This is a lovely Tibetan Monastery close to Mysuru or Coorg in Bylakuppe. There are monks praying in here so be prepared to observe in silence without disturbing them. There are lovely paintings on the walls and ceilings besides the huge statues of the Buddha and it's different avatars that are worth seeing here. The Tibetan refugees have been given this place to settle down by the Indian government ever since they fled their home country. It is a very peaceful atmosphere even with all the beating of drums and playing of traditional horns by the monks chanting their devotional hymns. A must visit place for sure if you are in the vicinity.

Can debris be beautiful? Yes. Architecture and archeological lovers, this place is a feast for you. Watch the precision in each and every minute state. Worth spending half a day here. If you come from Bangalore, visit this and proceed to Mysore. Please have your food and visit the place. There’s no good restaurants here.

I am sure most people visiting Mysore will without doubt visit this beautiful palace. It is truly magnificent inside and out with amazing grounds. If at all possible make sure you are in Mysore on a Sunday as the light show on Sunday evenings from 7.00pm until 8.00 pm is breathtaking with a wonderful atmopsphere.

It was built by Dalvoy Devraj in 1735 with brick, sand and stone in Gothic style.It has 51spans of 10 feet and before 1902 it existed as a road bridge ferrying bullock, camel and horse carriage traffic across the Kabini. A narrow gauge Railway line was being built from Mysore to Nanjangud in 1902 and the Railways used the arched bridge to connect it to the Nanjangud railway station. Trains ran on this bridge from 1902 to 2007. The last train to run on this heritage rail infrastructure was on January 17, 2007 when the Railways decided to put a stop to meter gauge trains and operate broad gauge trains. Since broad gauge needed a different alignment from narrow and meter gauges, a new bridge was built across the Kabini. The bridge, built in 1735, is now 283 years old and a Heritage Monument declared by the Government of India.
