First Date Ideas in Mysuru: Places Locals Love
Mysuru is regal, relaxed and fragrant with sandalwood and jasmine. It's also the perfect size for a slow first date.
The palace
Mysore Palace by day, and if you can, on an evening when it's lit up with thousands of bulbs (usually Sundays and public holidays).
Views
Drive or climb up Chamundi Hills for a view over the city.
Markets and food
Wander through the colourful Devaraja Market, then share Mysore pak and a dosa.
Gardens and lakes
- A walk at Karanji Lake.
- The musical fountain at Brindavan Gardens in the evening.
Art and history
The Jaganmohan Palace art gallery, and a later trip to nearby Srirangapatna.
A safe first date
Meet somewhere busy, arrange your own travel both ways, and tell a friend where you'll be. A short video call beforehand is the easiest way to check someone is who they say they are.
