Mysore Palace Complex

Begin your tour of Mysore by spending your first morning at the most iconic historical structure of Mysore, the Amba Vilas Palace, most famously known as the Mysore Palace. It was the royal residence of the Wadiyar dynasty and the seat of the Kingdom of Mysore from 1399 to 1950. The first palace in this land was built by Yaduraya in the 14th century. When you have worked up an appetite, leave for lunch to Infinit Lounge Bar which serves some great food with good city views from the rooftop. The palace complex also houses 12 major Hindu temples of which the oldest was built in the 14th century and the last in 1953. They boast elaborately ornate gopuras and intricate carvings.
