Illuminated Mysuru becomes major draw: Ambaari bus upper deck fully booked till Oct. 22

Mysuru: The dazzlingly lit-up Mysuru city has turned into a key attraction, significantly boosting the demand for the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation’s (KSTDC) popular Ambaari bus rides.
A 130-km stretch of the city has been illuminated as part of the recently concluded Mysuru Dasara celebrations and will remain illuminated until Oct. 23, enticing both locals and tourists to catch the vibrant night views of the city.
The Ambaari bus rides, offered in specially designed double-decker buses, have received an overwhelming response with 100 percent bookings until Oct. 22. The seats on the upper deck, which offers an open-top view, are fully booked, while around 65 percent of the lower deck seats have been reserved.
As in previous years, the Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) Ltd. has adorned the streets surrounding the Mysore Palace with colourful ornamental lights. Over 65 illuminated artefacts based on various themes have also been set up, drawing wide attention from visitors.
