Known for its royal heritage, grand architecture, bustling markets and relaxed pace, Mysuru offers travellers a refreshing break from Bengaluru’s busy urban life.
Bengaluru to Mysuru in just over two hours
The MGR Chennai Central–Mysuru Vande Bharat Express (20607) connects KSR Bengaluru with Mysuru Junction, with the service departing Bengaluru at 10.05 am and reaching Mysuru at 12.20 pm.

Royal heritage and iconic attractions
For first-time visitors, the Mysore Palace remains one of the city’s major attractions. The magnificent palace reflects Mysuru’s royal past and draws visitors throughout the year.
Travellers can also head to Chamundi Hills for panoramic views of the city. For those looking to unwind, Brindavan Gardens offers a relaxed evening experience, with its musical fountain and illuminated surroundings adding to the attraction after sunset.
