Places to add with more time
If you book 12 hours or a second day, these fit well around the main circuit:
- Mysore Zoo: one of India’s oldest; closed on Tuesdays.
- Jaganmohan Palace art gallery and the Rail Museum: good for families with children.
- Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary (about 19 km): boat rides among nesting birds, near Srirangapatna.
- Somnathpur (about 35 km): the Hoysala Keshava temple, a quieter heritage stop.
- Melkote (about 50 km) or Talakadu (about 45 km) for temple visitors.
For a temple-focused day, the 12 seater tempo traveller page lists a Nanjangud–Somnathpur–Talakadu circuit.
Get the timing right in Mysore
- Palace illumination: the palace is lit with nearly 1 lakh bulbs on Sundays, public holidays and during Dasara, usually 7 to 7:45 pm. Plan Brindavan for another evening if you want both.
- Dasara (September–October): roads near the palace close for processions; your driver will drop and pick up from the nearest open point.
- Weekends: Chamundi Hills and the palace get crowded after 10 am; start early.
- Footwear and dress: temples ask you to remove footwear; the palace also asks visitors to leave footwear at the counter.
Which tempo traveller for a Mysore city tour?
City sightseeing involves many short stops, so easy entry and exit matters more than long-distance comfort:
- 6 to 9 people: the luxury tempo traveller at a fixed ₹5,499 for 8 hours.
- 10 to 12 people: a 12 seater.
- 13 to 17 people: a 17 seater, the most booked size for Dasara visitors.
- 18 to 26 people: a 26 seater.
- A premium van with individual seats: the Force Urbania.
