When to visit
Mysore has a tropical savanna climate. Its 760m-high elevation cools things down, so that it’s warm (but rarely very hot) in the daytime, with mild evenings. Rains fall May–Oct. The winter (Dec–Feb) is dry, with a slight dip in temperatures. Popular travel months include May, Oct and Dec–Jan. A key event of the year is Dasara (Sep/Oct, dates vary), a 10-day Hindu festival with Mysore Palace lit up every night and a huge procession with dancers, traditional costumes and decorated elephants.
