It was a wonderful drive up the hill. Roads are well spaced out for two vehicles, no major hairpin bends. You also get to see the aerial view of Mysore, the palace looks stunning from the top.

The temple area is crowded during festivals and weekends. Near the bus stop, it's complete chaos, could be maintained better. Paid parking is available, which is well organized.
