Hello, everyone! In today's blog post, I'll be sharing my recent visit to the Mysore Zoo, located midway between my current city and my hometown. The occasion for this trip was the Pongal festival, a grand celebration in Tamil Nadu. Fortunately, I had a seven-day holiday, presenting the perfect opportunity for me to embark on a journey to Chikkamangalur, where my parents reside. Join me as I recount the vibrant festivities of Pongal and the delightful moments spent reconnecting with family in the picturesque surroundings of Chikkamangalur.
Our family trip was patiently organized and included not just my immediate family but also my sister's family and a group of our uncle's friends. We assembled an energetic team of 20 people and used four cars to make our travel easier. Our excursion's main focus was the known Mysore Zoo, and it was a pleasure to discover its rich wildlife and attractions. Join me as I recount the exciting adventures and unforgettable memories from our family trip to the Mysore Zoo.
The travel from Tirupur to the Mysore Zoo took around four hours, so we were tired when we arrived. The lack of energy was obvious when we first began touring the huge expanse of the zoo. However, any exhaustion quickly passed as we engaged ourselves in the vast variety of species and interesting exhibitions. The vast range of animals, birds, and even snakes on display at the zoo astounded us and effectively restored our spirits.
We chose to be proactive about our meals in an effort to reduce the rising prices connected with eating, particularly given our big group of 20 people. Before departing on the trek, we had the foresight to bring breakfast from home. This sensible approach not only allowed us to enjoy a home-cooked lunch, but it also spared us from potentially expensive roadside options. Our breakfast halt in Thimbam Hills turned out to be a delightful diversion, allowing us to enjoy our packed food in a gorgeous environment. This smart approach not only resulted in a more cost-effective vacation experience, but also assured that we had nutritious and pleasant meals without having to rely on expensive alternatives. These modest, deliberate decisions add up to make the entire travel experience more delightful and cost-effective.
I've also taken some stunning photos of the numerous animals we saw during our stay, giving you a visual look into the beautiful world of the Mysore Zoo. These images not only demonstrate the intriguing content of the zoo, but also serve as a reminder of the energy and passion that overcome our first fatigue.

The chance to see these creatures up close and see their natural activities was well worth the expense. The entry cost for the visit seemed like a little thing to pay for the invaluable experience of being in the midst of such wonderful creatures. The Mysore Zoo not only expanded my knowledge of many animal species, but it also established a strong concern for the necessity of wildlife protection.
The meeting with the crocodiles was especially captivating since at first look, I mistaken one for a sculpture. The quietness and seeming rigidity made me question its vitality. However, following closer observation, a faint blink every two minutes verified its living existence, shocking me. The awareness that I was in the company of a living, breathing crocodile, flawlessly disguised in its surroundings, contributed to the excitement and amazement of the encounter. It was a stark reminder of the grandeur of the animal realm, as well as how nature's creations may occasionally pass as art. The unexpected moments of discovery and wonder, like this one, made my visit to the Mysore Zoo truly unforgettable.
Seeing the variety of snakes at the Mysore Zoo was a unique and exciting experience for me. The sight of six to seven snakes grouped together, including the stately king cobras, was both intriguing and scary. The variety of snake species on show, each with its own unique traits, was a firsthand experience that beyond anything I had previously seen on television.
Seeing these creatures in person provides a unique viewpoint, letting me to appreciate their complex patterns, motions, and the pure beauty of their scales. The experience with such a diverse group of snakes, including the legendary king cobras, bridged the gap between the imaginary world of television and the raw, palpable reality of the zoo. It was an enthralling event that expanded my knowledge and admiration for these wonderful creatures.
Unfortunately, our Sunday trip to the Mysore Zoo turned to be a mixed experience. The overwhelming crowds detracted from the overall experience, and the hectic atmosphere may have spoiled the peacefulness that many people crave when visiting a zoo. While the colorful energy of a huge crowd might be thrilling, it can also make it difficult to truly appreciate the tranquility of one's surroundings.
Furthermore, the cost of meals on the zoo grounds was disappointing, as it seemed to be in line with the taste or quality of what was supplied. However, these factors did not overwhelm the zoo's marvels. Despite the crowds and food concerns, the broad range of species and intriguing displays made the journey worthwhile, creating a lasting impact despite the slight difficulties.
It's sad to learn about the negative experience with sugar cane juice pricing at the Mysore Zoo. A considerable rise from the regular price of 20Rs per cup to 120Rs, plus an extra 18% tax, appears expensive and is naturally frustrating. Such incidents might have an influence on the overall enjoyment of the vacation, particularly when unexpected and exaggerated prices are imposed on basic utilities. To guarantee that visitors have a nice and satisfied experience, enterprises must maintain fair pricing policies. Despite this setback, I hope the overall memory of the Mysore Zoo's fauna, displays, and unusual interactions remain the focal focus of your stay, overshadowing any dissatisfaction with specific areas of the facility.
After finishing our tour of the zoo, we gathered in our various cars about 5:30 PM, ready to go on the next phase of our adventure to Chikamangalur, a five-hour drive away. Along the way, we stopped at a Coffee Day because our lunch at the zoo was underwhelming. However, the stop for refreshments turned out to be another costly venture.
Despite the need for a substantial lunch, the costs at the coffee shop, which included considerable money spent on snacks and coffee, proved to be shockingly expensive. In fact, the cost of one break alone equaled to half of the total gasoline costs for the journey. Such unplanned charges can put an effect on a journey's overall budget, adding an unexpected financial component to what would otherwise be a fun family vacation.
