Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 a friend of mine who is currently in mysore got the information from this website http://yogaholidays.net/mysore/index.htm ... and to get there, here are some tips... GETTING TO MYSORE The nearest airport is Bangalore. There's an increasing number of international flights landing there, as well as several daily flights from Goa, Bombay or Delhi. From Bangalore airport, take a rickshaw into town and catch a train or a bus. There are buses to Mysore every half an hour from the Central Bus Stand, across the road from the railway station. Bus and train take about 3 hours and cost around Rs 50. The faster Shatabdhi Express train (Rs 280) takes just two hours. The three hour taxi ride from Bangalore to Mysore costs about Rs 1,300, but make sure to agree the price beforehand or use the prepaid taxi counter at the airport. Another option is to land in Chennai (Madras) and from there, to take the train. There are two direct trains from Chennai to Mysore. The Shatabdhi Express, which leaves Chennai at 6 in the morning, is a comfortable air conditioned train which makes the journey in seven hours, and there’s also an overnight train. For more information on trains, see The Indian Railways Websiste For more information on train travel in South India, including time table and fare, A useful number is that of Seagull Travels (for airport pickups at Bangalore, etc. (91) 821 2529 732. naranjoandrea <naranjoandrea wrote: Hey does someone know what is the best way to get to Mysore from the bangalore airport?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 you can take the train ....there's 2 kinds an express train and a regular one. which train you take depends on your time of arrival at the train station. its really easy. when you arrive in bangalore just take the rickshaw or taxi to the train station. upon arrival at the tran station if you are travelling alone and hv more luggage then you can handle, there are porters you can pay to assist you. good luck and have fun .

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 My research says it is best to take a taxi, but you could also take a train. Check ayri.org for a little info on traveling to Mysore. naranjoandrea <naranjoandrea wrote: Hey does someone know what is the best way to get to Mysore from the bangalore airport?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 you can prearrange a taxi to pick you up at the airport for about US$40 and take you directly to mysore (3 hours). Log onto the official ashtanga website and there are links to numbers to call to arrange a pick up. You can arrange by email also. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Namaste Fellow yogis and yoginis I am writing to find out if anyone is interested in teaching prenatal yoga in the South Bay Area region of Northern California. A place I currently teach for is actively looking to start a prenatal program and is recruiting qualified teachers. Please contact me via email if you or anyone you know is interested.
