About the trip
Bangalore, Karnataka's capital, is the usual onward point from Mysore for flights, work and city visits. The new Bangalore–Mysore expressway has made the drive quick and smooth, bypassing the old towns. Travellers who have time stop at Srirangapatna for Tipu Sultan's summer palace or at Channapatna for its lacquer toys. The city's parks, palace and markets can fill a relaxed day.
What to see in Bangalore
- Bangalore Palace
- Lalbagh Botanical Garden
- Cubbon Park
- Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace
- ISKCON Temple
- Srirangapatna and Channapatna (on the way)
