When you’ve checked off the palace and zoo from your list, a trip to the hills is in order. Located 13 km east of the city, exuding a mystical aura, the Chamundi Temple sits on top of a serene hill. Admire the tall statue of Mahishasura, take a photo of the imposing Nandi bull {a monolith statue}, seek the blessings of goddess Chamundeshwari or enjoy a birds-eye view of Mysore city.
Over 1,000 steps will lead you up to the peak, but that’s only for the strong-willed and ever stronger limbed!
