The royal city of Mysore is a study in contrasts, seamlessly merging tradition with modernity. Palaces and old markets are juxtaposed beside industries, IT companies, cafes and much else. Once a tranquil traditional city, Mysuru has rapidly evolved into an expanding urban hub bustling with economic activity.
For the day-tripper the city offers a gamut of choices — palaces to explore, markets to shop in, museums to peruse, libraries to browse, and gastronomical delights to savour. It is, after all, the cultural capital of Karnataka.
