Day 1

Yesterday I was thinking to do first ever solo trip in my life ,So there were lot of places in mind to start with.So finally i choosed to go with Mysore ,which is having decent weather .barely 24 hours before the trip. And that was all the planning I did

Saturday Morning at 6 am boarded -16231/Mayiladuthurai - Mysuru (Thanjavur) Express (PT) from Bangalore and it took 2.50 hrs to reach Mysore around 8:30 am

Once i stepped out of Mysore railway station decided to eat breakfast along the way. Visited A2B which is near to railway station .Ordered idly and masala dosa downed with filter coffee and had it . idlys were nice and masala dosa was too tasty .

Chamundi Hill

An Hour drive in AC Bus (Take Route no 201 from Mysore satellite city bus stand) , was just beautiful indeed, as we go through the hill, we could see the beautiful city view below, the scenery was breathtaking . As we arrive the Chamundeshwari Temple. We can seethe statue of Mahishasura with a sword in his right hand and cobra in the left is definitely worth clicking a picture. During the darshan it gets really crowded(especially Saturday and Sunday), however, when i arrived it was not a big ques,I went inside the temple within half an hour and completed Lord chamundeshwari Darshan and came out side of temple. Then i went to see Nandi Statue, which is about 15ft tall.We have to walk down 1000 steps to reach the Nandi Statue .For me, it took a bit easy way out and walked downhill those 1000 stairs. Nandi Statue is beautiful and worth visiting .

Mysore Palace

"The magnificent cosmos is a palace that has the sun and the moon as its lamps and the stars as its candles; time is like a rope or ribbon hung within it, on to which the Glorious Creator each year threads a new world"

'Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit'

Brindavan Garden

The Brindavan Gardens is a garden located in the Mandya District of the Indian State of Karnataka. It lies adjoining the Krishnarajasagara dam which is built across the river Kaveri. The work on laying out this garden was started in the year 1927 and completed in 1932. Visited by close to 2 million tourists per year, the garden is one of the major attractions of Srirangapatna.The garden is maintained by the Cauvery Niravari Nigama (Cauvery Irrigation Department), a Government of Karnataka enterprise.The garden is open to the public and an entry-fee is charged. The garden also has topiary works (sculptures of animals created by clipping shrubs), pergolas (shaded passageway covered by creepers) and gazebos.The main attraction of the park is the musical fountain in which bursts of water are synchronised to the music of songs.
