Travel Tips
  • Carry a light jacket with you, no matter which month of the year, as the wind can be slightly chilly. Otherwise it's advisable to wear light cotton clothes.

  • It also helps to carry an umbrella because sudden showers are common.

  • Though Mysore is famous for sandalwood and its products, there are many fakes in the market. So make sure that what you are buying are originals. Same goes for silk saris.

  • To avoid any confusion buy from a government emporium or a government-authorized shop.

  • Save some time for the excursions, as they are interesting and can be rewarding.

  • The Karnataka cuisine is distinctive and at least one meal should be devoted to it.
