The best ways to get a glimpse of the heart of Karnataka is a bike trip from Bangalore to Mysore. It\u2019s actually one of the most popular weekend getaways among Bangaloreans. While the road is good, there are so many places you can halt at for a quick break. You would also be surprised at how many action-packed little towns come along the way.<\/p>\n

A road trip to Mysore never disappoints, if you keep a few things in mind. It\u2019s always good to be prepared.<\/p>\n

In any case, we will still share a few places worth visiting on your bike trip from Bangalore to Mysore. You could always save these places for another trip. Before you go on that ride though, keep these things in mind.<\/p>\n

Bangalore to Mysore Distance<\/h2>\n

On an average, it takes about 3 hours to reach Mysore from Bangalore. The distance is approximately 140 kms. But all of this also depends on the route you take, what time you leave and also which day you\u2019re riding. And of course, which part of Bangalore you\u2019re in.<\/p>\n

Let us make this easier for you so you can make the most of your trip.<\/p>\n

Best time for Bangalore to Mysore road trip<\/h2>\n

Always choose weekdays if possible<\/strong>. More specifically, early morning. During peak hours, getting out of Bangalore can take the same amount of time as reaching Mysore. We\u2019re not at all kidding. Bangalore\u2019s traffic can be horrible. And on weekends, the roads between Mysore and Bangalore are often packed. So if you have the option, travel on a weekday. But in any case, always leave early in the morning. If you can start by 6:00 or even 5:30, nothing like it.<\/p>\n

Hitting the road during the monsoon season is always liberating for riders<\/strong>. There\u2019s no doubt that it\u2019s a good time for a bike trip. However, if you\u2019re a new rider, or not too experienced, we wouldn\u2019t recommend it. Just better to be safe and gain more experience first. It\u2019s good to be prepared. Mysore\u2019s winters are pretty sweet though. Riding during this weather is terrific. The weather is cool and enjoyable, but not overbearing, unless you have a low resistance.<\/p>\n

Bangalore to Mysore Route<\/h2>\n

The quickest route is the one that goes through Mysore Road<\/strong>. Your route will take you through Bidadi, Ramanagara, Maddur, Mandya and then finally, Mysore. The road is essentially the Bangalore-Mysore expressway. Don\u2019t get confused though, as part of the route is also the State Highway 17 and the National Highway 275. It\u2019s a very straightforward road that\u2019s convenient too.<\/p>\n

Bangalore-Mysore Important Road Information<\/h2>\n

The roads are in pretty good condition, but it\u2019s mostly just 2 lanes for one direction. It\u2019s very important to remember there will be many intersections, little towns and villages popping out of nowhere. Sometimes, there won\u2019t be a signboard to prepare you. Which means, people and vehicles randomly pop out of nowhere. So you should be safe and not ride too fast. Especially when you enter a town or a village area.<\/p>\n

You also might come across random barricades and checkpoints. Between villages though, the stretch of road is always really beautiful and well maintained. Lot of greenery makes the ride all-the-more enjoyable. Another important thing is that Mandya is where you will experience some traffic<\/strong>. Depending on the day and the time, it might not be a lot. But it could slow you down a little.<\/p>\n

Mandya is also where you should ride slower<\/strong>. The locals here are not always gracious drivers or riders. Also, the Karnataka State Transport Buses have a reputation for being a little wild at times. In any case, it goes without saying that you should be careful around bigger vehicles in general. Just don\u2019t look for opportunities to find out your bike\u2019s top speed and you\u2019ll be good. The road is actually enjoyable with many green and clean stretches.<\/p>\n

Safety First<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Goes without saying, never ride without a proper helmet. Ensure that you have sufficient fuel (even though there are many along the way) and that your bike is in a good condition. Never compromise on your safety. Do wear a biker jacket and gloves and carry all the essential documentations for your bike.<\/p>\n
