whether conditions in this time are not bad. U can visit Bandipur national park near Bangalore. U can enjoy Elephant Ride and Wildlife safari there. It will be a nice experience for u and for ur children. U can also visit the famous amusement park Wonderla which is situated in the city itself..
In Mysore u can visit Tippu’s palace, major tourist attraction in Karnataka. Another attraction in Mysore is Brindavan gardens. The musical fountains and colored lights transform this place into a magical fairyland .
