Lovely heritage walk - We had a few days time in Mysore so decided to do a heritage walk. Shiva was outstanding. We learnt so much about Mysore and India in general over this 2 hours of walk. The city is perfect for a walking tour and this tour was one of the most enjoyable experiences I had during my India visit.
