How to reach Mysore

← Mysore

Mysuru Junction

A dozen trains a day from Bengaluru, from the Vande Bharat down to a second-class seat for ~₹80. The station is a short rickshaw ride from the palace.

Best option

KSRTC coach from Bengaluru

The most forgiving option: departures every 15–30 minutes from Kempegowda Bus Station, no booking needed, and you leave when you are ready.

By car on the Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway

The new expressway takes 1.5–2 hours, but getting out of central Bengaluru adds an hour on a bad day. Worth it with luggage or with a family.

Mysore airport (MYQ)

Small and working: turboprops to Chennai and Hyderabad, around fourteen flights a week. Everything else comes through Bengaluru, 170 km away.

During Dasara in September–October transport and hotels are booked solid and prices roughly double, so plan the city ahead.
