Yadavagiri & Vijayanagar (2026 Guide): Bungalow Living & Modern Mysore Suburbs
Perched on a cool, elevated plateau north of the railway line, Yadavagiri was the preferred retreat of royal dignitaries and literary giants, including celebrated author R.K. Narayan whose historic home is preserved here as a public museum.
Directly to the west across the Outer Ring Road lies Vijayanagar (spanning 4 extensive stages), developed by MUDA into a self-contained modern city with wide boulevards, multi-cuisine restaurants, and modern supermarkets.
Sri Ramakrishna Ashram & R.K. Narayan Museum
