Mysore Palace tour

• The three-storey palace rewards a slow walk around the outside as much as the interior, since the domes and towers read differently from every angle.
• The Durbar Hall is the grandest interior space, with an ornately painted ceiling and rows of columns, used historically for royal audiences and still used for the Dasara Durbar today.
• The Kalyana Mandapa, the marriage pavilion, is an octagonal hall with a stained-glass ceiling in a peacock motif — one of the most memorable interiors in the palace, though photography inside is generally not permitted.
• Outside, the palace grounds and ornamental gates are worth the extra half hour, particularly if you're staying on for the evening illumination.

• Private, knowledgeable guide through the palace
• Private vehicle to and from your Mysore hotel
• Help booking entry tickets in advance
• Timing advice around the evening illumination and Dasara crowds

Experience My India quotes this trip per person in INR after confirming your dates, hotel category and group size. The written quote names every hotel and inclusion, and nothing is charged until you approve it.

• Photography inside the palace interiors is generally not permitted, though the exterior, domes and grounds are fine to photograph freely. Shoes come off before entering the interior galleries, so wear something easy to slip on and off.

Know before you go

• The palace is illuminated with lights on Sundays, public holidays and throughout the Dasara festival, which draws large crowds if you're visiting in that window. October is Mysore's Dasara season and by far the busiest and most spectacular time to visit; the rest of the cooler months, roughly October to February, are more comfortable for general sightseeing.
