Not only yoga in Mysuru

Finally, more days on one place. So after arriving and small breakfast I went to visit Masterji's shala to arrange practicing. Well, nobody's home and the phone number doesn't work. Good start. Let's find accommodation. I wrote to my guy and he replied: yes, I have a room but I am available at 1pm (it was 9am). Nice, even better. After spending night in semisleeper bus without teacher and without accommodation. So I walked to Gokulam (part of the city famous because of yoga) and went to one super eco friendly green bio restaurant for a smoothie. Yes, this part is quite affected by yoga people...
The accommodation part went really well. Around noon I was sitting in my room which is provided by really nice old couple. Eight days in Indian family! My room was next to their living room so daily contact was inevitable.
And the yoga practice part. I went to yoga shala again but same results. So let's find something else! It's quite hard! Almost nobody is accepting drop in class, everyone requires min one month of stay. But it the end of the next day I finally found a place. One week, two lectures per day, in the morning ashtanga vinyasa and in the afternoon back bending and hip opening. Nice!
But the rest of the Sunday belongs to sightseeing. At first Chamundi hills. Everybody's saying: go there! There's amazing view to city. Be careful. It's not directly there. On the top of the hill there are only temples, bunches of stalls and huge crowd waiting for Dharsana... not much to see. But! If you take pilgrim path you'll find amazing views... And you'll be alone because Indian people are lazy...
Next stop in the evening is famous Palace which should be enlightened. Well, just check the picture. It's breathtaking.
It's sad to say it but that's almost everything in Mysuru (if you are not fan of zoo). The city is also famous by sandalwood factory.
The last point what nobody can miss is a street food here. You have to try Masala dosa and Gobi manchurian it's just amazing!
Wow I almost forgot. In the city centre is market, they have everything! Personally, I like "banana street" the most...
Well, if you're not into yoga, go there for one or two days and make sure that one of the days is Sunday (because of enlightenment of the Palace). Otherwise there's not to much to see, only stay calm a do yoga.Read more
