You might want to catch the sunrise at the monastery’s main courtyard the light on the prayer flag wall is striking early. If you’re pressed for time, the small museum on the left side of the complex has a few thangka paintings that give a quick sense of Tibetan art. After that, a prepaid taxi from the Mysore bus station is the fastest way back. If you need a comfortable stopover before heading back, consider staying at Silent Shores Resort & Spa.
