Good to know
🐘 Bandipur road: The forest stretch is closed to traffic from 9 PM to 6 AM — we cross in daylight both ways. No stopping or feeding animals inside the forest.
🪪 Karnataka entry: Mysore is in Karnataka: interstate permit, border tax and tolls are billed at actual cost. We re-check entry rules before you travel.
🏰 Palace & temple: Shoes are removed inside the palace — carry socks. Chamundi temple: modest dress; queues are long on weekends and festival days.
🏨 Your stay: You book one night in Mysore; near the palace is easiest. Your driver's night allowance is in our price.
