Balmuri Falls

You can see a lot of street sellers located at this place. The fish freshly caught from the lake is always a best dish to have after a good swim.
Apart from fish you will also get freshly baked crabs and lot of other vegetarian dishes to enjoy your visit and make it much better to remember.
Note to keep in mind on the visit is keep your children and family safe from depth places has instructed by the life guard. There are few places where the depth is more and the stones inside the river are a bit slippery as well. Avoid mishaps by following all safety measures.
Swimming in this place is little dangerous during the rainy season as the water level will be higher than usual. Keeping that in mind, March to August is the best time to visit. Or say, if you want to enjoy the waterfalls then visit right after Monsoons.
Edmuri Falls
This is not as much famous as the Balmuri Falls but however its an alternative if you don’t like crowded places. The Edmuri Falls located a km east of the Balmuri Falls.

Mysore is well known for its heritage buildings and tourist places. The city attracts tourists from all around the globe. Mysore is located in the southern part of Karnataka state. This city was the capital of the Wodeyar dynasty who ruled for more than six centuries. One can find many tourist places in and around the city. One such famous tourist place is the Krishna Raja Sagara Dam or KRS dam. This dam is also known as Krishna Raja Sagara Dam named after Krishna Raja Wodeyar, king of Mysore. This dam is about 20km from the Mysore city premises.
Today this dam comes under the Mandya district, even though it is near Mysore city. Cauvery river runs through this dam which is a major source of drinking water for the people of Mysore, Mandya, and Bangalore City. The water is stored in the dam for agricultural purposes in the Mandya district.
The Brindavan auditorium spreads over 60 acres and is located at a distance of 21 km down from Mysore. Erected across the notable swash of India, River Cauvery, it took around five years to complete the design. The well-accompanied root show with music, voyaging and well-manicured lawn with flowerbeds are some of the top gests of Brindavan Gardens in Mysore.
Constructed in the year 1932 by the Diwan of Mysore, Sir Mirza Ismail, Brindavan Garden is visited by millions of excursionists every year. Divided into two corridors, north and south, the voyaging installation offered by the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation connect the two corridors along with a walkway ground.
Mysore is one of the large cities in the Karnataka state and it is a major factor that adds to the state’s tourism industry and is a great revenue generator. Mysore, the city of palaces, has a rich history and several tourist attractions. The Chamundi hills in Mysore is a top tourist attraction that draws in photographers, nature lovers, Hindu devotees, and fitness freaks all day of the year. The Chamundi Hills Mysore construction was carried out during the 11th century.
Note as always follow the safety measures and be safe. During the rainy season the flow of the water will be more because of the Cauvery’s water inflow.
