Mysore Sightseeing Circuit

Visit Mysore's distinct landmarks

Set off on a sightseeing circuit of Mysore, a city peppered with palaces – each telling a different story, each with its own unique style. The most regal amongst them is the Maharajah’s Palace, a lavish residence of the Wodeyar dynasty princes who ruled Mysore from the 14th to the 20th Century. Then continue onto the temple atop Chamundi Hill, with its iconic Nandi bull statue, the sacred vehicle of Lord Shiva, from where you can have sweeping views of the city below. End the trail at the colourful Devaraja market, an ancient market from the days of the king Tipu Sultan that today sells everything from fruits and vegetables to flowers and spices.
