Paradise India: Mysore (Karnataka)

Mysore is now currently being visited by many tourists than before because of the recent developments in the city. There are some IT giants who made this place as a major hub for software and service delivery. There are so many attractions in Mysore which most of the people love to visit on weekend breaks. Mysore is only 140 kms from Bangalore so many people visit Mysore as a day trip and then return back to Bangalore. The Bangalore to Mysore is a top class Highway route where the techies enjoy this road by traveling in Bike or by Car as a day out. In this route, green scenic view and many hotels which help you to fill your green thirst and to fill your stomach. Other than this road way, there are also frequent trains which help you to travel Mysore from Bangalore or from anywhere in

India

. The temperature and rainfall are very moderate so that Mysore can be enjoyed in all the season times. I had been to Mysore more than 5 to 6 times just as a weekend break.
