Today was sightseeing day. We had a busy time starting early in the morning. First, we headed to the Shri Chamundeshwari temple on the top of the Chamundi Hills that overlooks the SDM-IMD campus. It was a cool morning and the top of the hill afforded us some spectacular views of the city. After returning and grabbing some breakfast, we visited the spectacular Mysore Palace before heading to Srirangapattnam to see Tipu Sultan’s summer palace, his fort, and the bird sanctuary. Then, we went to the KRS damn and the adjoining Brindavan gardens. On our way back, we stopped back at the grounds of the Mysore Palace to see it lit up. It was like a fantasy land and a sight to see.
It was a long day, but quite fun-filled. The hard part was traveling long distances in non-air-conditioned vehicles. It is not the temperature that bothers me but the constant blowing of exhaust fumes, dust, and smoke on your face. At the end of the day, my slightly scratchy throat was raw and I could feel congestion filling my chest.
