Best Time to Visit Mysore

Thanks to its location in South India, Mysore tends to have a tropical climate. Summers can be quite intense. With the amazing palaces and beautiful monuments to see and visit, summer is not typically the best time to visit Mysore. Harsh sunny days mean that you will not be able to venture out for sightseeing. Here’s a look at the different seasons in Mysore and what they mean for travellers.

Summer in Mysore

While it is not advisable to visit Mysore in summer, if you do end up travelling here during this time, then step out at night to see the Mysore Palace. Summer nights are almost always pleasant and all the places that people like to see, the attractions like palaces are lit up most beautifully.

Temperature can go up to around 30 °C, so do wear light and cool cotton clothes. Since most people prefer not to visit during the summer months of April to June, you might find accommodation at lower prices during this time.

Monsoon in Mysore

Many people consider the best time to go Mysore is in the monsoon. From the months of July to September, Mysore receives a lot of rain. The temperatures are usually between 20-29 °C. The rain freshens the weather fresh and cools things down. There is lush greenery everywhere and a cool breezy wind which makes travelling around the city comfortable and a pleasant experience. Visiting various historical monuments at this time is a great idea.

Winter in Mysore

Winter is the best time to visit Mysore. The temperature can go down up to 15 °C and it is extremely cool and pleasant. This is the best time to explore the city, visit the various monuments and enjoy the sights. Since winter in Mysore lasts from October to March, it’s a great time to be in the city to enjoy visiting the various temples and forts. The best part is that Dasara and Diwali also fall during this time and as a result, the city is lit up beautifully. Dasara is indeed a celebration that should be witnessed in Mysore to see the grandeur and opulence. But do note that this a popular time to visit the city and hotels won’t be easily available.
