When to visit Mysore
High and low season in Mysore
October through February is the most popular time to visit Mysore. The weather is dry and comfortable, making it easy to explore the Mysore Palace, botanical gardens, and outdoor markets on foot. Demand peaks around the Dasara festival in October, so securing accommodation early is a smart move if your dates are flexible.
The summer months from March to May bring rising heat, which can make sightseeing less comfortable during the middle of the day. Visitor numbers are lower during this period, so you'll find less competition for accommodation and generally easier travel logistics. If you can plan around the heat, it's a practical time to visit on a tighter budget.
Dasara, celebrated at the Mysore Palace each October, is one of the most well-known festivals in India and draws large crowds to Mysore every year. Beyond that, the Karnataka tourism website is a good starting point for current events, exhibitions, and cultural programmes before your trip.
