The 10 Best Tours in Mysuru (Mysore), Karnataka

April 25, 2022 Darwin Bolte

The kings of the Wodeyar dynasty set the bar high for the southern cultural capital of Mysore. Ornate palaces and the Gothic St. Philomena's Church with its 175-foot spires pack a visual punch; local institutions keep Carnatic classical music and dance in the public eye. A prominent 11th-century temple sits atop 1,000 steps on the city's outskirts. Dress to the nines and party like a rock star in celebration of Mysore heritage during the lively Dussehra festival, held for 10 days in October/November.

I had booked the private tour of Royal Mysore with Five senses tours and we had Satish as our guide. It was an amazing day. Satish was a fantastic person with immence knowledge. He was also very caring and took very good care of us who were all first time visitors in India. Mysore was incredible and the palace is no less than Taj Mahal. We also saw other parts of this old kingdom like the old bazaar and few more palaces. The lunch was fingerlicking. Satish had suggested traditional Mysore meals and it was a great experience. Go ahead and book this whenever you are in India! Fully recommended.

Really enjoyed a fantastic tour with our tour guide Pruthvi. The tour started with the history and took in some great sights, including the palace, before moving to the market and beginning the food part of the tour. The history part was really well put together, not too much so that you’re overloaded, but enough to add colour the the places you’re looking at. Pruthvi was excellent at adding in little personal stories along the way which elevated it from good to very good. The food was excellent, a mix of the best street food Mysore has to offer. Never rushed, we are at our own pace and loved every bite from the different stops. The best review I can give is that when we return to Mysore, Pruthvi and Gully tours will be the first people we call.

The royal city of Mysuru known for its heritage and monuments is replete with rich tradition and is referred as the cultural capital of Karnataka. The city is also home to the famed Mysuru silk and a visit to the silk factory reveals the work that goes into turning silk threads into silk sarees. Chamundi hill is home to the mother deity of Mysuru- Chamundeshwari, and apart from paying obeisance to her, we also get a panoramic view of the city from this hill top. The vibrant and colourful Devaraj Urs market is a delight to stroll through with spices, incense sticks and flowers on display. A visit to the silk cocoon market in Ramanagar and wooden toy factory at Channapatana offers an insight into the small scale industries that thrive in this region. Note: Some of the tour attractions cannot be experienced on Sundays/ Public holidays as they would be closed.

Inclusions: Transport - Pick and drop off from a central location in Bangalore in a comfortable A/C car , All meals on the tour - Breakfast & Lunch, evening tea and snacks, An English speaking professional Tour Guide, All experiences mentioned in the itinerary

My family recently did a 3 hour cycle ride around Hesserghettq lake. Tej was an excellent guide- She was patient, kept us safe, really friendly and knowledge about the area. Everything was very organised and well planned. They provided great snacks and we stoped for coffee along the way, and ended with a much needed coconut water. The scenery throughout is beautiful and peaceful, going through little villages and passing lots of farm land. It felt like we had truly escaped the city for a few hours. I highly recommend the tour.
