Certainly one of the best places in Mysore.. Driving all the way up to the hill is thrilling. When we went, it was drizzling just a bit and the evening view of the city is breath taking. Can enjoy the fresh air and quietness on top of the hill. The road are bit tricky so be careful while driving.

Chamundeswari Temple is one of the well maintained temple in Karnataka state. Fridays and Tuesdays temple will be bit crowded, other days it will be not much crowded. A panoramic view of the city is seen from the top of the Chamundi hills. You can see the race course, the Lalitha Mahal palace, Mysore Palace, Karanji and Kukkarahalli lakes. At... More

Like other temples, always good to go for the INR 100 express ticket, but I expected a bit more here - too many stals and vendors outside, and inside everything seemed a bit hectic

well, if you are there and don't know what to do, could be funny to visit it, but don't justify a trip to visit it.

The temple is sacred and well maintained. The only problem we faced is we had to park car and climb steps of around 100- 150 which was tiresome in the Sun.
