Mysuru Dasara is one of those occasions when a familiar city feels completely different. The Palace glows with thousands of lights, the streets become part of a huge celebration and the famous Jumboo Savari brings the festival to its grand finale. If you have only one day to experience Mysuru Dasara, you need to plan differently from a regular Mysore sightseeing trip. In 2026, the Jumboo Savari will...

When choosing a holiday destination, most travellers start with the same questions: What are the famous places? How many attractions are there? How far is it? But tourism is about much more than checking attractions off a list. A destination becomes memorable because of its people, food, culture, landscapes, stories and experiences. Sometimes the moments travellers remember most aren’t even the ones they planned. This World Tourism Day,...

How far can ₹10,000 actually take you from Mysore? You don’t always need a huge travel budget to escape the city for a couple of days. With the right destination, sensible transport choices and a little planning, ₹10,000 can cover a surprisingly enjoyable trip. But there is one important question: where should you spend it? A ₹10,000 budget can look very different depending on whether you’re travelling alone,...

Wayanad is one of those destinations that makes you feel like you’ve travelled much farther than you actually have. From Mysore, the journey takes you towards Kerala’s Western Ghats, where forests, misty hills, coffee and spice plantations, waterfalls, caves and scenic viewpoints replace the busy city landscape. But Wayanad is not a destination where you can simply pick five attractions from Google and expect them to fit neatly...

A trip to Coorg doesn’t always need a long holiday. If you’re staying in Mysore and have only one free day, you can make a memorable trip to Coorg (Kodagu) with an early start and a carefully planned route. Known for its coffee plantations, misty hills, waterfalls and scenic landscapes, Coorg offers plenty to explore. The challenge is that the district is spread across a large area, so...

Mysore is one of those cities where you can experience royal history, beautiful architecture, local food, culture and relaxing green spaces all in one trip. But when you have only one day in Mysore, deciding what to see — and what to leave for another visit — can be challenging. Should you start with Chamundi Hills? How much time should you spend at Mysore Palace? Where should you...

A great holiday doesn’t begin when you reach your destination. It begins weeks before you leave home. Booking your tickets and hotel is only part of the preparation. Documents, transportation, weather, packing, activities, and even small details like charging your devices can affect how smoothly your trip goes. The easiest way to avoid last-minute stress is to prepare in stages. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, weekend getaway,...

Booking a travel package can make a holiday much easier. Instead of arranging transportation, accommodation, sightseeing, and other details separately, travellers can have several parts of their journey organised together. However, not every travel package offers the same experience. Two packages may look similar in price while having significant differences in accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, meals, inclusions, and flexibility. Choosing a package simply because it has the lowest price...
