Best Time for Educational Tours
August to February is the most comfortable period in Bangalore and Mysore, with pleasant weather for outdoor visits. The Mysore Dasara season in September or October is a special time to visit, though the city is crowded and rates are higher.
March to June works well for tours during the summer vacation, though afternoons can be warm. Museums and indoor visits are usually scheduled during the hotter hours.
