1. We visited Mysore Zoo a couple of days back. This zoo is world class. It is neat, clean and the upkeep of the animals & surroundings is extremely good. The animals are well fed and they look healthy. 2. We visited the zoo in the afternoon and most of the animals were outside the cages and visitors could watch the animals. 3. The full circuit within the zoo is ~ 4 Kms. For those who find it difficult to walk, there are electric cars to take them around. The entire trip takes about an hour. 4. You can see all the big cats, elephants, rhinos, hippos, bears, gaur, different types of monkeys, parrots & lots of birds ....... 5. The boards give you valuable information about the anmals. 5. I have visited this zoo after ages with my grandson and it was a pleasure going to the Mysore zoo. 6. Kudos to the zoo staff for their hard work & dedication in maintaining the zoo and taking care of the animals.
3. Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 589 reviews
Ranganathittu is a bird sanctuary that can be visited throughout the year by bird lovers. Easily accessible from Bangalore, enroute to Mysore, visiting this place is a great option for both children and adults. Visit early in the morning and hire a boat. November heralds in the winter migrants who stay put until March, adding to the already numerous varieties of birds you can see here.

A well preserved bird sanctuary that one can escape into, from the bursting cities and pollution. A soothing boat ride on the calm waters and the view of various species of birds flying, nesting, bathing, catching prey or just lazily perched on a branch or a twig is mesmerizing. Crocodiles, bats and tiny animals add charm to this nature's beauty. It is like winning a lottery for wildlife and nature photography lovers. The boats sail pretty close to most of the islands although, stepping on those islands is strictly prohibited. There are a few pathways and benches amid the green on the mainland, to either take a stroll or sit back and enjoy the chirping of birds and other pleasant sounds of nature. There are a few watch towers to enjoy the view if one is not hydrophobic. There is a souvenir shop, a small bird museum , a few food carts and clean washrooms. Entry fee for Indians - Adult: Rs.50/- Child: Rs.25/- Entry fee for Foreigners - Adult: Rs.300/- Boating Charges - Indians: Adult: Rs.50/- Child: Rs.25/- Foreigners: Adult: Rs.300/- Parking Fees - Bus: Rs.125/- LCV: Rs.75/- Car: Rs.30/- Motor Cycle: Rs.15/- Bicycle: Rs.5/- Camera charges applicable as per lens power.

Very nice place located on the seashore and breathtaking views from the top of hill and the Gopuram. The Gopuram(entrance) is 21 floor and we can go to 18th floor using the lift. There are 3-4 windows for enjoying the view of surrounding places. There is a big Shiva statue also just by the seaside. Beach is very close to this temple and have water sports available. The road is very good and is around 2 kms from Highway.

What an enthrilling, spectacular & an eye feasting experience one can get on the top of light house. I can still remember the view (attached pics) land on one side covered with coconut trees, beach and the water on the other end till.you can see. The best time to visit is from 5.30PM to 6.30PM when going to set and I bet cameras can't capture the real nature except you have to feel it. The fees is a mere 10/- per person and w0/- per video recording.
