can buy at one go.
The place is beautiful..... Its breath taking.... The Drive to the point... The view of the city below.... The contrast if green mysore from the climb up in the evening to the lit up mysore while coming down at night.... The place is filled with many many stalls and eateries..... And the foot fall of people makes the place even more colourfull
It's a very devotional and peaceful place.No words to say about chamundeswari Amma it's so adorable ,even security people didn't force us to move during darshan,after coming out from there out side lord Siva and Maha Vishnu idols are also there.
City view from the top of the hill is extraordinarily beautiful,we don't have good camera so we couldn't capture best pics
We stayed in chamundeswari guest house it's just behind Mahishasura statue.Early morning it's very cloudy couldn't see what is there in 50 mitres and very cold also .
One major point is after 7.30 pm meals aren't available most of the shops are closed but there're few food shops.Only tiffins, snacks and tea, coffe etc are available
Chamundi Hills is a prominent landmark in Mysore, Karnataka, India. Atop this hill stands the Chamundeshwari Temple, dedicated to the goddess Chamundeshwari, an incarnation of Goddess Durga. The temple is a revered pilgrimage site and a symbol of Mysore's rich cultural heritage.

Perched at an elevation of around 3,490 feet (1,060 meters), the temple offers stunning panoramic views of Mysore city and the surrounding landscape. The temple's architecture is a blend of Dravidian and Hoysala styles, featuring intricate carvings and a majestic gopuram (tower).

Devotees and tourists visit Chamundi Hills to seek blessings, and the climb to the temple can be done by a series of steps or by road. It's a popular destination during the Navaratri festival when grand celebrations take place.

Chamundi Hills and its temple are not only a religious site but also an integral part of Mysore's identity, attracting visitors with its spiritual aura and breathtaking vistas.

The Folklore Museum at Mysuru University is a captivating window into the rich tapestry of India's cultural diversity. This modest yet intriguing museum offers a unique opportunity to delve into the traditions, art, and folklore of the region. Located within the Mysuru University campus, the Folklore Museum is easily accessible to both students and tourists. Its convenient location makes it a worthwhile stop for those interested in exploring the cultural heritage of Karnataka. For students and enthusiasts of folklore and anthropology, this museum is a valuable resource. It offers an educational experience that helps visitors gain a deeper understanding of the customs, rituals, and art forms of Karnataka. The well-curated displays are accompanied by informative descriptions that enhance the learning experience.
An exhilarating and enjoyable experience. The meandering serpentine roads are well maintained and provide a thoroughly enjoyable ride to the top and back. Parking arrangements at the to top are excellent and commendable.
It's a must visit and well maintained Bonsai Garden. Lots and Lots of varieties of Bonsai Plants. One of the must visit places for Nature Lovers.

Entry fees is 25 Rupees each person and well justified as per maintenance and care taken for the Garden ☘️🌱🌿

Entrance Fee: The entry is free.
Visiting Time: (i) 7:30 am to 2:00 (ii) 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm (iii) 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm – The Chamundi hills houses the Sri Chamundeswari Temple which is open from 7:30 am to 9:00 pm every day, while it closes during lunch time and at twilight.
Visit Duration: The visit duration is estimated to be an hour or two.
if you are planning to reach the summit of the hill, by the stone stairway, ensure that you wear proper footwear. Carry your water bottle with you.
The best place in Mysore for a peaceful and enchanting experience is undoubtedly Chamundi Hill. Standing atop this majestic hill, you'll feel an overwhelming sense of tranquility that makes you feel too happy to put into words. From this vantage point, you can view the entire city sprawled out before you, its vibrant beauty contrasting with the serenity of the hill. Chamundi Hill is a must-visit destination for anyone in Mysore, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to those seeking both spiritual solace and breathtaking vistas.
Beautiful place. The place seems to be crowded. The best timing is in the evening, where you can watch the sunset with a great top view. Car parking space is available (with parking fee). There are mini fancy shops near the temple where you'll get bangles, dolls, stationery items etc.
It's a great place to visit. So many bonsai Plants. Neat and clean. Well arranged and supporting staff. Entry free Rs 25. Kids free.

Mysore View Point: A Glimpse of the City

- Distant Cityscape: Mysore View Point offers a panoramic view of Mysore city from afar, providing visitors with a unique perspective of its urban landscape.
- Limited Attractions: While the view is undoubtedly captivating, Mysore View Point doesn't offer extensive attractions or activities.
- Quick Visit: A visit here typically lasts around 5-10 minutes, making it an ideal stop for travelers seeking a brief but scenic break.
- Visual Treat: Mysore View Point primarily caters to those who appreciate a good view. It's perfect for a quick photo opportunity and a moment to soak in the city's distant charm.

The palace's grandeur and intricate detailing left me in awe as I explored its majestic halls and opulent rooms.

It's not just a palace; it's a time machine that transports you to a bygone era.The staff's dedication to preserving and sharing this cultural treasure is evident in their informative guided tours. They provide valuable insights into the palace's history and significance.Mysore Palace is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Mysore. It's an experience that will leave you with a deep appreciation for India's rich heritage and architectural brilliance.
I had a truly divine experience visiting the Mysore Chamundeshwari Temple. The stunning architecture, intricate carvings, and rich history of this sacred place left me in awe. The spiritual ambiance and the breathtaking panoramic view of Mysore from the hilltop were unforgettable. It's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a deep cultural and spiritual connection.
One of the tourist attractions spot in Mysore apart from Mysore palace. During weekends it is very crowded.
The zoo is very big. Almost all animals are there. Kids can enjoy their whole Sunday over there.

Also the place is very greenery and eye soothing. A must visit place in Mysore.
You have to pay 20 rupees per person to use the binoculars

Palace is like a magical time machine in the middle of Karnataka, India. It's a stunning building with lots of intricate designs that tell stories about the past. Inside, there are beautiful rooms and a special hall called Durbar Hall that's really impressive. When the sun sets, the palace lights up and looks even more amazing. The gardens are pretty too, and the people who work there are really helpful. If you want to see what a real palace looks like and learn about history, Mysore Palace is the place to go. It's like stepping into a fairy tale!

It is a Beautiful palace well maintained and managed showing all rare and precious painting sculpture ,furniture and gift received by royal family. There are very large paintings on the walls of palace. Original gold paintings on the wall, columns and roof of the palace, beautifully carved wood work. It is very nicely maintained . G
uide explain each and everything in detail .
A must watch place, Lot of wild animals including giraffe 🦒 was there. White tiger 🐅 and lions are the best area.

Entry ticket timing 8.30 AM to 5.30 PM (Park closed on Every Tuesday)

Have to walk 4KMs around the zoo.. Not advisable to go with children below 3 years. Please bring kids cycle to roam around the zoo.

(+) Food available at the end point of zoo.

(-) No proper management on Battery cars, It should be preferred for Old peoples and ladies with kids, but Zoo management not allocating properly. People fights for battery cars, when we visit the zoo..
Car parking was very far from zoo..

Thanks
This is beautiful palace . It’s was very nice at night because of lighting. You have to reach place before 5 to enter inside the palace but Until 8 clock they allow to enter premises but you can expect huge crowd inside . Inside there were a beautiful temple also there it also will close by 8 PM .
The route to the hill is awesome. The parking area is too well managed. VIP line is 100 and other one is free. But time is 3hrs overall for both lines. Get some local guy give that guy 1000 they will get you inside the temple from shortcuts. Very crowded on weekends never visit on weekends. Better visit on weekdays. Try to take 1200 steps to reach the temple if you believe on God that much rather than taking the vehicle till the top.
Well maintained and clean. The palace is really beautiful with a big garden type area in front. It looks more beautiful at night with all light's decorations. Worth visiting. Though try to buy tickets online in advance, especially during weekends. Try not to go there in summer as it gets really hot inside.
It’s a wonderful place with wide collection of animals which are taken care really well. Almost all of them have a name 😊
The parking space is huge and well managed. Inside also all the staff is guiding and you will enjoy everything especially kids will love the place too much.
Be prepared to walk almost 4 Kms when visiting the zoo although battery operated vehicles are available.
This place is a massive let down, if you’re expecting to see some big fish, please don’t go here.
You’ll probably see more or the same variety of fishes in a local shop.
The experience and value for money is utterly low, you’ll feel dissatisfied for sure.
Where as if your intention or purpose is to just take your kids and show them around, then it’s probably fine.
There were few sections with 360 degree view with a good amount of fish.

Visited last weekend with friends. For the palace they will charge 100 rupees/person and accept only cash payment.
For the light show in the evening 120 rupees/person.
Mysore Palace is a stunning architectural masterpiece that exhibits the splendor of Indian royalty. This is a place where visitors will be amazed by its intricate detailing, stunning domes, and beautiful courtyards, leaving them in awe. The palace has a great deal of history and cultural significance. The main highlights is the stunning evening lighting, where thousands of lights illuminate the palace, turning it into a magical view. Seeing the lighting ceremony is a must, as it brings the palace to life in a captivating way.
A paid parking lot is available.
What a wonderful art gallery it is ,they maintaining very well and they have 1500 paintings of raja ravi Varma and king wasiyar family photos since centuries, beautiful 2 to 3 hours time you can spend over there!
Went to Chamundi temple,crowded ..about this view point ,they had binoculars for Mysore view..I didn’t use that ,bcse I had a telescopic lens with me…was fortunate to watch light show from there ..attaching photo taken from long distance
You can have a very nice view of the Mysore city from this place which is on the way to Chamundi hills.
Good place to visit either early in the morning or in the evening.
There is a watch tower with telescope where you can rent the telescope for ₹20 for ~2 min.
Visited on a Sunday morning. Ticket fee is Rs. 100 for adults. Entered quickly with no waiting/queue for ticket purchase.
Didn't really expect much visiting a zoo as adults. However, we did end up enjoying every bit of the 3 hours spent in the zoo. The variety of animals and bird species with details of each mentioned in a visible and informative way, was quite good.
The place is well maintained with all facilities/amenities available.
Total walking distance is around 4km. You can opt for an electric buggy if you cannot walk (extra Rs. 200 per person)
They have a restaurant somewhere mid-way through the zoo. Food, snacks and Beverages are available. Quality and price is decent.

Recommended to visit in the morning, as it gets quite hot in the afternoon and also must animals go inside the shelter or are inactive post noon.

Overall a must visit for people of all ages visiting Mysore.
Wonderful experience of being with nature and our safari driver was so interactive and knowledgeable who shared more information about forest. Weekend definitely crowded, be prepared. Kids' strollers are better if travelling with young ones. Thumbs up for the administration department. Staffs were all cooperative. At last butterfly Park, don't miss it. Spend time in every section to enjoy more. Than you
Mysore Zoo: A Wildlife Sanctuary with a Vibrant Array of Animals and Bird. It is a captivating wildlife sanctuary, housing a diverse range of animals from around the world. The sight of majestic African elephants, graceful cheetahs, towering giraffes, powerful tigers, regal Asiatic lions, playful chimpanzees, intelligent orangutans, and enigmatic jaguars creates an unforgettable experience. The zoo's collection of birds also impresses with their vibrant plumage and enchanting melodies. Amidst the natural beauty, the zoo is well-maintained, providing a clean and comfortable place for all its inhabitants.
Twenty rupees for viewing the city, and the binoculars is timed for 80 secs which i felt was sufficient for me . The system of binoculars was nice, theres a coin inserted and a trigger lever is pushed which sets the timer. mysore palace, lalithmahal, golf course, water channel, zoo , almost everything is visible from this point and the thing has auto focus, so for 80 secs , all those things can be viewed without needing to have much technical skills. You will get an amazing view of Mysore from this point. Pay 20 rupees for the telescope and get a clear view of Mysore
They have collection of artifacts of the era of Wadiyar kingdom. Huge paintings of the then King, Royal Family, Darbar of King and few British officers of that time (including Lord Dalhousie). Photography is restricted. Nice collection but not preserved properly. Entry ticket is ₹60.
Prefer scooty or bike
Too good.. best time to view is before 8am

I had an absolutely enchanting experience at Mysore Palace! The intricate architecture and vibrant colors left me awestruck. Exploring the history and culture within its walls was truly captivating. The knowledgeable guides added depth to the visit, providing insights that enhanced my appreciation. The grandeur of the palace, especially illuminated at night, was a sight to behold. A must-visit destination for anyone seeking a glimpse into India's rich heritage.
Ticket Rate Adults RS 100/- 5-12 year Rs 50/- less than 5year Free

The zoo is spread over an area of 157 acres and is home to a variety of animals, birds, and reptiles.

Best zoo I have visited. The place is well maintained with a lot of green cover. However you have to walk 3.5km to watch all the exhibits.
Nice view point were we se Mysore city fully
Awesome place to visit. There are few bonsai plants from 1942 as well. Very well organised and whole premise is swanky clean . 5:30pm is the closing time and they strictly follows it
Not able to go inside this as it closes by 5:30 pm. We visited the Shukavana which is just beside it. It's also really good having different varieties of parrots. Even you can take some picture with those parrots (They charge around 300 per parrots for the bigger one).
Great place to visit especially if you have kids..My toddler loved the place.
The maintenance could have been better.

For kids below 5 its free however if you have a tall toddler/kid better to keep a soft copy of birth certificate otherwise they will measure there high in the high chart and might ask you to take a ticket for them too..My 2.8 year was taller then the High chart they had placed to measure the high for kids below 5..If we dint had birth certificate they would have made us buy tickets for her too..
The garden is filled with multiple bonsai trees. An entry fee of 25 rupees is a bargain given the amount of various species of trees which are maintained in the park.

There is a ramsethu floating rock in the same garden. Don't miss it.

Great palace to visit on weekends from Bangalore. You will enjoy it. 😊

Things to remember before you visit.
1. Opens at 10am.

2. You can buy tickets online or offline.

3. You need to have some change money, around 10rs. (Need to keep shoes outside the palace where they charge 4rs for 2 pairs.
🟩 You need to enter the palace and inside the palace they give you bag you can keep your shoes.)

4. You get to do 1 round inside the palace so, go slow and enjoy the every bit piece of the arts and architecture. ♥️

5. Parking is available for 2 Wheeler or 4 Wheeler. Charges are 20rs or 2 Wheeler and 40rs for 4 Wheeler.

Beautiful palace 🤩 you need to visit once in life time 😬♥️
Must visit the temple if you visit Mysuru. Loved the peace & vibe of the place. There is proper multilevel parking for 2 & 4 wheelers. 3 types of tickets available to enter the temple- 100/-,30/- & Free tickets. Though whatever ticket you'll buy, one should be prepared to be in queue for at least 1-2 hrs. Worth visiting!!
This garden is exquisite. It is very clean, tidy and rich. Bonsai is a traditional art of growing mini trees and it is absolutely splendid. I loved all the plants exhibited here and would like to have them all in my apartment!
Beautiful bonsai garden in Mysore. You can find bonsai which are many years old. I appreciate the patience and hardwork that goes in making a bonsai.
This garden was mind blowing. I'm surprised how they managed to take care of so many 30-40 years old bonsai.
Do try going in early hours in the morning or evenings. The place is calm serene and has a generous amount of fresh air.
One can easily spend minimum 2 hours and explore this place. The garden is maintained very well.
Entry fees is only 25/- per person
Pay 25/- and enjoy with that nature unlimited.
They even have a rock of ramasethu bridge.
This is my favorite place in Mysore. After the burning down of the Mysore palace, the royal family used to live here for a few years. Here are famous paintings of famous painters of India. Some painting are by foreign artists aslo. Here is the National Award winning picture titled 'light of hope'. Many paintings look different if viewed from different angles. Apart from this, there is a music room with instruments from all over the world. This is a three storey building.

Besides, there are unique items made from ivory, silver, porcelain, bronze, crocodile skin, etc which was used by royal family. If you are interested in art and history then don't visit this palace without a guide. 50/- is the ticket. The museum is open from 8.30 am to 5 pm.
Went for Darshan as early as 7 but still it was queued up. They charge entry from ₹30 onwards fro Darshan.

Also if you want faster Darshan you need to book special tickets a day early which starts from ₹250..
Very calm and serene place. Ticket price for adults is INR 60. they accept only cash. We have to remove shoes before entering the museum. Photography is not allowed so Don't bring cameras. Plenty of parking in the place and same shops to buy souvenirs. Inside you can expect paintings, crafts in bronze and ivory.
This place is very neat and well maintained. One must visit this gallery to see paintings and antique pieces. There are plenty of hotels available for accommodation and a very good pure vegetarian restaurant is there just opposite to this gallery. The king and family lived when Mysuru place was burnt and when this new palace was constructed. Walkable from City bus stand. Entry ticket is there for a nominal rate.
It is an awesome hill. We planned to visit on weekend and glad to see the road. The construction done for road till almost top hill is marvelous. There were 1008 stairs to reach to temple and now there are a few stairs and there are local vendors shop on both sides of stairs.

Parking of bike and cars available with charges. Paid toilets are available. We enjoyed aerial view with telescope to see Mysore city night view. No proper food joints at the top.
Temple is beautiful. Usually there is rush during weekends. You can drive almost up-to the temple. From the parking it is short walk to the temple. There are lot of food vendors to sell snacks and other items. There are monkeys as well. They seem to be friendly. You can take up stairs as well, but usually driving up is better.
The viewpoint tower is now closed as the entry is blocked... Beautiful serenic view of other side of hills
The animal collection at Mysore Zoo is extensive and diverse, offering a fantastic opportunity to witness a wide range of species up close. From majestic tigers and lions to graceful giraffes and playful primates, the zoo boasts an impressive array of animals. I was particularly impressed by the spacious enclosures that provided a natural habitat for the animals, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

The conservation efforts at Mysore Zoo are commendable. It was heartening to learn about the breeding programs and research initiatives aimed at preserving endangered species. The zoo's commitment to wildlife conservation and education is evident through their various awareness campaigns and educational programs. Kudos to the staff for their dedication and passion in this reg

This museum is located within the Mysore University campus and entry to the museum is free. They have great collection of leather puppets and yakshagana accessories. There are two other museums within the Jayamahal Palace - an archeology museum and a mansion artefacts museum. All these museums give a sneak peak into the palace interiors.
Wonderful view...
A cool view of Mysore can be seen from here.
From here you can see the horse riding ground and many big buildings including the Mysore Palace.
Parking is a small problem..
The best time is evening and morning

This a excellent piece of art museum that captures our history and literature. I captured all the details of our civilisation and has decent collections.
It is sad that I was the only one visiting the place despite it being free entry.

Note that you are not allowed to carry mobile in the museum.
Amazing! One of the most popular museum in Mysore. Photos are not allowed here . Could not take pictures inside the palace. Great quantity and quality of the art. Paintings, furniture, historical items, art objects. Excellent job! We taken 2 hours to cover . Overall the place is very good .🙏😊
You will get an amazing view of Mysore from this point. Pay 20 rupees for the telescope and get a clear view of Mysore palace.
I do suggest you visit that night time, during the day time it feel like it's just a free space......well it's just my feelings if I say so, night time the lighting is just breadth taking and the cool air really chills you. And I suggest everyone to visit on deepavali festival time.
The art gallery is so good. Artworks inside the art palace are well maintained and in good condition. So many beautiful handmade artworks to see and other things also from the past. Photography inside the art gallery is prohibited. Great place to visit in Mysore.
Hey, you gotta check out this place! It's a bonsai garden and I've never seen anything like it before. There's even a tree that's been here since 1901. Not exactly topiary, but still amazing to see. Plus, there's an aviary next door with a bunch of parrots and macaws. They're in cages which kinda sucks, but at least the cages are huge and the birds seem well taken care of. You can't take pics in the aviary though. Here are some from the bonsai garden!
This place will make you feel that you are in a bonsai garden in Japan this place will satisfy your carving of Japanese culture.
Okayish with few small shops to eat, not a great view.
Its most beautiful Sunset point nearby Mysore. Pleasant climate & such beautiful view point, have to go by steps to rich this location but u will feel the joy of long walk after reaching the location and having beautiful sunset. Watching sunset during winter season will be real fun.
We went on Saturday and started our journey by 8:30 am and reached the top of the hill at 10:30 pm . I would say buy tickets for temple darshan before it's so crowded at weekends .
The place is good with so many stalls to shop.
You can enjoy the ride to the hills and it's so satisfying.
Carry water bottles with yourself.

Youngsters will find it very boring. But it's a nice place . Clean and well maintained . Then don't allow photography or vediography inside. There are three different sections within this building out of which one is folklore museum. No entry tickets needed it's free to visit just enter in and out time and few details. You will have to submit your mobile phones to the incharge as it's not allowed inside the museum.

They charge Rs 20 for binocular for 80 sec. It’s worth viewing.
The view point is just amazing. By standing here, you can see the spectacular view the Mysore city. You can find the view point at the 900th steps. Totally worth climbing all those stairs for this view. You can also buy fruits and cool drinks from the 600th step.
Depends on the time you go, otherwise you won't see anything
Never explored this angle of Chamundi Betta before until one of my friend showed this.. Best place to sit and relax at the evening times.. It's around 900 steps if you walk from down in the steps and around 100 steps down if you walk from top.. Do visit this place if you are around evening time..
Sucks the life out by the you climb up. Suffocating levels of vehicle going very slow up the hill. Not for people who love leisure, laid back attitude...

Beautiful palace. Visited for the first time. Beautiful designs and unfortunately we couldn't see the view when the beautiful lights were on. Make sure to know the timings when they on the light. On Sunday they have it for one hour I guess from 8-9. Ticket price is 100/- per head

One of the finest place in Mysore for Art lovers. Age-old handicrafts, antics and Royal artefacts are on display in a royal mansion. A beautiful mansion housing the Museum is place to visit and enjoyed. It is in the Mysore University campus some 4 km from the Mysore Railway Station.
This is the best place in mysore.
When ever I visit mysore visiting chamundi hills and watching sunset/sun rise at this view point is mandatory for me.

We can see whole mysore city and city lights during evening and night. Although you are not allowed past 7 at this view point.
A place for a perfect sunset. If you are visiting chamundi temple then do visit this view point. A peaceful and perfect place for a beautiful evening. Most of the tourist don't know about this place and the way to the viewpoint is bit confusing, do ask any local people about the view point they can help you. Also do visit during rainy season the view is better that time.

This museum is inside the University of Mysore. We reached on Sunday and learnt that it's closed on Sundays. But the beautiful yellow color will win your heart. It's a hertiage building and can be a beautiful spot for some amazing pictures. Loved spending time there
