  1. Mysore, is one of my favorite destination in India. This city is known as the cultural capital of Karnataka. It offers many historical sights to see. I visited this region before my boston to niagara trip. Mysore Palace is one of the best places there. Its interior is richly carved, intricate, colorful and architecturally thrilling. This palace is consists on three stories.
