Mysore, officially known as Mysuru, is one of South India’s most elegant heritage cities, celebrated for its magnificent royal palace, broad avenues, traditional markets and deeply rooted cultural traditions. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Mysore, the city retains a graceful atmosphere shaped by royal architecture, historic temples, gardens and a long tradition of art, music and craftsmanship.
Mysore works beautifully as part of a private journey through Karnataka and South India. Explore the spectacular Mysore Palace, wander through the colourful Devaraja Market and visit Chamundi Hill for views across the city. The surrounding region also offers rewarding excursions to Srirangapatna and other historic sites, making Mysore an excellent cultural stop between Bangalore and the landscapes of southern Karnataka.
