Mysuru
Mysuru carries its royal past with real elegance — the illuminated Mysore Palace at night is one of South India's most memorable sights. By day, the city moves at an easy pace between palaces, gardens and bustling markets selling silk and sandalwood. It's a comfortable, well-connected city with everything from heritage hotels to budget stays, making it ideal for families and first-time visitors who want culture and history without a demanding itinerary. Come around Dasara and the city is at its most spectacular.
