India GOHow to get around Mysore
Scooter from Royal Brothers
Mysore is the rare Indian city calm enough to ride in: flat, laid out on a grid and small. Chamundi Hill and the palace fit into one day easily.
from ~₹400 a day
Auto-rickshaws by the meter
The meters here are in regular use; just ask for one before you sit down instead of accepting a flat price.
~₹11 per km, minimum ~₹20–30
Uber, Ola and Rapido
All three work across town. Handy after dark and with luggage, though within the centre a metered rickshaw usually comes out cheaper.
KSRTC city buses
A dense network, and the one route worth knowing goes up Chamundi Hill: the climb by bus costs a fraction of a taxi.
Horse tonga by the palace
A loop around the palace quarter, and it is a ride rather than a way of getting anywhere. Prices climb during Dasara.
~₹300–400 for a loop
During Dasara in September–October transport and hotels are booked solid and prices roughly double, so plan the city ahead.
