A Day At Mysore

Mysore Trip

For a weekend trip, we went to Mysore. Mysore is around 160 Kms from Bangalore. On SH 17, 3 hour’s journey to Mysore, we can see Places like Ramanagara, Channapatna, and Mandya.

Srirangapattana:
A famous Ranganathaswamy temple is located at Srirangapattana. Ranganathaswamy temple is built by Ganga Dynasty in 9th Century. The entire town is enclosed by the river Kaveri to form an island. Kaveri Water from KS Reservoir flows from the city and joins at Sangam. It is believed that this place had a good name while Tipu Sultan & Hyder Ali was ruling.


Balmuri Falls: Balmuri falls is on the way to KS Reservoir. Its Really nice & worth watching .A 200 meters walk on the water is real nice & we feel so happy while walking.
Mysore Palace:

It is suited at the center of the Mysore city. It’s a residence place for royal family of Mysore, Wodeyar's .Dasara is celebrated very well in the palace. Museums, temples, Halls etc will make feel the royal life.
