By Air

Mysore(Mysooru) doesn’t get any air traffic. The nearest airport at Bangalore is quite well connected to the rest of the country and to some places abroad. The distance is very easily covered; there’s a host of rail and road options to choose from.

By Rail

More than four trains ply between Bangalore and Mysore(Mysooru) everyday. Mysore(Mysooru) is pretty well connected to the rest of the local area and it also has weekly connections to Chennai and Mumbai.

By Road

Mysore(Mysooru) is quite close to the southern border of Karnataka. Road distances are really more manageable from tourist places in northern Tamil Nadu and Kerala than to a place in even central Karnataka. There are buses plying all around, deluxe, super deluxe, express and super fast. It is also possible to hire chauffeur driven cars, which would make the longer journeys a little less never-ending and tedious.

Getting Around

You can hire a cab for the day to do the sights. It’s probably the most convenient and price-wise option. Taxis are not metered and a quite a bit of haggling is required for settling a price. Auto-rickshaws work out okay for short distances and cycle-rickshaws are good for slightly over 'walking distance’. Buses also take you around the city and to tourist attractions around Mysore(Mysooru).
