Referred as the cultural capital
of South Karnataka, Mysore is well known for the festivities that take place
during the 10 day Dasara festival. The Amba Vilas Palace or Mysore Palace, the
centre of the Dasara festivities, is a major tourists’ attraction of the city. The adjoining Brindavan Gardens, where a
musical fountain show is held every evening, the wildlife sanctuaries and the
bird sanctuaries surrounding the city need no mention as wildlife enthusiasts
flock in large number. Overall, Mysore city is one of the best tourist’s destinations in the South part of the country. On November 1, 2014 Mysore was official
renamed as Mysuru.
Apart from being a tourist
destination, the city of Mysuru is traditionally home to industries such as
weaving, sandalwood carving and bronze work. Alongside the traditional
industries, Mysuru has emerged as the second best destination for information
technology in the state of Karnataka after Bangalore. The city hosts couple of
big IT wings and often working professionals keep moving in and out of the city
for weekend. Students who get placed
from reputed institutions to big companies lead to Mysuru for training but with
very limited public transport system from other cities one will find difficult
to reach Mysuru. CoYatri, the new age inter-city carpooling platform is here to bring a relief to travelers, who
fail to get a reservation and are worried about high fares. CoYatri connects
travelers with car-owners travelling alone. This helps them to share a ride as well
as travel expenses. A traveler can find a car with empty seats effortlessly
while car-owner need to bother about his/her wallet which traveling is no more
a hassle now. The 723 kilometre journey from Hyderabad to Mysuru
takes around 11 hours’ along the National Highway number seven
