Route: Mysuru → Ooty (Approx. 125 km)
The morning in Mysuru began with a calm and cozy vibe. Sunlight streamed through the curtains of our Earth Villa, and the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air — the perfect start to a travel day.
☕ A Relaxing Start at Earth Villa
We enjoyed a homemade breakfast prepared at the villa — a simple yet satisfying spread of toast, fruits, tea, and coffee. It felt refreshing to start the day with comfort food amidst nature’s peace.
After breakfast, we packed our bags, checked out from Earth Villa, and got ready to explore one of India’s most iconic landmarks before heading to the hills.
🏯 Royal Majesty: Mysuru Palace
Our first destination of the day was the famous Mysuru Palace, a grand architectural marvel that reflects the city’s royal heritage. The intricate carvings, colorful glass ceilings, and golden thrones inside the palace were truly mesmerizing. Standing in the grand courtyard, it felt like stepping back into the era of kings and queens.
The palace, officially known as Amba Vilas Palace, is a blend of Indo-Saracenic architecture and remains one of the most visited monuments in India. Don’t forget to catch the evening illumination if you ever visit — it’s breathtaking!
🍛 Lunch & Scenic Drive to Ooty
After spending a memorable morning at the palace, we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch before continuing our journey towards Ooty — the “Queen of Hill Stations.”
As we drove through the dense forests and winding roads, nature unfolded its beauty at every turn. The route passed through parts of the Bandipur and Mudumalai Forest Reserve, where we were lucky enough to spot a few deer, monkeys, and peacocks along the way — a thrilling experience indeed! 🦌🐒
🏡 Arrival at Casa De Damor, Ooty
By evening, we reached Casa De Damor, a private villa nestled amidst the misty hills of Ooty. The cool mountain air, the scent of eucalyptus trees, and the peaceful surroundings instantly made us fall in love with the place.
We settled in, enjoyed a warm cup of tea while admiring the valley view, and spent a quiet evening planning our next day’s adventures in this beautiful hill town. 🌿
