A YIndian, Yorkshire by birth and Indian by marriage. Originally from the UK, I've now lived in Mysore, South India for over ten years with my beautiful wife Manjula. MeandMycycle is about the ups, downs and ups of our life in Mysore and our creations: Mysore Bed and Breakfast and MyCycle Tours.

More to help you have a great stay in Mysore

A few suggestions for places to eat and to find your way around Mysore.

Places to Eat

Hannah Moss of the UK has provided three great guides to eating out in Mysore. These are available on the Brighton Astanga blog.

I’d also rate RRR for a leaf meal lunch and add two city centre roof top restaurants:

Roopa Hotel, opposite the Woodlands Theatre on BN Road,

and

Shilpashri, Bar and Restaurant On Ghandi square next to the horrible advertising hoardings

and

Kamat Madhuvan a bit further out on the Nanjangud road and sometimes has live music

close to the BnB are Ramani, Lalith Mahal (a great experience but can be a it hit and miss on service and food)

Finding your way around Mysore

Mysore BnB in addition to it’s MYCycle tours and Fare’s Fair Auto Rickshaw Tours has bicycles for hire.

To help you find your own way around Mysore, Srirangaptnam and Bylakuppe Stephen and previous guests have drawn maps. Contact the BnB for more info tours@mycycle.co

our first young Indian family on a MyCycle Srirangapatnam Tour

Priya kindly reviews our MYCycle Tours to the Club Mahindra community. Her family, from Mumbai, that’s Priya, her husband Hashin and son Tarun, joined us on Srirangaptnam tour. We’ve had many families join our tours but this was the very first  young Indian family and whilst they are trail blazers and cycling is becoming more of a leisure thing in India amongst young people, we hope we will see more Indian families trying out cycling.

we cater for groups too

Giacomo from Centro Yoga Belluno brought a lovely group of Italian guests to stay with us.

They all practice yoga at the centre in Italy and visited the BnB at the end of their tour of India.

They couldn’t fit in one of our MYcycle tours but Vasanth arranged a Fare’s Fair Rickshaw Ride covering Mysore City, Palace and parts of the amazing Srirangaptnam. Another example of the team working together to meet the needs of our wonderfully diverse guests.

So we’re happy to cater for groups even at the BnB. As we’re so small it has to be arranged in advance and usually out of our main season (that’s the winter months).

Photos of our guests

We’ve just completed yet another busy winter period with a rich variety of guests from around the world coming to experience the wonderful Mysore. Joining stimulating conversations at the relaxing BnB, meandering on our cycles through lush countryside, visiting interesting communities and learning about the magic of Mysore and the sensational Srirangaptnam. Photos of the guests and some of their experiences are now posted on https://www.flickr.com/photos/manjulasmysore/sets If you are looking for the photos taken while you visited, they are organised in sets according to the months youth stayed. Happy hunting, there’s lots 🙂 Stephen, Manjula and Lucy.
