2016 June – Mysore-Bengaluru Family Outing

We went for long overdue family vacation to Mysore and Bengaluru in first week of June (2016). There was uncertainty/doubt whether we would be able to get this break as well but finally we could make this memorable trip. We enjoyed Mysore more than Bengaluru as former is clean, nice and more friendly city than later.

As we had only 2 nights at each place to make full use of the opportunity, we took Mysore and Bengaluru Darshan Trips so as to cover maximum tourist attractions in minimum time. While Mysore Darshan trip money, we thought was well spent, Bengaluru Darshan trip was disappointing as we spent/wasted time in picking up other tourists, an hour’s stop at some small silk shop and crazy Bengaluru traffic. However on last day, our ride in Namma Metro ride from Majestic till Baiyappanahalli and back gave us hope that in time to come, at least Bengaluru traffic would be reduced as more and more people will use metro as it’s network expands to cover more and more parts of the city.
