Hi Forum, We are a young couple coming to Bangalore on 22-dec-2012 early in the morning at around 6.30 AM and have return train at 8.50 PM on 26-dec-2012 from Bangalore to Hyderabad. We are basically nature lovers would like to spend our time in lush green places. We don't like to travel too much during our trip. We love calm, pleasant places with lots of greenery, flowers, birds etc. Could you please suggest us best tour plan including sites to visit, where to stay, where to eat etc. We can spend around Rs. 2000 to 2500/- per night for accommodation.

Hi, I'm going to Mysore for a week in Feb. can anyone suggest any highly reccommended drop in yoga classes? I have made enquiries about quite a few and they all require a minimum of a months attendance. I'm keen but can't afford that amount of time there! Any advice on a lone girl travelling from Bangalore to Mysore would be great too. Landing at 5am so thinking of getting the train...any tips? Cheers Brijette x

Hi I am thinking of moving to Mysore for a couple of months. I am from the UK. There are a couple of things I need help with before I decide if I can go to Mysore. Firstly is there a 25m swimming pool in Mysore? Either public or private or perhaps a nice hotel? I am a swimmer and I would need to have a swimming pool. How do they feel about females swimming? I am cool with there being a separate ladies session. Secondly are there any intensive kannada courses? I mean 6+ hours a day for maybe one month. I would also be prepared to pay for one-to-one lessons so that I can learn faster. Looking forward to your reply. Many thanks Fish

Can anyone help with the address and telephone number of Hardwicke Church in Mysore? Also any write up on the internet about the history of this church would be of great help.

I'm going to be in Bangalor next week and wanted to take a trip to Mysore. The office I am visiting has offered to arrange a taxi to take me to Mysore for the day - but they are estimating that it will cost 100USD. It's been suggested to me that it shouldn't cost anything like that much (in Bali we hired a car and driver for a day for 25USD and I'm told that India should be similar). Any comments or suggestions on how best to go about this? I only have one day to spare (sadly a Monday not a Sunday) and I have to return to Bangalore that night. Is this feasible, or should I look for something closer at hand? Thanks, -Dominic

Hello all! My question is about the risk of malaria during the time that I'll be traveling/visiting in Mysore, Bangalore and Mumbai. I'll be there from Jan 7th until the 22nd. From my understanding this is the height of winter - I recognize that malaria is a very real threat, but under the circumstances I'm wondering if subjecting myself to not-so-pleasant side effects makes sense if I'm able to take necessary precautions (mosquito coils, mosquito repellent spray w/DEET, wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts during the evening). My question is how real of a threat do malaria-infected mosquitoes pose during my time of travel? I'm having some reservations on taking the pills I've been prescribed due to the information that I've come across. I've been prescribed Malarone. Any information would be incredibly helpful. I definitely want to be safe on the trip, but I don't want to spend the short time that I have there feeling ill due to the prescription. Take care & be well, Paz Emely O

We are a family of 5 (see Inspired Tutor question also) and looking for a house/villa/condo/apartment to rent in Mysore (and environs) from the middle of December until the first week in February '04. We would need enough space for 3 children and 2 adults. Would love any feedback...Diana

We are a family of 5 (2 adults/3children;ages 7, 10 and 11) travelling in India for 3 months. My husband is doing research for a novel. We are going to be based in Mysore from the middle of Dec. until the end of the first week in February. I will be doing Ashtanga yoga at AYRI in Gokulam and my husband will be writing each morning, therefore I am trying to find a unique person (perhaps Mysore University student) that would be able to "teach" the children about local customs, history, language, sights, etc. etc. during the morning hours--perhaps 3-4 each day. We could be flexible on days and times. The kids are eager and I am looking to find a person who would be excited to spend the time and share knowledge. We are leaving on Nov. 15th, so I just have a month left. Please advise with any information!! Many thanks, Diana
