On 1st jan we planned to go to Mysore, we started here in Bangalore at 11 0'clock and got into Mysore bus around 12:30pm. We thought Mysore is every near to Bangalore like around two hours journey, but it took more than three hours and we reached there at 3:30 pm. As and when we got down we had lunch and started searching for room. After searching for one hour finally we settled in one lodge and we freshed up in one hour and came out by 6 pm.
Our plan is to see Palace in lighting's so we reached there at 6:15. For our bad luck, the palace is opened till 5:30 pm for visitors. We thought we were screwed on that day. While entering into Mysore, we saw one church and with no second thought we decided to go there. That church is St.Philomena church, where the movie Amar-Akbar- Anthony was shooted. The walls of church were very tall, u will notice the artistic work and it is very beautiful. After we roamed around the city for almost like two hours by watching people, road and all. Fortunately we saw another entrance of the Palace with wadyar statue in front and some temples, actually palace had three gates this is one of them. It was really superb and amazing, from this view it is so beautiful. I was really happy to be there at that time. The lights of palace were turning off around at 10 pm and we came back to room.
Next day, 2nd Jan we decided to make it worthful, we woke up at 4:30 and came out by 6 am. Our first place on list is Chamundi temple and straight away we went to city bus stand. we went to bus stand by walk, during that we thought it is good to settle down in mysore. The roads were really big and the whole city is around the palace. You will definitely find platforms on every road and you will notice the artistic work everywhere. we got bus to chamundi hill and after darshan me and Sunil went to zoo. Madhu and nag went to Mysore Infosys DC.
Around, 9 am me and sunil entered into zoo, it was really superb i didn't expect so much. I'll say Mysore zoo is far better than Bannergatta National Park in Bangalore. Yaar, u can see tiger and all very close in this zoo, where in BNP you need to pay 140 bucks and time waste for safari. Sunil was so happy because first time in his life he went to Zoo, that to such a big one. I am really happy for visiting zoo. We came out of the zoo, waiting for a bus to go to Palace. But this bugger sunil made arrangement for horse cart. I felt shy at first and later i decided to go by cart. As my first experience in horse cart, i really felt thrill.
We four met at Palace and saw the palace in 2 hours, we came out by 3pm. In Palace u will definitely notice the Main hall, Bronze leopards and big Darbar facing the main entrance of the palace. We came back to room and started journey for Srirangapatnam!! Finally places to see in Mysore : - 1) Chamundi Hill/Temple 2) Mysore Palace 3) Mysore Zoo 4) Brindavan gardens 5) St.philomena churuch Its always better to hire a cab to see all the places in one day
