One Day Mysore Sightseeing by Private Cab
This one day Mysore sightseeing tour by private cab covers the best of the royal city in a single relaxed day. Your driver picks you up when you are ready and takes you up Chamundi Hills, through the Mysore Zoo and the grand Mysore Palace, across to the island town of Srirangapatna, and ends the evening at the musical fountain in KRS Brindavan Gardens.
You pay one clear fare per cab, not per person, for the day and our agreed list of places, with no kilometre counting. Start any time from 08:00 AM, straight from the station or after a slow breakfast, and finish any time before 09:00 PM. Fuel, driver allowance, parking and tolls are already in the fare, so you can enjoy Mysore local sightseeing by car without watching the meter.
How many places you see depends on your start time, your interests and how long you spend at each stop. Start early to cover the full list, or start later and enjoy fewer places at a gentler pace.
We have run Mysore sightseeing since 2013. The day order is planned around temple hours, palace crowds and the fountain timing at Brindavan, and the stops can be adjusted for your interests, the age of the people travelling and the day of the week.
