The city of Tipu Sultan. Went there with Sagar(my roommate) over a weekend just for killing time. Ranganthittu is a very well preserved bird sanctuary. Really well preserved due to the crocodiles in the lake. Getting closer to the birds is only possible through a boat. Heard of tales where a girl's hand got eaten years back but maybe just a story. There are quite a few birds there, pelicans, storks, cormorants, spoonbills and other water birds. Few smaller ones if you search for them real hard. Crocs would be in the water unless its morning. Also saw a huge bat herd and a few langurs around.
Srirangaptnam has a few old sites. There is Tipu's fort, his memorial also a temple there. Mysore itself is not very far with the palace and the Brindavan gardens. Stayed there for the evening light show but had to give the palace a miss as we couldn't find lodging so took a bus back home.
