Mysore Vacations
One of the top tourist destinations in India, Mysore was a royal capital from the 14th century until the 1940s, and is known as "The City of Palaces" to this day. A scenic setting at the foot of the Chamundi Mountains, numerous ornate temples, and many nearby lakes and parks add to the appeal of a vacation in Mysore. This city is also a renowned yoga center, attracting enthusiasts from all over the world.
Major Attractions
One of the most visited tourist attractions in Mysore, and a major landmark of the city, is Mysore Palace, home to the royal family who ruled the Kingdom of Mysore for 600 years. Visitors can tour the palace complex for an up-close view of its architecturally spectacular marble domes, towers, and arches, its ornate rooms, 12 Hindu temples, and expansive gardens. Mysore Palace is just one of many palaces in the city. Others of note include Jaganmohana Palace, which is now an art gallery, and the summer palace, Rajendra Vilas. Discover the flora and fauna of Southern India at the Regional Museum of Natural History, set scenically on the banks of Karanki Lake. The Mysore Zoo, one of the oldest zoos in India, is a top destination for families. Car rentals in Mysore make it easy to visit attractions outside the city, such as Shivanasamudra Falls—one of the largest waterfalls in the world—and Nagarhole National Park, where safari tours might give you a glimpse of Bengal tigers and elephants.
Recurring Festivals and Events
