The journey from Coimbatore to Mysore moves between two of South India's most distinctive atmospheres. You leave the industrious energy of the 'Manchester of South India' and climb toward the royal heritage and sandalwood-scented air of Mysore. The distance looks modest on a map, but the route winds through the Western Ghats, where changing altitudes bring a dramatic shift in scenery and temperature, and it ends across the border in Karnataka.
