Chamundi Hill View Point. - Scenic spot in Mysuru - Mysuru, India

Chamundi Hill is a prominent landmark and tourist attraction in Mysore, Karnataka, India. This hill is famous for the Chamundeshwari temple, dedicated to Goddess Chamundeshwari, an incarnation of the Hindu goddess Durga. Chamundeshwari Temple is a major pilgrimage site and a place of religious importance that attracts devotees and visitors from all over the world. It offers panoramic views of Mysuru city and is known for its architectural and religious importance.

Best time to visit is 1hr after sunset, so you see the city lights from there. The road to the top is slightly elevated, if by 2 wheeler do park it on the side and enjoy the view.

Visiting Chamundi Hill in Mysore was an incredibly enriching experience that left me awestruck. The journey up the hill was an adventure in itself, with the winding road offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city below. As a local guide, I can confidently say that this place is a must-visit for anyone coming to Mysore. The highlight, of course, is the majestic Chamundeshwari Temple. The intricate architecture, vibrant colors, and the sense of spirituality in the air create a truly tranquil atmosphere. Climbing the 1,000 steps to the temple might sound daunting, but the effort is more than worth it. Alternatively, the drive up the hill provides an equally captivating experience. Once at the summit, the bird's-eye view of Mysore is mesmerizing, especially during sunset when the city's lights begin to twinkle. The cool breeze and serene environment make it an ideal spot for introspection and relaxation. I was also impressed by the well-maintained surroundings and the amenities available for visitors. Clean restrooms, seating areas, and information boards added to the overall positive experience. The presence of local vendors selling traditional items and refreshments added a touch of authenticity. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, a nature enthusiast, or someone who simply enjoys scenic beauty, Chamundi Hill caters to all. It's a place that effortlessly combines the cultural heritage of Mysore with its natural splendor. Remember to carry some water and wear comfortable shoes if you decide to climb the steps. In conclusion, my visit to Chamundi Hill was nothing short of magical. The aura of divinity, the breathtaking views, and the well-maintained facilities make it a top recommendation for anyone exploring Mysore. This place truly deserves its spot on the map as a local treasure. (Note: This review is based on my visit up until September 2021. Please verify the current status before planning your visit.)

A viewpoint on the way to Chamundi hill top.Great place to stop.Its preferable to stop by while coming back after visiting the temple as this view point is on the DN side of road with divider in between.

Good place to relax preferably in evening. There are local vendors to grab something to eat amazing view. On a weekend the palace illumination looks awesome. There is a binocular point as well

If you are in Mysore you must visit this place , preferably early morning or evening after 3.30 .. it was really beautiful place

Very good early morning drive. Best view of mysore from hill top. Over weekend it will be crowded. Over weekdays it was less crowded and good parking space with parking fee of 50 rupees for 4 wheeler. If you are going to temple, beware of monkeys. They will snatch all the Pooja items n all and will sit on your shoulders. If the line to temple is moving then it's fine they won't do anything. Shops or hotels are limited to eat. Hotels are little unhygienic near temple so better avoid it. Overall good experience.

Nice view and binoculars with good focus at small spot. Organized with number of people been allowed on the deck.
