Be Picky Bengaluru: Selected Tips from Insiders
Purser Maite Hummel has always enjoyed visiting Bengaluru. But her special tip for the city is a trip to the nearby city of Mysuru, which attracts visitors with its magnificent buildings and award-winning desserts
About two hours southwest of Bengaluru, in and around Mysuru, two absolute highlights await visitors: the magnificent summer residence of Tipu Sultan and the stunning Amba Vilas Palace. From Bengaluru, a nostalgic train ride to the city takes you through a tropical setting and picturesque villages.
Mysuru is also world-famous for an award-winning dessert, the Mysore pak. These are square cakes soaked in sugar syrup and made with a good dose of ghee (the sacred Indian butter), cardamom, and chickpea flour. Guru Sweet Mart in Devaraja Market still uses the closely guarded original recipe.



Tip:
Explore the fascinating heritage of the kingdom of Mysore on a guided day tour that you can book via GetYourGuide.
