    You can hop on a taxi from Mysore railway station or the city centre it’s about a 1½ hour drive. The road is straight and the scenery is pretty calm. Once you arrive, the main sights are the Tibetan Buddhist centre itself, the Ganesha temple inside the settlement, and the little museum that shows Tibetan art. If you have a few hours, walk around the monastery’s courtyard and watch the monks in their morning prayers that’s the quickest way to get a feel for the place before heading back.
