Mysore is one of the nearest weekend getaways for Bangalore corporate workers. Masses head out of the city over the weekend can reach Mysore in less than 3 hours via bus and train. There are frequent daily trains and buses among the cities to make it easier to escape to this heritage town. With personal vehicles and private car, you might take slightly longer. But, you would never need more than 4 hours.

After you reach Mysore, you can even walk-in the hotels. This could be a little challenging during the travel season – winter. It is relatively quick and easy choice during summers. Yet, winter is the best season to enjoy your weekend anyway. However, as the rush of weekenders from Bangalore is on rise, it is best to book Mysore weekend package before you step out. It is just a two minute step with the online travel portals, right?

Your weekend can include a visit to Mysore Palace, Brindavan Garden, Chamundi Hills, Jagmohan Palace, art gallery, St. Philomenas Church, Datta Peetham, Mysore Zoo, Karanji Kere, Jayalakshmi Vilas Masion Museum, Folk Art Museum, National Museum on National History, Rail Museum and ...
... Melody World. These palaces and castles reflect the rich cultural heritage of the city.
