At the hilltop, you’ll also see the huge Mahishasura Statue, a demon figure associated with Mysore’s legend. Enjoy panoramic views of Mysore city from the hill – a perfect backdrop for photos. After offering prayers and soaking in the view, descend the hill to continue your Mysore one-day trip by car.

The Mysore Sand Sculpture Museum showcases over 150 incredible sand sculptures crafted by artists, depicting themes from mythology and wildlife.

4. Karanji Lake & Aquarium: Take a mid-morning break in nature at Karanji Lake, a peaceful lake just 2 km from Mysore Palace. The lake is surrounded by a beautiful park that includes a butterfly garden and India’s largest walk-through aviary, home to dozens of bird species. Stroll through the aviary to see peacocks, hornbills, and other exotic birds up close. You can also enjoy a pedal boat ride on the lake’s calm waters. Adjacent to Karanji Lake is an aquarium (Fish Museum) where you can marvel at colorful fish and underwater life. This relaxing stop is a refreshing addition to your Mysore tour.

5. Mysore Palace (Afternoon): No visit to Mysore is complete without touring the Mysore Palace (Amba Vilas Palace). This stunning royal palace – an exemplary display of Indo-Saracenic architecture – was the seat of the Wadiyar Maharajas. Inside, you’ll walk through ornately decorated halls with marble floors, stained-glass ceilings, and carved wooden doors. Mysore Palace is one of the most famous tourist attractions in India, drawing over three million visitors annually. Don’t forget to admire the palace’s golden throne and the intricate paintings on the walls. (Note: The palace is especially magical if you catch it illuminated on weekend evenings, though that may be outside our day schedule.)

6. Jaganmohan Palace Art Gallery: A short drive from Mysore Palace is Jaganmohan Palace, a former royal palace now converted into an art gallery and museum. Here you can see a rich collection of paintings, including works by the renowned artist Raja Ravi Varma, as well as antiques, sculptures, and artifacts from the royal family’s history. The gallery offers a glimpse into Mysore’s cultural heritage, making it a worthwhile stop for art and history enthusiasts. The palace’s beautiful architecture and decorative interiors are an added bonus.

7. St. Philomena’s Church: In the afternoon, visit St. Philomena’s Cathedral, one of the largest and most impressive churches in India. Built in neo-Gothic style (completed in 1956), the church features 175-foot-tall twin spires that tower over the city. Inside, you’ll find beautiful stained-glass windows depicting biblical scenes and a peaceful ambiance. This cathedral was inspired by the Cologne Cathedral in Germany and is a major landmark of Mysore. It’s a great spot for architecture lovers and offers another angle to the city’s diverse attractions.

8. Brindavan Gardens at KRS (Evening): As the sun starts to set, your Mysore sightseeing taxi will drive you about 20 km outside the city to the Brindavan Gardens, located below the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) Dam. These terraced gardens are famed for their symmetric design, illuminated fountains, and lush green lawns. Stroll through the garden paths surrounded by blooming flowers and topiary works. After dusk, enjoy the musical fountain show, where water fountains dance in synchronization with colored lights and music – the highlight of Brindavan Gardens that you shouldn’t miss. The show usually begins around 6:30–7:00 PM (later on weekends), providing a magical finale to your day trip.

9. Local Shopping (Optional): If time permits, you may also stop by Devaraja Market or government silk shops in the city before concluding the tour. Mysore is famous for its silk sarees, sandalwood carvings, incense, spices, and sweets. At the vibrant Devaraja Market – a traditional bazaar dating back over a century – you can buy fresh spices, jasmine flowers, colourful powders, and authentic Mysore sandalwood products and silk sarees. It’s a wonderful way to experience local life and pick up souvenirs to remember your trip. (Note: Discuss with your driver if you’d like to include a shopping stop, so it can be accommodated within the schedule.)
